SNAKE ESCAPE - EINAR SAUKAS, JARROD BENTLEY, MMCM. NIRVANA.
SNAKE ESCAPE HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN DEVELOPMENT SO IT'S NICE TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION. THIS NEAT PUZZLE GAME IS BASED ON AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT BY TOMMY TUOVINEN. YOU CONTROL AN UNRETRACTABLE SNAKE WITH THE GOAL BEING TO REACH THE APPLE ON EACH STAGE. JARROD'S BICOLOUR GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING AND THE ANIMATED INTRO IS A TREAT. A LOT OF THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO LEVEL DESIGN AS YOU LEARN VITAL TECHNIQUES ONE BY ONE, IT STARTS EASY, GET'S YOU HOOKED THEN CHALLENGES YOU. FOR 128K USERS THERE'S A LOT OF AY TRACKS CRAMMED IN.
SO IN SUMMARY - GREAT GAMEPLAY, GRAPHICS, MUSIC AND DESIGN. THE ONLY NEGATIVE POINT IS THAT EARLY RELEASES HAD SOME BUGS BUT THEY WERE SOLVED QUICKLY. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY? SO GOOD I CAN'T EVEN RENDER IT PROPERLY! 5/5
