### 4/5 — Addictive but

*2021-04-18*

The continue option to get extra life by seeing ad doesn’t work, hence 4 stars. Great game easy to learn and play

### 1/5 — Poop 💩

*2019-08-26, version 1.0*

It’s so not fun because I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ what snake 🐍 I am paying for its stupid this game is glitching like every second so I give you a 1 and a half

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2019-06-12*

The app is basically snake.io on ad steroids 👎

### 3/5 — What?

*2019-05-24, version 1.0*

Why can’t I see the snakes before I buy them?

### 5/5 — Классная игра

*2018-11-09, version 1.0*

Реклама кормит разработчика. Никто не будет бесплатно писать игру. И вообще-то можно выключить в настройках доступ этого приложения к интернету, рекламы не будет, но не рекомендую так делать. Это зарплата разработчика!

### 1/5 — Direk engeller çıkıyor

*2018-09-14, version 1.0*

Oyunun yapımcısı oyunu oynayabiliyor mu?

### 1/5 — enjoyable game??!!

*2018-07-09*

In my opinion I didn’t like the game at all  it’s not enjoyable. “ADDs” always pop up in the middle of the game and after add is over u just lose and it is not even  a mistake that u made through the game it’s just cuz the add popped while the game is on and continuing. Plus the game has many glitches I mean upon the squares that just pop up there is that edges that makes it even harder for u to move faster.

### 5/5 — .

*2018-05-04, version 1.0*

Крутая игра.

### 1/5 — One star for the gameplay being good.

*2018-04-27*

But you can’t play it because the adds are so bad.

### 3/5 — Enjoyable but a ad issue

*2018-03-31*

I keep running into a issue where I will start a run and a ad would pop up and with the X in the corner you are almost always going to die when you close it
