I don't know why, but sometimes I find the in-built control keys in a game a bit awkward. It's a bit like riding a bike with the saddle set for someone a bit taller than yourself.

You may get to your destination eventually, but it's not a very comfortable ride. And that's the first thing I liked about this program: I could change the control keys.

I have seen a few of these snake games, and this is not very different. The object is to collect gold nuggets with the odd gemstone thrown in. Occasionally the blue snake on the screen drops an opal which, if you are quick enough, is yours for the taking. Initially, there are four snakes, besides the blue one, on the screen, but the number increases to eight as the game progresses. Because the other snakes are surrounded by the gold nuggets you have to avoid releasing them, but of course the blue snake will.

Action is quite smooth, and the game not as easy as it first appears. Although I didn't find it addictive I could certainly while away a couple of hours playing Adder Attack.
