IGM writes: "One thing we always have to be wary of with any smartphone game is the use of the controls; I was worried that Hyper Snake would tarnish its retro-appeal through a bad control system. The developers could have vied for tilt, touch, or the underutilized iCADE, but fortunately, Hyper Snake‘s way of using the accelerometer is fantastic!"

John Bedford (Modojo): Bargains are nice, but free's even better! Here are four games that won't cost you a cent.
Toucharcade: Hyper Snake uses accelerometer tilt controls to steer the snake and there's no other control options. This will put some people off, but the tilt controls are really superb, with three different tilt configurations available depending on how you hold your device. I used the slightly-inclined setting and the tilts were totally responsive. It's easy to move slow and precisely, or to accelerate the snake rapidly.
