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.

Have Snake fun!

Ratings and reviews

COOL!!! Very good rendition of Snake 1997 version, seems to be just like the one I played on my Nokia 1510 years ago, 2,002'ish. I like how there's a choice of "phone overlays" or "covers,"I noticed that the first 4 you get Snake-version 1 where crashing into the outer rectangular wall IS possible. Where with the "phone overlays" of 5, 6 and 7 you get Snake-version 2 where you can THEN go through the outer rectangular wall; that's very helpful to know.😉 So happy to give this a thumbs up.👍🤠👍

it's really cool and I love that you can play different versions of it on the different Nokia phone it does a lot of ads so not five stars but I get it you need to make money somehow so yeah but overall still a great game even years later

Loving it so far. The snake moves a lot faster then I remember... Or I could just be getting older and slower. Haha. I find it hilarious it shows the Nokia phone. Really sets me back in time. Love it. The newer versions of the snake game have way to much. I love this simple version better.
