Guest Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Snake VS Snake is currently on sale for £1.31 with PS Plus discount. Gave it a go, was surprised to see it is currently a Rare Platinum. I used to love playing Snake on an old Nokia brick as a kid, Anyway... The only remotely challenging part of this Platinum is the hardcore mode. Complete the 19 levels which finishes in a boss fight with only 3 lives to do so. Well I died in the later levels a few times, on one I quit, I then noticed the game allowed me to continue from that attempt with the life intact as I did not die before quitting (I missed an apple, knew it was blocked so quit). Therefore you can play hardcore mode with your finger over the pause (Options) button, if you miss an apple or make a wrong turn quit and then continue. You start at the beginning of that level again with your lives intact. If you die the life is gone so this method is for simple mistakes. You will not keep the life if you quit as you died. It's for if you missed an apple or a key and know you can't finish the level but have not actually died yet. Alternatively cloud saves work. I made a cloud save before the boss fight. It's a very easy boss fight but I died and the cloud save was the smart move so I didn't have to complete the 18 levels to get to it again. So you can use the cloud to essentially give you unlimited attempts at any particular level. My impatience for the Platinum lead me to this method. Me as a 10 year old would have played this for days lol. The game itself is great, rated it 5 stars. 100% worth playing especially at the current price. Hope this is useful to anyone who just wants to grab the Platinum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucibur Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I'm giving the game a go now that I'm done with Sleeping Dogs, Endless Mode seems fun so far. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's good fun. If you enjoy this game overall there's others on the store like Classic Snake Adventures & Snakeybus that are worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to turn off the sound as it was getting to the point that it was going to drive me insane. Other than that it's fun. Getting to a length of 100 in Endless Mode is taking the piss currently though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try to just hug your snake up and down the screen leaving enough space at the bottom to go around and repeat the pattern. Use the D-Pad not the analog stick. The apples keep appearing in endless mode so I'd imagine you'll eventually eat enough to hit the score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucibur Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I managed to get the length of 100 in Endless Mode and Hardcore Speedrun done, just got the annoying Hardcore boss level next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
