Snood Original

I’m an original fan of this game, bought back when I was in high school in the late 90s and even still have and wear my SNOOD hoodie I got in 2002 or 03. Played it on my gameboy too. I didn’t realize they made this game for Mac and just bought it. Really am loving it as it’s pretty near identical to the original version. I saw it had an iPhone version and downloaded it, only to find my purchase doesn’t translate to the iOS version and you have to watch ads or pay to get tokens. I also noticed that your failure feels really forced. I don’t struggle to get the correct snood color on the Mac version like I have been on iOS. Feeling very cash grabby and I’m honestly disappointed. I’d love to play a mobile version of this but I’m not paying again (and more than what the Mac version costs) to play on my phone. Love snood, have always been a hardcore fan, but this was kind of a yikes and no thanks for me. Guess I’ll stick to playing in my Mac.

I loved this game back in ye olden days when it was developed for the PC/Mac. I want to keep loving it, but the version for iPad crashes and freezes WAY too often for it to be fun. Sometimes it freezes and never loads. Sometimes it crashes and quits in the middle of a game. Unfortunately, I paid for the ad-free version. It would be nice to think that the developers would return the favor by debugging what must be relatively simple coding. What a shame. UPDATE: The developers reached out to me, which was nice of them. I haven’t responded because I’ve figured out that this app does NOT like landscape mode. It’s been working fine as long as I keep my iPad upright. It would be nice if it also worked in landscape orientation, but at least now I don’t feel ripped off, and I’ve bumped up my review by 2 stars, to 4 stars.

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 snood 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.
