Abstract
This paper explores the attractiveness and sophistication of Snake game which originated as an arcade maze game and has been very popular for the decades on mobile phones platform. It presents an approach to find comfortable settings of Snake game by using game refinement theory. Basic AI is created for collecting the data instead of human in this research. The results obtained show the reason why Snake game has been so popular on mobile phones and people can feel entertaining and excited.
