I made Classic Snake because I loved playing it on my Commodore 64 back in the 80s. There were many versions of the game over the year and I wanted to keep the core of the game while giving options to fine tune according to a players liking.

Snake is a game concept from a simpler time. Easy to pick up, easy to get into, and easy to get lost in. Ive tried to retain that core flavour, while also letting you customise the game as you like.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
