Features
Read full description

Lewis the Snake is a modern take on the classic: one endless open world, filled with food, power-ups, ticking bombs and rival snakes that grow just like you do. Steering takes one finger: hold the screen and Lewis follows. Eat to grow, weave past rivals, and snatch power-ups before they do. Every 10 seconds another snake joins the world. How long can you last? HOW IT PLAYS • One-finger steering, no swiping, no buttons • An infinite world with no walls: the only danger is everything in it • Speed boosts, slow-downs, shields and magnets, and your rivals use them too • Bombs with visible countdowns: outrun the blast or shield through it • Every dot scores points, and chaining quick bites pays more and more • Shave past danger for close-call bonuses: your score only ever goes up • One second chance per run: revive at half length and keep going WATCH THE SKY • Wind gusts sweep the world, pushing every snake and even the food • Meteor storms rain stones from above: a marked shadow is your only warning • Get caught under one and it's over, and the rubble it leaves is just as deadly • Rivals dodge the same storms you do. Not all of them make it • The harder the difficulty, the wilder the weather SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily Challenge: everyone in the world plays the same board, 3 attempts, one shared daily leaderboard • Build a daily streak, with an optional reminder so you never lose it • Live milestones and personal-best pressure as you close in on your record GAME CENTER • Leaderboards for every difficulty, your streak, and the Daily Challenge • 16 achievements to hunt down • High scores synced across your devices with iCloud MAKE IT YOURS• 11 snake skins and 8 board themes, including animated Galaxy, Dino and Cat b• 3 trophy skins that money can't buy: earn them with your score alone• Zen Mode: no rivals, no bombs, no game over.
