Snakia is a NES game mimicking the experience of playing Snake II on those old Nokia phones. There's a small twist, though: you need to move your thumb to press the keypad buttons instead of directing the snake yourself (unless you enable the "Cheat" option, but why would you?)

Instructions

• Arrow keys move the thumb
• Z (or "A" on the console) presses the keypad button
• On the keypad, 2, 4, 6 and 8 act as directions, and 5 is used to select
• When controlling the snake, you can also use the diagonals (1, 3, 7, 9); it's somewhat easier that way (I used to play that way on my Nokia 2280)

Features

• 6 "mazes" (if an absence of a maze counts as a maze)
• 9 speed levels (which doubles as score multipliers)
• 6 random critters to eat (they spawn after eating every 5 fruits, last 20 ticks on screen, give 3x points + a bonus based on ticks left and don't cause the snake to grow)
• Cheat mode: if you are tired of controlling the snake indirectly, this makes the controls more direct (no diagonals, though)
• High scores: separate per maze and per cheats off/on

Changelog

• 2026/10/23: small bugfix update - previously, pressing "3" while moving down would cause an instant game over
