Snake
Eat. Grow. Don't bite yourself.
About Snake
Snake is the legendary arcade game that's been hooking players since the days of brick phones. Guide your snake around the board, gobble up food to grow longer, and rack up points — but the longer you get, the harder it is to avoid crashing into your own tail. Simple rules, escalating tension, and that 'one more run' pull that made it a classic. This version features smooth controls, gradually increasing speed, and a persistent high score so you always have something to beat.
How to play Snake
- 1Use arrow keys or WASD (or swipe on mobile) to steer the snake.
- 2Eat the glowing food to grow longer and score points.
- 3Avoid hitting the walls — the run ends instantly on impact.
- 4Don't run into your own body — the longer you get, the trickier it is.
- 5The snake speeds up as you score, so plan your path ahead.
Tips & strategy
- Hug the edges in a loop pattern to stay safe early on.
- Leave yourself an exit — never box your head into a dead end.
- In tight spots, follow your own tail; the space opens as it moves.
- Slow is smooth: avoid rapid double-taps that cause instant U-turns.
