CrazySoft has released a modern update to a classic game, Snake.
The object of the game is to control a snake that grows longer as time passes and it eats more fruit, making sure that it does not hit a wall or cross over itself. Bonus objects include soda to shrink the snake and make it easier to control, meat to lengthen the snake, making it harder to control but earning a large point bonus.
This version features impressive graphics and an all-new Adventure mode along with Easy and Hard gameplay modes. The player can use the stylus to tap on the screen, the hard buttons, or the Tapwave Zodiac joystick to control the snake. Sound effects are included, as well as high score tables.
Palm OS 3 or higher device required (color or greyscale), and a hi-res version is also available.
Snake Deluxe is available now for $12.95 at the CrazySoft web site.
