This number also acts as your high score, but to increase it greatly each playthrough, you’ll need to pass through the blocks with a star placed on them. While passing through blocks you’ll notice that the number in the top right corner will go up corresponding to the block you passed through. Doing those will net you a long healthy run to numb your mind while you pass the time. From there you slide across the viewport collecting the dots that will litter your screen and extend your snake while also trying to navigate, with as much luck as you can get, to the lowest number block on the screen to lose as few blocks as possible. After you’ve done those two things the snake will literally follow your finger wherever you place it on the screen. All you need to do is find a comfortable position to sit in and place one finger on the screen to control the snake. They’re randomly generated so each playthrough should set you up with new walls. Likewise with the blocks that you go through, once you hit a block, you need to clear whatever number is on the face of the blocks. The “snake” is comprised of dots and you gain however many the number represents each time you hit a numbered one. Snake VS Block, developed by Voodoo, is a game where you slide a “snake” across your screen collecting numbered additions and going through blocks to continue.

They’re generally Clash of Clans clones with the most recent abuser of this being the awful-looking Final Fantasy XV abomination in the app store or something else so bad I genuinely wonder if it actually exists. In my time covering mobile games, I usually won’t even bat an eye when I see one advertised. It’s for that reason and that reason only - and because somebody registered the Casual Gamer domain before we had a chance too - that every month we present to you a quick look at a mobile game that deserves your attention regardless of its place on the gaming spectrum. Many sleepless nights go by with our writers tossing and turning because they can’t write about the latest Farmville update. In hindsight, calling ourselves “Hardcore Gamer” pigeonholed what we could cover.
