The story behind this game is that my smartphone got damaged, requiring me to revert back to an old phone. Suddenly I knew the smartphone was missing something and the idea for a accurate Snake remake was born.

Snake is an homage to the classic mobile phone game being programmed in 1997.

By carefully analyzing the classic gameplay, timing and controls, this Snake Retro remake is one of the most accurate available.
