Find out what gamers are saying about Retro Widget: Snake Battles:
Thank you for making this widget. We miss Nokia phones and this really helps with our digital minimalism detox. Its now top of our Home Screen!
Put plz change numbers to arrows.
Love playing snake but we were really hoping the square Nokia widget would be the watch face!
Wish the snake buttons were more responsive/faster refresh rate. Also wish the widget actually updated to show the actual signal strength. A shortcuts command to refresh the widget so it can be automated would also be very nice. Edit: having played it more extensively now, here are a few changes to implement to give it better polish. 1))))) the faster speeds like 8-9 are wayy to fast for a human to play, especially with the laggy control inputs. Heck, even on 5 we have it just completely not responding to inputs sometimes. 2))))) in the original game, the score scales with what level you set it at. For example, when set to level 3 a food is worth 3 points but on level 9 its worth 9 points. With them all the same it provides less incentive for players to play at higher levels. 3))))) bonus point bugs dont create a tummy bulge but they do in the original. Nor do they cause the snakes mouth to open when one tile away from them. We get that they have different hitboxes than the food but it shouldnt be that hard to include. 4))))) there is a weird graphical glitch that follows right behind the players head. Not sure what that is. 5))))) wish it had the original beeper sound effects for eating food and the dying error noise. 6))))) when you die, it should only say top score if its actually the high score. Otherwise just score, or your score. We get that you can check it from leaderboard at anytime, but what about people that dont have a game center account/are not logged it? Then its up to them to remember it themselves?? 7))))) the keypad doenst include * or # for left and right turns. Hope this feedback is helpful.
Only suggestion is add better buttons, dont like the grid layout. Maybe add something more similar to the old nokia phones. We love the little window for the game just dont like the buttons on bottom.
This brings back memories of comparing Snake scores with folks every time you ran into them. Kept little competitions going that really heated up with Snake II as more and more people picked up Nokias. This combines that experience by adding Apple Leaderboards along with an authentic experience. 5 stars.
As someone who never used a Nokia phone but enjoys playing snake from time to time, this app is perfect for people who have never used a Nokia phone but enjoy playing snake from time to time. We dont know if the animations are recreated or pulled from the original Nokia game, but theres an apt amount of detail to this despite being pixel art. The snake can be seen swallowing the food as you pick it up. The offered watch face sounds cool but we do not have a compatible watch to give a fair review on it but our unfair review is that it sounds pretty cool. Using the 1,3,7, and 9 buttons will rotate the direction of your snake based on the button placement instead of acting as direction buttons and thats a pretty cool feature for people who might not about the directions as well as others. (Going right, hit 1 twice to start going left)
If you had snake on your Nokia device you will feel at home here. It also has a cool widget that replicates the home screen of the old Nokia.
Cant play from Home Screen on actual widget.
Really brought back the memory! And guess what? Instead of moving with arrow, we actually move with the numpad. We think its a pretty cool touch to the whole theme!
This brings back memories. Easily worth the trip down memory lane. This isn’t necessary but we wouldn’t mind if there was a up down left right movement setup. Don’t know if I’d like that more but variety is the spice of life apparently.
Just for the nostalgia factor, this widget brings up a nice touch to your home screen. That alone makes this widget worth the asking price. The addition of a Snake game ups the ante for many users – we cant look at a game screen and a touch keypad at the same time but you may find it doable.
Apple Watch doesnt work. Was our only reason for purchasing the app. Cool widget, but the watch face was the enticing part.
This is a great Widget. Takes us back to the early times of the Nokia cell phones! If we can make a suggestion, can you make a setting to add 24u time instead of AM/PM? Also, even if we need to pay more, remove the Send from… On the SMS message? Thanks!! Update: Support by developer is outstanding! Another 5 stars!
The flickering issue has bee fixed.
Really enjoy the retro styling. Had one of these old phones and really enjoyed it at the time. Works well except signal strength, always shows full bars regardless. Otherwise very cool.
Retro Widget is just to show signal strength and battery and take up more real estate. Idk why we paid $2 for what is effectively a clock. Gimme snake! Gimme some cool old phone stuff!
