Citysnake allows residents of rival cities to collaboratively compete against each other in a game of Pong. The game is played in the same fashion as the original, but the time, scale, and way in which the players participate is different. In a game of Citysnake, players move their respective city's paddles by voting which direction to move the paddle. The voting takes place online or by text messaging a number found on a projected building-side gamescreen.
