## Description

Defragger is a thrilling snake-themed puzzle action game where you defragment an old hard drive represented by blue blocks. Turn these blocks green by connecting three or more in a row to score combos and rack up points. Be cautious—moving across your own body or the edge creates red corrupted blocks that can crash your hard drive if you attempt to defragment them.

Unlock special multiplier blocks as your score rises to increase points and clear parts of your body. Use your special ability to slow down time and repair corrupted blocks, helping you navigate complex challenges. With swipe or tap controls, various color themes, achievements, and a leaderboard via Google Game Services, Defragger offers endless fun for puzzle and action game lovers seeking a unique twist on classic snake gameplay.
