For anyone who got their mobile phone about 15 years ago, Snake was the one game you had and probably a pretty good memory for you. Did anyone ever manage to complete it and get that free phone? What a total blag – although this guy did manage to finish it.

Well, Snake is finally coming back to smartphones next week on Thursday 14th May. I’m not really sure why it hasn’t been available yet – I suppose because you can play way better games like Angry Birds, Candy Crush Saga and Paperboy – but the original creator of the game Taneli Armanto has teamed up with Finnish mobile game developers Rumilus Design to bring us Snake Rewind.

It will feature ten different levels with distinct visuals and music as well as different fruits to eat that will give you unique abilities. It will also allow you to rewind the snake after you’ve crashed. It sounds kind of like they’ve messed with the classic formula a bit too much, but because this dude created the original we can probably trust him to come up with a solid update.

Here’s what he had to say about it:

Snake Rewind takes the iconic elements and intuitive gameplay from the original Snake game and combines them with cool visual effects, sounds and innovative new features.

I’ll probably give it a download.
