The iconic Snake game is being brought to smartphones by creator

The game has been absorbed into the ranks of gaming legend alongside titles like Tetris and modern franchises such as Grand Theft Auto. It became famous in its Nokia-created form but has actually existed since the late 1970s.
Creator Taneli Armanto is responsible for making the previously simple game a mainstream name though. It launched on Nokia’s classic 6110 phone in 1997 and used some innovative features of the handset, including the infrared link that allowed players on different phones to compete with each other.

The Guardian reports that Armanto worked for Nokia for 16 years, leaving in 2011. He has been operating freelance for the past few years and is now collaborating with developer Rumilus Design to bring his greatest hit to modern mobile platforms.
Snake Rewind will be launched on May 14 and will include high score leaderboards, power-ups, boosters, ten distinct levels and the ability to “rewind” the snake after you crash, according to The Verge. This may annoy players who prefer the true challenge of traditional Snake but could attract new players to the game.
It is expected to use a freemium model where the game is free to download and play but items can be purchased within the game. These will include boosters and item upgrades.

The Nokia version of Snake was loaded onto 400 million phones during its lifetime, rendering it one of the most successful games ever. It is still popular today and is often used as a simple game creation project by people learning how to code.
Snake Rewind will be available later this month on iOS and Android as well as Windows Phone. This will please users of the often neglected platform, seeing as the last ever Nokia phones ran Windows Phone 8.
