Snake: Classic Retro by Goody

Remember sneaking in a game of Snake on your old phone? It's back with a smooth glass look and four ways to play, and you can play all you want without a single ad.

For a lot of us, Snake was the first game we ever played on a phone. It got us through long car rides and waiting rooms, one more try at a time. We missed it, so we brought it back and gave it the care it deserved.

The idea is as simple as it always was. Swipe anywhere on the screen or tap the arrows to steer, eat the apple to grow a little longer, and keep from running into your own tail. It takes a few seconds to learn, and once you start chasing a new best score, it's hard to put down.

When you're ready for more, there are four ways to play. Classic lets you slip off one edge and come back on the other, just like the original. Walls ends your run the moment you touch the side. Mazes builds walls into the board and gives you a new layout every game. And Daily hands everyone the same maze each day, so you can keep coming back to beat your best and see how far you can get.

You also get to choose how fast you want to go. Level 1 gives you time to think, while level 9 moves quickly and pays more points for every apple. Your best score is saved for every speed in every mode, so there's always something to beat.

Every bite comes with a small tap you can feel, and a crash gives you a little bump, so the game feels good in your hand. If you'd rather play quietly, sound and vibration each turn off on their own, and the game pauses itself whenever you step away.

There are no ads interrupting your game, nothing to buy, and no account to make. Your scores stay on your phone, and nothing you do is tracked.

Snake comes from the Goody family in Bulverde, Texas, the same family behind Goody's Plumbing. It's the first of a few old favorites we're bringing back, and we hope it brings back some good memories for you too.
