About Snakes Ahoy

A version of the classic Snakes game, inspired by NIBBLES.BAS on the PC, where you direct the snake North, South, East or West to eat the apples and squeeze between the walls.

* Responsive touchscreen controls
* Fifteen increasingly tough and twisty levels
* Snake lengthens and speeds up with each apple eaten

Tested on T-Mobile Pulse and Google Nexus One; should work on any Android device (but let me know if it doesn't work on yours).

Instructions:
* Begin at the level 'Square One'
* Swipe Up/Down/Left/Right to direct your snake to the Apples
* Pull U-turns and Side-Steps by swiping in an L-shape without lifting your finger
* Complete the level by filling the bar at the top with Apples

I intend to continue adding new features and levels to Snakes Ahoy, so after completing it, keep it installed if you want to receive future updates :)

The Snakes Ahoy source code is available at https://github.com/Sam0ht/Snakes-Ahoy .

Note - The game loop is based on James Daniello's excellent Simple Java Android Game Loop ( http://blorb.tumblr.com/post/236799414/simple-java-android-game-loop ). Not derived from the Snakes sample application included in the Android SDK.

Levels should be longer and get faster. I find it a bit slow as it is.

This game is great fun. I don't like the swipe controls though. I think it'd be better to touch the left of the screen for left, top for up etc.

Very clever controls, great game.
