The game is a sequel of the 1998 ''[Snake](/source/Snake_(1998_video_game))'', for [Nokia 6110](/source/Nokia_6110). == Gameplay == ''Snake II'' gameplay is similar to ''[Snake](/source/Snake_(1998_video_game))''. The player controls a snake through the numbers of the cellphone. The goal is to collect as many orbs as possible. Every time the snake eats an orb, it increases its length. If the snake collides with itself or with the scenery, the game is over.{{cite news |last=Ali |first=Joe |date=30 December 2020 |title=Media Club: Remembering one of the greatest mobile games ever |access-date=23 March 2025 |website=[SB Nation](/source/SB_Nation) |url=https://www.sbnation.com/secret-base/22206091/snake-ii-nokia-3310-mobile-game |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250323201911/https://www.sbnation.com/secret-base/22206091/snake-ii-nokia-3310-mobile-game |archive-date=23 March 2025}} Differently from its predecessor, the main level doesn't end if the player collides with the boundaries of the map.
