Slithering Assassin - Snake vs Snake
Screenshots
Slithering Assassin - Snake vs Snake is a free indie game based on the old Nokia Snake game, with a twist. In this game, you not only have to collect pellets to grow your snake, but you also have to avoid being caught by an enemy snake. The game mechanics are similar to Pacman, where you have to outsmart your pursuer while trying to collect as many pellets as possible. However, the game falls short of greatness as it lacks the depth and excitement of a true Pacman-style game.
One of the pros of Slithering Assassin - Snake vs Snake is that it is free and reminiscent of the old Snake game. The game also provides in-game objects that allow you to escape from the predator snake, adding an element of strategy. Additionally, the game explains what the pellets do, making it easier for players to understand the mechanics. Another positive aspect is that the game is not a never-ending game, as the enemy snake is destructible.
On the downside, getting the game to load on multi-core devices can be tricky. Additionally, in order to win against the enemy snake, you need to find the invulnerability pellet, which can sometimes be difficult to obtain. There is also no incentive to grow your snake, as it does not provide any advantages. Lastly, the enemy snake seems to be invulnerable, which can be frustrating for players.
Overall, Slithering Assassin - Snake vs Snake is an enjoyable free game that brings back memories of the old Snake game. However, it lacks the depth and excitement of a true Pacman-style game. If you're looking for a simple game to pass the time, this might be worth a try.
