The JAR and JAD are the Original Java ME Version for phones and emulators. How to install.
About
The keypad classic, rebuilt from scratch. Every apple makes the snake longer and a little faster, and every fifth apple spawns a fading gold star worth a big bonus. Choose Classic (deadly walls), Wrap (walls wrap around) or Maze (inner walls) on the title screen. Turns are buffered so quick double-taps are never lost.
Objective: Eat as many apples as possible without hitting yourself (or a wall in Classic and Maze modes).
Modes: Classic, Wrap, Maze
