Snood Original for Pc

I hoped it would be just as much fun as the old PC original. The characters are the same and mechanics pretty much are the same and the tapping to shoot is great. But the first few levels are good and that’s it!.. as soon as you ‘unlock easy mode’ it goes from fun to just stupid!... at first you see the laser or whatever show you exactly where the ball will go. A tad easy but still fun. The faces are decent size and game play is entertaining. But then after you have fun with the first 3 levels and get to ‘easy’ there is no laser pointer and the faces are considerably smaller. Making it harder to even guess where you’re pointing. With a PC and mouse arrow even with out the laser pointer it was easier than trying to use my finger on a tiny screen. I read a bad review and figured I’d try it. I also tried another one that is pretty different. Also called the app and it had a great review. Sadly I don’t have anything good to say about that one either. Over all I like this one better but it goes from fun and playable to difficult pretty quick. Maybe if I played an iPad version with a stylus it would be easier.

Why is this game so ugly. Not the graphics. Those are classic and take me back to playing the original. I mean the main menu. The interface. The awkwardly delayed sound effects. I get that it looks like an old game but it’s just an eyesore. I’m not going to complain about the fact that the game has payment options. Freemium is just a reality with mobile games. What I don’t understand is how the game goes about it. Having to unlock easy mode? Having to unlock standard features? Sure 10 games is nothing, but it is when I’m not having fun. I’m got bored on game three. It just wasn’t worth it. Knowing there’s a better, more fluid the app on the App Store with classic graphics as an option makes this whole game look like a collection of poor decisions. It’s as though they tried to create that classic game aesthetic by reminding you how crummy old games used to be. The thing is the old the app wasn’t crummy. It had charm. It was fun. This game is just intentionally gross design, obnoxious monetization, and a generally confusing mess. Why did you make it like this? Just, why?

I used to play the app obsessively on my Mac, and was really sad when it stopped working with a new OS update many years ago. They updated later, but couldn’t find my registration, so I gave it up. So I was really excited to see my old the app back. (The new version never really worked for me.) The good: It’s pretty much the same old the app. The bad: Controls don’t feel as precise somehow. Maybe it’s the size, maybe it’s the lack of a mouse, or maybe it’s that I no longer have tens of thousands of game’s worth of practice, but I’m not making the shots I used to. Also, there is a bit of a hair trigger, with it accidentally firing from time to time. The ugly: The pricing. I can pay $5, and I’ve still got an ad supported game. Wait, aren’t ad supported games usually free? Plus, you’ve not really purchased the game; you still have to get tokens to play. $5 just unlocks some game features. Pay another buck and you can disable ads. But still need tokens. What if you just want to own the game, like I did when I bought it back in the late 90’s for $15? It’s asking for $40. For a port from the 90’s? Seems a little high to me. It was a fun bit of nostalgia. But I quickly ran out of tokens, and it’s just not a $40 game. Worth a download, but the costs are too high.

I love this game. My grandparents used to play version 2.2.1W for hours on end, and the SFX bring me back. I understand that I'm a bit behind on the times, but the shoehorning of microtransactions into an arcade-style game from the nineties is an utter disappointment. And $40 for unlimited play? Are you mad? The full version of the app costed less than fifteen dollars on the PC, a platform on which games actually tended to cost that much! The free version was way less restrictive on there, too. The whole thing seems a bit unfinished, too. Puzzle is planned in a later update, which is fine. The aesthetic is all over the map, being a relic of times gone by being played on a modern screen with high-DPI. You got the classic blocky sprites next to stretched out textures and high-res Arial font. It feels like a flash game at some parts. The interface is not really optimized to be used on a mobile device. The "pow" sound when Snoods are eliminated is kinda off but I think this dates back to version 3. I would like more options, like the ability to disable the power-up Snoods. Obviously this review is a combination of issues and nitpickery. With the price dropped and a couple of things corrected this would be a really solid game.
