Snake Game

The timeless snake game: guide a hungry snake around the board, eat the fruit and grow a little longer with every bite. The longer you get, the faster it goes.

How to play Snake Game

• The snake moves on its own. You only choose which way it turns.
• Eat the red fruit to grow by one segment and score points. Every five fruit you reach a new level and the snake speeds up.
• Every so often a gold star appears for a short time. Grab it before its ring runs out for a big bonus.
• In Walls mode, hitting the edge ends the game. In Wrap-around mode you come out on the opposite side instead.
• Running into your own body always ends the game. Fill the whole board to win.

Controls

• Keyboard: arrow keys or W A S D to turn, Space to start, P or Esc to pause.
• Touch: swipe anywhere on the board (you can keep your finger down and swipe again), or turn on the D-pad from the toolbar.
• Quick double turns are buffered, so tapping Up then Left fast makes a tight U-turn instead of losing a key press.

Tips

• Hug the walls early on and leave the middle open; you will need room once the snake is long.
• Plan your route to the fruit so you never box yourself into a dead end.
• Wrap-around mode is more forgiving, so it is a good place to practice higher speeds.

FAQ

Is my best score saved?

Yes. Your best score for each mode and speed is stored on this device only, along with overall stats.

Can I pause and come back later?

Press P or Esc to pause. If you leave the page mid-game, your run is saved and you can resume it next time.

Why did my turn not register?

You cannot reverse straight back into your own neck, so a turn opposite to your current direction is ignored.
