Snakes is an action game and an updated version of Snake (1998) that came preloaded on Nokia mobile phones.
+ Does a terrific job of gradually introducing new mechanics and items to spice things up and stop repetition from creeping in.
+ Hexagon grids add a new wrinkle, as they require you to retrain your brain and make sure to account for extra d-pad presses to turn.
+ Strikes a perfect balance of being hypnotically relaxing (especially with its ambient music), while also pushing you to beat the clock.
+ Multiple camera angles to choose from (including a cool overhead view) and the Bluetooth multiplayer mode ensures longevity.
- Slight, but noticeable delay between pressing a direction and your snake performing that action, which can cause unwanted collisions.
- Frame-rate occasionally stutters, and the levels can feel very rigid in the way you're expected to beat them.
