Tilt Snake screen

 

TiltSnake aspires to old-fashioned retro goodness, down to a faux arcade cabinet that frames gameplay. You tilt your device to aim an ever-moving blue snake towards a green block you "eat" for points. With each hit, your snake grows longer. If your head hits any part of your body, you’re a goner...and that’s the whole game. Successive levels increase your size and speed, so TiltSnake’s pause feature is welcome. Accelerometer control is customizable to suit however you hold your device, but feels a little flaky in later, faster levels. We had inexplicable head-and-tail collisions.

THE BOTTOM LINE
A fun little diversion that could use more finesse and variety.
