- Targets are worth the same amount of points no matter where you hit them. So don't aim for the bullseye; just hit it anywhere.

Submitted by yyr on Fri, 01/25/2019 - 11:00

This was originally posted to the yyrGames forums on Sep 02, 2009 at 10:06 pm, and was last updated in 2018.

The final version is 1.1.3, compiled on September 15th, 2015. (Changes to XBLIG are no longer possible.)

If you are not running the latest version of CardArcade, you will be informed that there is an update when you launch the game. Unlike retail and XBLA games, the update is not required to play, but it is strongly recommended that you update for the best experience.

You can check what version you have by looking in the bottom-left corner of the title screen. You will see the string "XBLIG VERSION x.x.x," where x.x.x is the version number you're currently running.

I waited long enough to do this. Here's a description of all 12 Goals, how to earn them and what gets unlocked.

Note: There are NO unlockables in Snake360 Lite. The below listed content is only available in the full version of Snake360.

1. "Cleared a Course" - Unlock: Course 4.
Clear any course on any difficulty.

2. "Two Down" - Unlock: Course 5.
Clear two courses on any difficulty. Note: it must be two DIFFERENT courses. Example: Course 1 on Easy and Course 2 on Normal.

3. "Got Three" - Unlock: Course 6.
Clear three courses on any difficulty. Note: it must be three DIFFERENT courses.

Snake360: Understanding the Clear Rate

Submitted by yyr on Thu, 01/24/2019 - 17:46

Here is the formula for Clear Rate:
Not Played = 0. Not Cleared = 1. Cleared = 3. Extra Reached = 4. Perfect = 5.
The percentage represents your total Clear Rate score divided by the maximum possible (5 for each course).

Snake360: General strategy tips

1. Don't give up. Yes, it is possible to Perfect Clear everything in the game. It's just not easy.

2. The first things you need to master are the quick 180 and quick adjustment. Both involve making two quick turns in succession. Snake360 queues all valid movements automatically, so there is no need to wait between movements. You can input 2, 3, 4 or even more movements one after another, and they'll all process in the order you pressed them.
