Snake, rebuilt from scratch. Everything runs on a simulated monochrome LCD — real pixel ghosting, a backlight that falls off toward the edges, and a dot-matrix grid you can see if you look closely. Turn the ghosting off if you'd rather have it crisp. SINGLE PLAYER • Competitive — fixed board sizes, so a score means the same thing for everyone. Three sizes: Classic, Large and Extra. • Casual — the full board, no ranking, just play. • Four boards — Open, Box, Pillars and Bars — each one built to fit the size you picked. • Ten speeds. Two snakes: SNAKE, the classic, and SNAKE+, which adds bonus food on a timer. DUELS • VS BOT — practise against the AI. • Nearby — two iPhones in the same room, over local Wi-Fi. • Game Center — match up online. Both phones simulate the same game in lockstep, so neither one drifts. PROGRESS • Rotating missions — three at a time, replaced as you finish them. • Achievements, including a few for playing on a nearly dead battery. • Stats: games, food eaten, best score per board size. MAKE IT YOURS • Design your snake's face and body in the editor and save your designs. • Particle effects for eating, dying and your tail — nine to choose from. • Six display colours, plus light, dark or follow-the-system. • Haptics and on-screen hints, both optional. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. No account. Your scores, stats and designs stay on your phone. Analytics and crash reporting are on by default and can be turned off in Settings — they are never used for advertising. FOUNDERS PACK One optional purchase unlocks every cosmetic — the snake designer and all nine effects — and helps fund the next game. If you bought Pro Features in an earlier version, tap Restore Purchases in Settings and you already own it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snake at none against Snake''s 1. Snake also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and review sentiment (70% vs 50%). Snake''s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
