Snood Receives An Update And Price Drop
October 16, 2009
EA's attempt at porting the classic Mac OS game Snood over to the iPhone and iPod touch may not have gone as smoothly as initially planned, but as we all know by now, app updates can sometimes heal wounds left by poor first attempts. Who knows, some of you hardcore Snood fans may actually grow to like this new version, maybe even love it; and what better way is there to entice you to give the game a second look after an update than with a price drop?
Snood is a puzzle game that has you launching a randomly-selected Snood into a playing field. The idea is to launch the Snood at other Snoods of the same color to match at least three of the same kind. If your shot is true, all connecting Snoods of that color will disappear and any Snoods left unattached will also drop down and disappear.
The iPhone version of Snood features both classic and enhanced Snood characters, and new gameplay modes. The single player mode includes Story, Classic, Time Attack, and Puzzle modes across varying difficulties. Multiplayer mode allows you to play head-to-head against a friend, or you can invite them to play later in Challenge Mode. The only problem with the multiplayer, at least for some, is that it relies heavily on Facebook.
The Snood update brings iPhone OS 2.0+ support, the ability to listen to your own music, and improved cannon physics when launching Snoods onto an opponent's screen. To top it off, Snood also sports a brand new icon.
Snood was launched at $3.99, but it has now received a permanent price drop to $2.99. If you are still interested in learning more about Snood, our own Matt Fox has an in-depth review available. And guess what one of his main issues was? The price!
