    You're a snake, that's a bird. 10/10 would puzzle again

    Eh... **** needs to know more, so here you go:
    well designed difficulty curve
    funky graphics
    even funkier soundtrack
    no hand holding, you learn through excellent game design

    I rate it bazillion out of 10

    The game has technical problems: I didn't get audio under Linux, full screen mode made other application crash, there is no controller support. These problems ruined the gaming experience so deeply that it is hard for me to express an opinion about gameplay.

    Don't get fooled by the cute looks. The puzzles are brutally difficult and challenging. It's the kind of game you can't stop thinking about after you stop playing. I'll get frustrated, but you'll soon be back for more. One of the best puzzle games ever.
    Hint: Think alot about the Snakebirds shape and direction.

You get Snakebird. The difficulty of this puzzler ramps up fast, but this is because each level presents new ideas. You can't play Snakebird on autopilot.

    Although there are a couple difficulty spikes, the difficulty itself comes less from complexity and more from the efficient arrangement of a tiny handful of elements. Levels can contain fruit, movable blocks, pairs of portals, or some combination of these, but never all at once, and usually in a very limited space.

    Some user reviews dunk on this game. They did not beat Snakebird, and thus their opinions are invalid. Also, the price is far lower than expected for a game of such high quality. A must-play for any puzzle gamer.    … Expand

    Simple and original Idea. Nice puzzle game. However, personally game didn't hook me up. didn't find in it anything overly interesting. But im not a puzzle gamer. If you like puzzles you should check it out 100%. If the idea seems interesting to you check it out. Otherwise, dont see anything special here

    Snakebird is not a good game.

    The idea of connecting the Nokia snake with gravity seems very interesting. Unfortunately, the design of this game doesn't explore the idea in a fulfilling way. Most puzzles in this game are more like arbitrary challenges than like exploration of ideas. The game is full of red herrings which makes the game much more difficult in a non-meaningful way.    Snakebird is not a good game.

    The graphics should emphasize the grid but they don't so they worked around this problem by letting you enable the grid overlay in the settings which is a joke. The graphical size of level exit is almost 3x3 but the gameplay size is only 1x1. In certain places, it's very hard to distinguish foreground from background.
    The stuff that you can click on to get an achievement is very meaningless content.

    You can move the snake using awsd, down/left/right arrows also work, but up arrow does not.
    You can't fullscreen the game on a secondary monitor on Windows.    … Expand

    So muss Leveldesign!
    Jedes Level ist einzigartig.
    Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist zwar recht hoch, aber das Spiel wird nie unfair. Außerdem ist es nicht linear. Man kann Level auslassen. Schöne Optik, einfache Steuerung und sehr clevere, schwierige Puzzles machen das Spiel zu einem Highlight für Fans von anspruchsvollen Puzzle Games Schade, das Teil 2 so verhaut wurde (gleiche Optik und    So muss Leveldesign!

    Snakebird is not for everyone. But for those puzzle-lovers out there seeking the ultimate challenge, definitely give Snakebird a shot. You might be surprised by how often this game will leave you stumped, but that just makes the feeling of overcoming challenges so much sweeter!
