Skinnable Snake - Current Version: 0.7.8f |
| Snake is a little skinnable game that's designed to be like the old Atari game or the ones on those Nokia phones. Snake is freeware, and you can get it at pogrelz.com. |

Gameplay |
| To play, select a difficulty from the main screen
and press the play button. Your snake will begin
moving once you press a directional arrow on your
keyboard. To eat the food, simply run over it
with the 'head' of the snake. When you eat, your
snake will grow and another piece of food will
appear. The objective is to NOT eat the walls or
the snake's body and get the highest score. The snake head notifier (an outline of the snake's head) will tell you where the head of the snake is so you can pause the game and forget your place (or be reminded of where you start ;)). Thank you to imtoomuch for suggesting this feature and many other great ideas you will see in this game. |

Installation and Removal of the Program and Skins |
| To install Snake, extract the files included in the zip to any directory you like. To remove Snake, delete the files that you extracted into the folder, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Nibbles\ in your registry and delete the entire "Nibbles" key (the second step isn't required though is recommended). Skins need to be installed to the \Skins\ folder. Simply delete to uninstall. |
