It's Thursday, so let's have a think about the sort of thing we'd like to find today. I think I'd like to find an excellent iOS game, and then share it with all of you lovely people. So that's exactly what I'm going to do.
But which one to choose? Oh, how about an interesting twist on a template you might have seen before? Yeah sure, let's go for that one. But which one is it?
Well you're going to find out soon enough. As ever you can click the emboldened name of the game below to download it. That covers everything I think, so let's get on with this.
It's sort of a pun you see. Because snakes are basically all tail. But this is also the story of a particular snake. So tale, tail, it's all very clever. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't missed out on any joke potential.
Anyway, the game is all about guiding a coiling, slithering snake around a series of tight levels. But this isn't an action game, it's much more like a puzzler. Think sliding-block head scratchers meeting classic Nokia 5110 gameplay and you're about half way there.
It looks a bit shoddy in places, but there's a lovely thread of thinking here. A Snake's Tale is a game that gives you the space to have a consider about what to do next. And on the App Store that's getting pretty rare.
Everything is controlled with a single finger. You draw a path on the screen for your snake to follow. To start with you're just moving around small mazes. But then the game throws some new ideas in.
There are other snakes you need to shift around, and buttons you'll need to press. Things never get too heavy, but you are going to be tapping those reset buttons more often than when you started.
This is a really smart puzzler that does things a little differently. And in my humble opinion I think it's well worth your time and effort.
