Ivan Galic of Nightirion let me know about his new Snake clone, Sleek ($1.99), being available in the App Store. Since we compared all the Snake clones in Battle of the Snake Clones and crowned Anaconda ($0.99) the winner, the App Store has seen two more added to the mix, Sleek and also Rattlesnake ($0.99).
How do the newcomers rate against the other snake clones I’ve played? Well, Rattlesnake is pretty good; the pacing is just right, but the controls aren’t as intuitive and responsive as Anaconda. I’d rate it not as good as Anaconda but better than iSnake.
Sleek, on the other hand, lives up to its name. The controls are very responsive and thanks to the smooth animation, looks good in the process of turning. The game features music, sound effects, and a high score board. I’d have to play Sleek more, but it looks like it may be my new favorite Snake clone. You can see a video of Sleek in action here (requires Quicktime to be installed.)
when you had the “battle of the snake clones”, anaconda was free, I don’t know about now though
