Snake. The way it should feel. No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking. One purchase, forever — or play free, forever. Snake Zero is the classic Snake game, rebuilt with tight controls, satisfying haptics, handcrafted visual themes, and three distinct ways to play. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a direction. Eat. Grow. Don't crash. That's it. The grid is clean, the movement is honest, and the controls respond instantly. Built for one-hand play on the bus, in line, between meetings, or whenever you want one perfect run. Three modes: • SNAKE RETRO — the original, the way you remember it • SNAKE ZERO — manual movement, mystery boxes, efficiency scoring • RUSH — swipe through lanes, build combos, dodge close, and charge Rush Mode NEW IN 1.11.1: RUSH MODE Rush is a fast, 2D Snake runner built for quick replayable runs. Swipe left and right across three lanes. Collect point blocks. Grab food. Dodge boxes. Build your combo. Fill the Rush Meter. Then smash through obstacles during Rush Mode and chase a new best score. Rush includes: • Handcrafted obstacle patterns • Combo multipliers • Close-call rewards • Rush Meter and obstacle smashing • Shield, Magnet, and Slow Time power-ups • In-run objectives • New results stats and best-score moments It still feels like Snake. Just faster. 20 HANDCRAFTED THEMES Themes are not skins. Each one is a complete look: colors, materials, board frame, particles, post-processing, and audio designed together. Free, included with download: • Original — neon classic • Retro LCD — Game Boy nostalgia • Void — pure darkness • Paper — warm sepia • Ember — warm coals • Monochrome — black & white • Ocean — deep blue • Terminal — CRT phosphor Premium ($4.99 one-time, includes future packs): • Neon City • Synthwave • Sakura • Frost • Gold • Hacker • Mint • Coral • Storm • Obsidian • Aurora • Desert …and more shipping with every update. TRY EVERY PREMIUM PACK FREE Tap any premium theme to preview it for the rest of your session. No paywall pop-ups, no time pressure. Buy when you find one you love. PRIVACY: ZERO DATA COLLECTED No analytics. No ad SDKs. No login. No network calls except the App Store payment. Your scores and unlocks live on your device. That's it. APP ICON CHOICES Pick your home-screen vibe. Multiple icon variants ship with the app — choose in Settings. ACCESSIBILITY • Hardware keyboard support • High-contrast theme options • Reduced-motion respected • Haptic feedback toggle WHO MADE THIS Snake Zero is built by Dr. X, an independent developer who wanted a Snake game that doesn't beg, doesn't track, and doesn't waste your time. If you like it, the $4.99 unlock keeps it that way.
