The action of this game is similar to the Pacman in that you gobble up various objects to gain points, and that's where the similarity ends.

If you have a version of wriggling, squirming things then go and play something else, this is not for you! For the objects your friendly little characters are eating are snake eggs, and waiting in little nests for the eggs to be eaten are snakes.

As soon as the eggs bounding the nest are eaten, the snakes are free to wriggle their way realistically round the screen after your little friend. On the snakes' side is Red snake, which eats up eggs as well.

If you can survive the first round without being eaten then you can get your revenge by eating the snakes! Altogether, a fascinating and addictive game, if you don't mind snakes.
