The Return of the Pixelated Serpent

Hey retrogamer, are you ready to get bitten by nostalgia? Hold on to your mullet, we're about to jump into the past faster than a snake on a pile of pixels!

The Serpent that Conquered the World

Imagine yourself in the year 2000. You've just survived the millennium bug with as much style as a character from The Matrix (but less stylish, let's face it). And then, BAM! Nokia releases its 3310, the telephone equivalent of a tank covered in diamonds. But the real gem hidden in this indestructible brick? A little game called Snake, my friend.

• A concept so simple that even your hamster could play it (if it had thumbs, of course)

• More addictive than cat videos on the internet

• The only game that made you forget you had no social life

A Pixel Style That Still Makes Nostalgic People's Eyes Wet

Snake's pixel art was like Picasso decided to make art with Lego after getting really drunk:

• So minimalistic that even a Buddhist monk would find it excessive.

• Living proof that you don't need 4K to enjoy your race

• More iconic than MacGyver's mullet

The Evolution of a Classic: When the Snake Learns to Moonwalk

Over the years, Snake has transformed himself more often than a teenager in front of a mirror:

• Color versions (woah, calm down Picasso!)

• 3D variants (because why not make people seasick?)

• Boss fights (imagine fighting an iPhone, LOL)

Why We Keep Twiddling Our Snake (The Game, You Pigs!)

• Nostalgia: like finding your childhood comfort blanket, but less scary

• Challenge: Grandpa's "Dark Souls", but without the bad words

• Simplicity: no 50 GB update, just pure bliss

• Zen: Geek-level meditation, or how to reach nirvana by eating pixels

• Pride: Filling the screen = the equivalent of having reached the moon (for nerds)

The Return of the King: Snake is Back, Baby!

Today, Snake comes back strong like a boomerang thrown by Thor:

• Smartphone versions (for when you pretend to listen to your mother-in-law)

• Augmented Reality (play in your living room, butcher your toes on the furniture)

• Still as addictive (goodbye productivity, hello unemployment)

The Serpent's Legacy: From Consoles to Browsers

Snake hasn't just been confined to our Nokias. Like a true pixelated adventurer, he's snuck into just about every device with a screen:

• Game Boy: Black and green version, perfect for colorblind people and Matrix fans

• PC: With graphics so improved you could almost count the snake's scales (almost...)

• Home Consoles: Because nothing beats a good Snake on a 55-inch screen, right?

But Snake's influence doesn't stop there. This little game inspired a whole generation of developers, giving birth to clones and variations, each crazier than the last:

Slither.io: The Snake Who Took Steroids

Imagine Snake, but in battle royale mode and with graphics that make you not want to see an ophthalmologist anymore:

• Online Multiplayer: Compete against thousands of players, all as determined as you to become the ultimate snake

• Infinite Growth: The more you eat, the longer and more dangerous you become (just like in real life, right?)

• Crazy strategy: Surround your enemies, make them crash into you, become the Machiavelli of reptiles!

Slither.io has proven that the Snake concept can still be a hit in the age of online gaming. It's as if our good old pixelated snake suddenly decided to work out and sign up for Tinder.

And It's Not Over!

Snake's spirit continues to inspire game creators, giving birth to ever more original experiences:

• Snake VR: For those who really want to know what it's like to be a snake (without the hassle of having no arms)

• Educational Snake: Learn math by eating numbers, because education is important (even for snakes)

• Snake fitness: Move your body to control the snake, perfect for losing those pounds you accumulated playing... Snake

Ultimately, Snake is a bit like that cool old uncle who never really gets old. He adapts, evolves, but always keeps that addictive simplicity that made us fall in love with him more than 20 years ago. So, are you ready to fall back into the pixel-coils of this legendary reptile?

The PXL Heart Version: A Snake on Steroids and Red Bull!

At PXL Heart, we created our own version of Snake, because we like to live dangerously (and we had nothing better to do on a Tuesday night):

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Extreme mode not recommended for people with heart conditions, sane people, or anyone with any self-esteem:

• Random Bombs (because life is like a game of Snake: full of surprises that hit you in the face)

• A mix between Snake and Minesweeper (the fun equivalent of a kebab-sushi)

• 100% Guaranteed screams of rage to the attic player

So, are you ready to dig out your old Nokia or download our supercharged version that will put your brain through the centrifuge?

The game is only compatible with a computer and keyboard version (ZQSD)... sorry we are not good enough to make it retro and compatible with both your PC and your phone!
