Nothing has launched a new widget that brings the classic Snake game to its phones. This widget is now available for download in India and can be accessed via the Play Store. Developed in collaboration with community members Rahul Janardhanan and Thomas Legendre, the Snake Game Widget aims to provide a nostalgic gaming experience directly on the home screen. Rahul Janardhanan has previously created widget concepts, while Thomas Legendre is known for his work on projects like Ear (web) and the Simone Glyph Game.

1. Get the Widget: The Snake Game Widget is available for download through the Nothing Community Widgets app on the Play Store. Once installed, add the widget to your home screen.
