Review by  John Tysman Reviewed on 2004-11-22 Attention span: 9/10 I cant stop playing it. Controls: 10/10 Blink and you will miss it. Implementation: 10/10 New life to a classic game. Overall: 9/10 A great game with few problems. All too often a program is imitated too much, and most of the imitations are no different from each other. Tibbles is not one of these programs. Tibbles brings new life to a game I thought had reached the end of its improvablity (Is this a word?). Graphics wise, this program stands out from all the rest, using not dull lines and dots, but diamonds, balls and other 3d appearing objects. The only visual problem I encountered was the 'BUSY' indicator in the lower right corner which lights up when you are playing the game. When it comes to controls, Tibbles's response is perfect almost to a flaw, you'll be turning corners with this snake on a dime. The game shines on preferences-speed, randomized levels, starting lives, and you can choose at which level to start at from 23 different levels. Tibbles, of course, is based off of the classic game of "Nibbles." I first thought this was just another imitation, I soon found out new features like power-ups make Tibbles stand out from the rest. Other features I liked was the huge high score list and a counter in the corner which tells you how many games you have played. I foresee this game being around for a long time as the number one Nibbles variation. Over all, Tibbles impressed me very much. Sure, there are a few improvements yet to be made; the 'BUSY' indicator will probably vanish in the next version, and grayscale would be the icing on the cake. So, until my friend hits the 2nd-ESC-left-right-on key combination, I drop it one time too many, the batteries run out, it gets struck by lightning, or it spontaneously combusts (again), this game will remain on my calculator.
