Great way to waste some time...

I first discovered this game on Facebook; (a friend put up a link) and I have been enjoying the game since. However, there is a lag issue, more so now than a week ago...I'm sure this is from the explosive popularity of the game, but the pc version is at times unplayable because of it. My son showed me this mobile version, his was on his phone and mine comes from the Amazon app store...
I enjoy having the game on my Kindle Fire tablet, it seems to work fine aside from a bit of lag, but I do wish I had known from the game description that you need to double tap the screen and KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE SCREEN to get a speed boost. This was NOT part of the game instructions. There actually WEREN'T any. Another thing is the fact that you don't get to choose your snakes color, but this is a small problem, and in time I'm sure this will change.
It is a bit more difficult to play the game by having to keep my fingertip on the screen as it makes it harder to see what's around me, but you can just tap the direction you want to go and that's where you'll go until you tap another direction...you're just more apt to run into someone else...
In all I find this an excellent way to waste some time, it's simple, it's fun, and it can be challenging. Definitely worth checking out.

Pretty fond of it but it's so laggy!

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018

I love this game and I've had it multiple times and I always have loved it just the way it is but I am asking u to add some music like different types of style music types mixed up like maybe rock and roll and then a classical music song. Just a suggestion to make the game more exciting. Oh and also I'd like to add that this game is one of the best of played BUT it also can sometimes get very VERY laggy. And on this game it makes me upset because if it does get laggy in addition it limits how well your able to play the game at a certain time. There are two minds of lagginess on this game and u need to fix both of them. Maybe if u watched other players or played the game yourself for awhile you would understand. So now I will name the two lags on the game. One is where u start out perfect and then out of the blue it just starts skipping all over the place and in addition to that it's hard to control where your slither is going!!!! The second one I'd like to mention too if I may. This one starts as soon as u start playing it skips but in a different way. Like the game is in some kind follower motion of skipping. So here is what happens. U start skipping as soon as u start and hmm how can I explain this... u start skipping as soon as u start and u skip then u stop for about 2 seconds. Then it happens again. And again. And again. And in addition to that it's also hard to control your slither.

It is okay. It's very fun but I wish that people could not make up rude nicknames. The 1 thing that I don't like about this game is also that you don't get all of the dots that you killed the snakes from which is a disappointment. I would not recommend this game for younger children from 3 to 5 years old. People make up rude nicknames and send that have cuss words in it. It is has very good Moving part of the game but it does not have a joystick it's very hard to move your little snake around but it's pretty fun you can make up a way that you can kill snakes it kind of it's not really killing though.It's more like if you run into them then they turn into dots. there's no blood in this game there is no guts there is some people that like Try to make you turn Into.by circling you but you wanna avoid them but you do it back to them.You can only have such a long name that it kind of ruins the game cause if you really want like a fun nickname then you can just like not be able to put it too long. You can not track anybody but you can share your scores on facebook or stuff like that.You can pick different skins to make your character look very amazing. You can have as many points as you want but I recommend not putting your real name you can cause people see that but unless you get on the scoreboard nobody but that not around you cannot see it. Thank you for reading my recording of this game I you know it is very long and I apologize for that I am sorry. Please tell me if you have any like different thoughts about that then I can put that out If you comment on this.Thank you for reading this again and have a wonderful day bye-bye!!

Fun game!

I am a mother of 3 children ages 9, 5 and 3). During the summer when my two oldest children are out of school I attempt to provide educational activities and books to keep the learning process going during the summer. This is not a learning activity but instead a fun game to play during the non education moments. My son who is 9 is the main one who plays this game and he absolutely loves it. I have tried a few times and can see how it can be addictive. There are a few main reasons why I let my child play this game.

1. It is a basic game that does not require a lot of extra add ins.
2. It is safe and I don't have to worry about what he will see.
3. He enjoys playing the game.

I use this game as an award for him to play when he has completed the task at hand. I would recommend giving this game a chance. Although it is basic it is an enjoyable game.
