★★★★★ A Google user · Aug 30, 2025
1st year of college...SOOO many memories...cold dark wintery days at the train station! ;-) Thank you...
★★★★★ Chris Drake · Jul 3, 2025
Reminds me of my childhood when I was given an old Nokia phone to play Snake on my bus ride home from elementary school. Hours and hours of fun, and will likely spend hours and hours again having fun.
★★★★★ Luke · May 17, 2026
I like this game because it is nostalgic. I played the original back in 2005.
★☆☆☆☆ Ondřej Hladík · May 23, 2025
They added Temu ad and they destroyed that. If you want I will pay for your game but Temu ad???? Why????
★★☆☆☆ Nu Zora · Nov 3, 2025
Game is fun, but the ad experience is terrible. Why do these apps feel the need to advertise suffering families or people drowning? And it's an ad every time you die. Remember old snake? No ads. It's the same exact game, which is a plus in my opinion, but it didn't have ads. Imagine that

Unplayable, settings open with every time I tough the screen

Description by dsd 164 Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Play Snake like it is 1997. This is a remake of the original Snake, complete with dot-matrix display and monotone sounds. Rewind time and get a dosis of nostalgia that is as addictive (and frustrating) as the original.

Play Snake '97 and be prepared to lose some productive hours.

Simply launch the app, touch a button and start!

Snake '97 features:
- old school controls
- dot-matrix display
- original monotone sounds (bleep bleep)
- 9 original and 3 extra difficulty levels
- Snake 1 and classic Snake 2
- 7 classic game modes (5110, 3210, 8210, 8850 and 3310, 3410 and 7110 with Snake 2)
- bonus creatures (Snake 2)
- go through the walls! (Snake 2)
- 5 original and 2 extra labyrinths (Snake 2)
- a high score that cannot be reset (just like the original)

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 '97 is an homage to the classic mobile phone game programmed in 1997.

By carefully analyzing the classic gameplay, timing and controls, this Snake '97 remake is one of the most accurate available.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to contact me.
Have Snake fun!

Best regards from Amsterdam,
The developer,
Willem.
