Its time to bring out everything you gained by playing 'Snake' in late 90's and early 2000. On your fathers or a relatives nokia phone when you played a 'Snake' game it was a fight to beat your own highest score. Before the gaming apps even existed we enjoyed gaming with snake on a monochrome handsets. It was most popular of its time but as they say old is gold, the graphics were black squares and you were limited to move in four directions. Taneli Armanto design engineer at nokia was responsible for 'Snake' father of mobile gaming. Even though available on computers in late 70's the mobile version was a big hit, when it was launched in 1997 on a nokia 6110 model.
More than a decade later Armanto have partnered with Rumilus design a finland based gaming studio to give it a reboot. With monetizing a key feature in most games released via different app stores the rebooted 'Snake' will too have its share and ways to interest the customer. The first major step has already been taken by releasing the game on all three mobile platforms iOS, Android and Windows on same day. With 'Snake' concept already out their with numerous clones and only few handful of games have really garnered a fan base its a wait and watch whether it will build a fan base or will remain in stores.
