Remember Slither.io? The snake game updated to modern times, with a cut quite similar to Fortnite Battle Royale, but with the basic mechanics of a few years ago that managed to conquer half the Internet for months. It was a fad, but one that we greatly enjoyed. Now the folks at Voodoo want to power a new version called Snaker.io! A clear allusion to Slither.io, but without losing the original reference to the snake game from the first Nokia phones.We have tested it, and this is what we can tell you about it.
The same mechanics that hooked us
In Slither.io we controlled a worm or snake capable of growing exponentially if it was fed with different bright spots distributed throughout the map. Of course, its movements were much less schematic than the Snake game of the old Nokia. Well, Snaker.io doesn't change things too much so that, after a few seconds of starting we feel at home. And this has made us want to continue playing a few more minutes trying to grow.
As in Slither.io, Snaker.io! It is full of enemies. Of course, in this case they are controlled by the application itself, no playing against other players from the rest of the world. But it is the point of difficulty that draws attention and that hooks us in order to beat our own records or to be the winner of the game.That is, the last snake standing.
Tactics and a lot of skill
Again Snaker.io! proposes a game in which not only the one who eats the most wins, but the one who knows how to move the best. And who uses certain techniques to knock down enemies We talked about things like “encircling” to get the other snakes to get trapped in a circle formed by our own body. Or bankruptcy in extremis that prevents them from doing anything other than crashing into our tail. Different tactics, which help not only to get others out of the way, but to collect all those pumpkins that have been eaten and that allow us to grow.
Of course, we must not forget that we are fighting against the machine, so it is better not to try to reason like a human Something that It forces us to prepare for the impossible, and that no game is like the previous one. All completely random and more demanding than it may seem.So the bar is pretty high if you want to win the game.
In addition, Snaker.io! It is played with the mobile vertically Something that significantly cuts the space available to see the mapping and all the enemies that surround us. One more complication that will make us fail in the game more than we wish, ending our lives prematurely by colliding with other snakes with almost no reaction time. But it's part of the charm of this game.
Many skins but few game modes
To prevent the experience from being repetitive, or to invite us to continue playing minutes after having died a few times, Snaker.io! It has a good collection of collectibles. These are skins or aspects for the character we're driving, who starts out as a snake, but can be many other things.
These skins are unlocked by making our snake grow. In this way, if we surpass our own record, it is most likely that we will have a new shape or aspect. A dragon, a train, a spaceship. Always willing to get fat and big if we eat enough pumpkins.
That's right, don't ask for new game modes or variations to refresh the gameplay when you're tired of dodging other snakes or when you master The technique. At the moment that's all there is in Snaker.io!
Beware of permissions
That's right, Snaker.io! sin of abusive Undoubtedly, seeing that it lacks game modes, sound effects and has a lot of , it is clear to us that its mission is other than to entertain us.Get data, make us see, sneak into the most popular games... Keep it in mind if you finally decide to play a few games.
