TL;DR
- A Redditor is building a new version of Snake for Galaxy Watch, and it already looks better than most Wear OS alternatives.
- Bezel controls and a circular playfield make it feel natural on a smartwatch.
- The game isn’t finished or publicly available yet, but it’s a promising proof of concept.
Like many of you, I’m old enough to remember when the Nokia 3210 was the phone to have, and Snake was the game everyone played. It was ultra simple and brutally addictive. As far as we’ve come with mobile gaming, it’s hard to match the nostalgia of those halcyon days, especially on a smartwatch.
That’s why a recent post on Reddit’s Galaxy Watch community caught our attention. A developer going by JackGrylls shared an early build of a Snake-style game made specifically for Galaxy Watch and Wear OS, aiming to bring back the feel of the old bezel-controlled version they remember from the Tizen days.
