Snake Gauntlet is the classic snake you remember — faster, meaner, and built for Apple Watch and iPhone. Steer with a swipe, wrap around the edges, and grow as you eat. But this isn't your old phone's snake: dodge roaming enemies, outrun falling acid, and torch threats with fireballs. Climb the levels, bank golden-bean revives, and see how far your reflexes take you. FEATURES • Pure, fast snake gameplay — swipe to steer, tap to fire • Plays full-screen on iPhone and natively on Apple Watch • Roaming enemies, falling acid, and fireballs to fight back • Golden beans bank a revive, so one mistake isn't the end • Four difficulty modes — Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extreme • Endless Infinite Mode to chase your best score • Crisp haptics and punchy retro sound • No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Plays completely offline. Whether you've got ten seconds on your wrist or ten minutes on your phone, Snake Gauntlet is one-more-run fun.
