Unbeatable Snake Games...the Past, the Present, and the Future

the classical snake game

Snake game has had always been a part of my leisurely hours since my high school days. It is really funny to think that also my way of thinking has in a way been affected by the tricky snaky moves that had invaded cellular phones since it has started to become a commodity more than a decade ago.

Those were the times I just would skip classes just to play Snake. Whew! That was tough since I had to borrow my best friend’s (and at the same time, my classmate’s) bulky Nokia 5110 phone and had to compete with each other as to who will get the longest snake and of course, get the highest score. Not to add to that the one as to who will endure and make it to the topmost level, that is, survive the fastest and the most complicated routes, without touching the tricky mazes that will be undergone in the campaign. It was a classic game that tested our cleverness and practicality at the same time. And still continues to be. 

As I grow older (chronologically), so as the snake games. It has already a lot of variants that sometimes I have no idea if I’m still playing the same thing.  The simple game that I have had before is already old compared to the new game application that is installed in my X6. It has significantly evolved, armed with new customization settings (for example, a new body size, that will allow faster and more flexible movements or a body color that will make the snake stand out in the campaign) styled to sharpen strategies in fattening and ensuring that my virtual pet snake will live longer than its older counterparts.
