![]() ![]() My non-gaming wife never had a Nokia in Japan like we did in Europe and didn’t have Snake in her pocket (dodgy sentence averted) like how we (you?) would play on the bus, in class, or on the lav – but she still knew the concept and played a variation of it somewhere. Source: PR I Got One Snake In My Pocket, And The Other Hand… It’s very comfortable to play in handheld mode, but because of the mass appeal both in terms of playing and spectating, it’s better in docked mode. Snakebird Complete does come across as a mobile-type game as it’s pretty basic, though it suits the Switch. Unlike the excellent Gubbins, which fiendishly penalises undos, you can do so for the time it takes to learn to fly. Restarting is a bit drastic as sometimes you can solve one of the many Snakebird Complete puzzles (which includes Snakebird and Snakebird Primer) almost perfectly, albeit making one cheeky little mistake.

How often have you heard ‘awesome’ about those most mundane things? I worked for someone who’d say someone’s efforts were phenomenal. That’s the structure for Snakebird Complete. Take one of the most universally appealing games of all time ( Snake), and translate that into an instantly playable puzzler with bright, cheery birdies to make it all so… fun. ![]()
