Hi, this is Broken Thumbs Apps, a new iPhone app developer. We just released our first game into the iTunes app store, with more on the way soon. Details follow:

Do you remember the classic game Snake that you'd often play on your cell phone or calculator? "Snaked" is a takeoff of that classic game but with many improvements and refinements. In Snaked, instead of only 1 type of object there are three - for example, a green rat adds 1 length to your snake, a red rat adds 1 length plus puts your snake into reverse, and a gold rat adds 1 length but is worth double the points of a green rat. The quicker you eat the rats the more points you gain but be careful if you run into a wall or yourself -- its game over! In the end when you buy Snaked you are getting two games for the price of one. There are other Snake-like games out there, but ours features more customizable options and clean/stable gameplay.

Snaked gives you a lot of features for under a buck.

Includes:

* Two Games (Snaked and Classic)
* Local and Global Scores
* Three Speeds (slow, medium, fast)
* Three Choices of Controls (swipe, plus, tilt)
* Three Environments (Desert, Forest, Swamp)
* Two Objects (Rat and Apple)

Broken Thumbs Apps is committed to our fans. We want to know what we can do to make our games better.
