There’s are a total of seven Snake clones, based on the classic video game, in the App Store. Which is the best one? Which one recreates the classic version the best? That’s what we’ll be taking a look at, and picking a winner; to see which of the seven available games is the best snake clone. Wikipedia describes the original classic:

Snake is a video game that came out in the late 1970s and has maintained popularity since then, becoming somewhat of a classic. The player controls a long, thin creature, resembling a snake, which roams around on a bordered plane, picking up food (or some other item), trying to avoid hitting its own tail or the “walls” that surround the playing area. Each time the snake eats a piece of food, its tail grows longer, making the game increasingly difficult. The user controls the direction of the snake’s head (up, down, left, or right), and the snake’s body follows. The player cannot stop the snake from moving while the game is in progress.

Here are the games we’ll be looking at:

• Anaconda (Free)
• iSnake ($0.99)
• Nibbles ($0.99)
• Omnomnom ($1.99)
• Serpents ($0.99 | Free Lite Version)
• Snake ($0.99)
• TiltSnake (Free)

The classic snake game gets an iPhone twist in Omnomnom. Like the original snake you’d play on DOS, you guide a snake around to eat food pellets, and with each food the snake grows longer. You have to avoid the walls and hitting your own tail.

Omnomnom mocks the old cellphone’s monochromatic graphics in this free and fun version of snake. Control is done by arrows on the screen. It works rather well, and while there’s not much to the game, it is free after all.
