Hungry Snake 3D slithers onto mobiles

Mobile games have come a long way since the humble beginnings of Snake. But it's fair to say everyone's favourite reptilian chum has not enjoyed the same amount of revised editions and releases as many of his contemporaries.

The Italian-based DS Effects is looking to give nature's villain (and mobile gaming's genesis) another crack at the whip, however, with a new serpent-themed title called, simply, Hungry Snake 3D.

The game, like the original, sounds disarmingly simple: move your snake in four directions; collect the fruit; and avoid the edges, your tail and the bombs until all the levels are complete.

So, essentially it's the same as the original Snake but with flashier visuals, extra fruit and bombs. Still, that isn't necessarily a bad thing and based on its lineage alone (unofficial though it may be) we think this title is certainly deserving of further investigation.
