About this game

SnakeWinder is an adaptation of Snakes and Ladders board game, where two players (human and AI) need to move the chip from a start of serpentine road to its finish. The task of the human is to reach the finish, the task of AI is to do not allow this. The road is a polygonal path with vertices of different kinds. Most of them are normal without any effect, but some of them are Ladders advancing the chip several steps further or Snakes throwing it several steps back. The players by turns choose the number of steps and move the chip by the road's vertices. Reaching the road's finish, the player is transferred to the next level. The game contains 10 levels with different backgrounds for the serpentine road, a limited number of steps to be selected from, and a highest score for each level.

There are two modes: for Child and for Adult. In "for Child" mode the steps selection is achieved through one of four ways: roulette, dices, digital ruler or shooting the balls. In "for Adult" mode the steps are simply typed in, but the AI's level is higher. The game may be saved in progress to restore it later.
