Overview

Win Snake delivers a faithful recreation of the classic Nokia mobile game that defined an era of simple gaming. This remake brings all five original mazes to modern systems, preserving the addictive "eat apples, grow longer" gameplay loop that made Snake iconic. Early impressions suggest it captures the nostalgic charm but shows its age through rudimentary visuals, resulting in a mixed experience that satisfies retro cravings without modern enhancements.

The best feature of this game must be its jamming sound track which defiantly does make eating all those apples that much more entertaining.

Pure Snake Gameplay

The core experience remains untouched: players guide a growing serpent around confined mazes, collecting apples while avoiding collisions with walls and their own ever-lengthening tail. Each successful apple consumption awards points while simultaneously increasing the challenge, creating that signature tension between risk and reward. The recreation includes all five original maze layouts, preserving the authentic challenge progression that made the mobile version so compelling. Movement maintains the grid-based precision that requires careful planning several moves ahead, especially as the snake's length approaches maze capacity. This straightforward but deeply engaging formula remains satisfying decades later, offering quick gaming sessions perfect for short breaks.

Visual and Audio Presentation

Visually, Win Snake shows its retro roots through chunky, simplistic graphics. The snake itself appears as a chain of oversized red spheres that dominate the screen, with no option to adjust their size or appearance. These visuals remain noticeably blocky even on high-resolution modern displays, lacking the polish expected from contemporary remakes. Background elements receive praise for maintaining the clean, functional aesthetic of the original Nokia versions. Where the presentation shines is the audio department, featuring an energetic soundtrack that elevates the core gameplay loop. The upbeat, catchy music transforms simple apple-collecting into a more engaging experience, providing essential auditory feedback that complements the on-screen action.

Win Snake is a faithful remake of Snake found on most Nokia cell phones. It comes complete with all 5 of the original mazes. For those of you who don’t know the concept behind snake: You have to guide a snake around a screen and eat as many apples as you can. Each time you eat an apple you get some points and your snake grows slightly longer making it increasingly more difficult to get the next apple. The graphics are rather chunky, even on my high screen resolution and the snake is just comprised of large red spheres. Besides that the graphics are pretty good. The best feature of this game must be its jamming sound track which defiantly does make eating all those apples that much more entertaining.
