CNET Editors' review
This connect-the-critters game is reminiscent of Bust-A-Move and will captivate players of all ages. Similar to other puzzle games, the rules of Snood are simple, and the only computer skill needed is the ability to use a mouse. Connect three or more identical Snoods to make them disappear from the board. If you clear the board, you win. If the Snoods reach the bottom of the screen, you lose. Play is not time-limited. Add to that a nonviolent spirit and you will see why even little kids can play.
The game comes with levels from Child to Evil and includes a journey through levels, plus an intriguing puzzle mode, which varies the gameplay nicely. The ability to customize levels will retain your interest, and the registered version even offers a tournament mode, which lets you play against your friends. Any puzzle gamer would enjoy Snood.
Publisher's Description
From Word of Mouse Games:
Snood is a fun puzzle game that will test your intellect rather than your reflexes. Your goal is to free trapped Snoods by launching other Snoods at them. If you connect three or more Snoods, they will transport away. If that action leaves any Snoods not connected to the top of the playing field, they will fall to safety. Don't take too long, though; every Snood you launch increases the danger level. When the gauge fills up, the Snoods will shift downward.

"Fun game but this version is buggy"
Version: Snood 4.01
Pros
Fun, easy time waster. Great faces on the characters.
Cons
I had an old version on another Mac several years ago. It was great, no issues. This version seems to be buggy (crashes if I stop mid-game and put the lid of my laptop down) and slower and clunkier than the old version. Finally, you cannot link to the site to register and pay for the game. I'm wondering if the developer has let this go due to his lack of interest in continuing to develop the game.

Version: Snood 4.01
Pros
Challenging

Can't think of any.

"Fun, Simple, Challenging, but could use smoother action"
Version: Snood 4.01
Pros
Used an old version of Snood on the PC several years ago. Liked the game then, still do.
Cons
Mouse action of both the PC and MAC versions of Snood 4 seems very choppy and clunky compared to the old version I have played in the past.
Summary
In general, I would expect a game to improve from one version to the next. I am not sure this is the case with Snood 4. The play of the game hasn't changed much, but the mouse control seems to have gotten choppy & slow. Perhaps the designers did that to make the game more challenging. For me, it was just more frustrating. While I have paid for the PC version in the past, I haven't decided about the new version yet.
