What players say

REVIEW #123 Nimble Quest --- I first heard of this arcade-style action title when I ran across it in the Google Play store, and when I found out years later that Nimble Quest had a PC release on Steam, I was both surprised and highly excited. This is a fun, retro-themed Snake clone that adds graphics and music that clearly hearken back to the 16-bit era of gaming, and the implementation of these aesthetic elements...

An interesting variation of snake, but there is no plot, or at least achievements, so there is no motivation to play
