In terms of gameplay, visual design, controls, and concept, Snake Run Race・3D Running Game is just another title in the virtually endless hyper-casual running games like
Mob Control
,
Twerk Race 3D
, or
SnowBall Race
to an extent.
Breed the largest snake ever
Right off the bat, Snake Run Race・3D Running Game already feels unoriginal, especially for those who have tried any of these
casual running games
. It doesn’t even adopt the 2D space control of the classic snake games, where you move up and down chasing food. Here, the snake
only moves forward
, and your only controls are toward the left and the right.
Aside from the
simplified gameplay
approach, the same similarities can be drawn about its visuals. It’s worth noting, however, that its basic and brightly colored designs are a tried-and-tested formula for casual games. They are easy on the eyes, and the
elements are easily distinguishable
. This is helpful in winning the game and pointing out what items to grab and what to avoid.
Lastly, the game is
filled with ads
. Also, like most games in this particular genre, it feels like a quick cash grab. Every round, you get ads. If you fail in an attempt, you get ads. Aside from the main game, the rest of the experience is spent trying to watch or close ads. However, the optimization in this app warrants recognition. It runs smoothly, with virtually
no lags.
Casual and unoriginal
Overall, Snake Run Race・3D Running Game is a snake game in name only. It’s much closer to the
casual runner games
flooding the mobile games market. If you’ve played any of these games before, requiring you to
get powerups
and avoid obstacles, then the similarities are found everywhere. Still, it caters to a specific niche of players, passing for an enjoyable experience.
