The addictive premise of the game remains the same, but with a fun AR twist – You can now become the apple munching Snake! Snake at the zoo? Snake at the beach? Snake… on a plane? Now it’s all possible when Snake is on Facebook camera. Plus, with Facebook Live integration, it’s straightforward to broadcast gameplay live to the Facebook news feed, allowing friends to join the action.
The all new Snake Mask uses the front-facing camera of Nokia smartphones to allow you to turn yourself into the iconic Snake character. Snake Real World activates the rear facing camera.
To celebrate the release of the updated Nokia classic, comedian and YouTuber Matt Keck tested out Snake on Facebook camera. Matt has recreated his own viral hit, this time using the Snake Mask filter to show off the brilliant new features.

The camera effect can be accessed via the Facebook camera and is universally available, not just to Nokia smartphones. It is available on Android and iOS.
