Snake, which was a part of the 1997-released Nokia 6110 phone, was the first game ever created exclusively for a mobile device. Taneli Armanto, a Finnish game designer who worked for Nokia, created Snake. The player controlled a snake that crawled around the screen collecting dots and avoiding obstacles in this straightforward but intriguing puzzle game. In the years that followed, many other Nokia phones incorporated the game Snake, which swiftly rose to the top of the list of all time’s most played mobile games.

Snake was not the first game played on a mobile device, though. Many other mobile phones featured basic built-in games like Tetris and Pong that could be played on monochrome displays before the Nokia 6110 was released. The early mobile games were far simpler and less complex than those found on specialized gaming consoles or personal computers.

Snake was a fairly straightforward game that became incredibly popular because to its simplicity and high replayability. The game was created so that it could be played on a small screen with only a few buttons, making a mobile device the ideal platform for it.

Snake was a game that came pre-installed on a variety of Nokia phones and was also downloadable for use on the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable.

One of the first mobile games to contribute to the foundation of the mobile gaming industry, Snake served as an inspiration for numerous other games that came after. The game can be downloaded from Google Play, and it is the first game in the history of hawal.
