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.

★★★★★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.
★★★★★Harrison Juan· Feb 1, 2026

★★★★★kerrie harm· Mar 1, 2025

★★★★★Luke· May 17, 2026
I like this game because it is nostalgic. I played the original back in 2005.

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

They added Temu ad and they destroyed that. If you want I will pay for your game but Temu ad???? Why????
