- “It's an awesome game with amazing graphics.”
- “The graphics are amazing and I like the snake customization in the game.”

- “It was fun at first until I started noticing the glitching even though I was on strong Wi-Fi and had low graphics on; the controls are very sensitive and there is no option to adjust. Respawning takes forever just to show you what items you got, otherwise it 'was' okay.”
