Snake on 8 or simply Snake, is a free Windows 8 snake game app. The game play of this lightweight Windows 8 game app is just as the original, and that is to trying to eat up every food that appears in the bordered plane (playing area), and avoid hitting any of the border and it’s own body. The game is a casual video game, where you have to survive the longest and achieve the highest score possible. Sounds like just every other regular snakes game that you play in other gaming devices. However, the thing that makes this Windows 8 snake game different from others, is the playing board where you’ll play. The board actually moves while you play the game.

Gameplay of this Windows 8 snake game app:
Just like the original, this Windows 8 also stands up to the good gameplay mark. It has got a really good gameplay. There’s nothing too complicated and no sudden twists in the game. All you have to do is control the snake movements and eat the apples (which are dots) on the playing board, while avoiding hitting any border around the board or hitting itself.

The board continuously moves during the gameplay, giving it a 3D effect and making it a bit hard for you to survive and eat the apples. Still, once you get a hold of it, you are quite good to go. The game also saves the highest score achieved till the current time. And keeps showing it on the bottom right side of screen, and continuously reminds you of the target to achieve.
