Slither.io

Agar.io kicked off the massive boom in .io games, where you compete against players across the world to become the biggest cell, or in the case of Slither.io, the biggest snake. Circle around smaller snakes to destroy them, absorb their remains, and become the longest snake in the arena. It’s way less gross than it sounds, we promise.

If you want some free cosmetics to use in-game, check out our Slither.io codes guide.

Snake games: Three screenshots from Snake 97 of snake being played on old mobile phones.

Snake ‘97

Another pick for fans of classic Snake is Snake ‘97, a mobile game that doesn’t just emulate the game, but also emulates the brick phones we used to play on as well. The developer came up with this idea when they had to switch back to an old phone of theirs while waiting on smartphone repairs, and realized that Snake was missing from our new devices. Experience the first two Snake games with their classic dot matrix displays and monotone sounds.

Snake games: A zoomed in screenshot from Gravity Noodle showing a pink snake with white and black bands trying to cross a rope bridge in the sky.

Gravity Noodle

Control your snake as it completes obstacle courses in the sky! As the name suggests, this noodle is fighting against gravity to stay firmly wrapped around the bridges and ladders in the clouds to avoid falling to its doom. Physics-based hilarity will ensue.
