Just give it a try.  Controls are not perfect but it is a fun fast paced game.

Nibbler is a great game, one of my favorites. Whats wrong with the controls?

I guess the controls are as good as they could be.  It just seems like sometimes you hit a wall and it decides which way to turn for you.  Could just be that I did not spend enough time with it.

As a side note, if anyone is emulating the Apple ii (I had the iiC as a kid), find snakebyte!  Similar game.

The nibbler controls are supposed to go like that, it makes it harder so you have to keep moving without stopping and thinking about the best path to take

I like Super Glob and I'm Sorry.
Also like City Connection/Cruisin'

I just started playing Nibbler a few nights ago and it's very addictive.  

The trick to the controls (if you want to call it a trick) is that Nibbler will automatically choose a direction if he bumps into a corner.  If he bumps into a flat surface, he'll stay put and give you a moment to plan your next move.  Mastering this is absolutely critical if you want to survive beyond wave 10.

To illustrate (arrow is Nibbler):

________
     ---->|
             |
             |

In this situation, Nibbler will automatically turn downwards and keep moving.


           |
     --->|
           |

In this situation, Nibbler will sit as shown until you move him.  

EDIT:  I'll also add that a 4-way joystick really really helps in this game.  I tried with an 8-way and found it unplayable.

I saw someone mentioned Wacko. I finally got a chance to play this game on its dedicated cabinet and controls this weekend. I really like this game. Its fun and a challenge.
