Snake
The timeless classic. Eat the food, grow longer, and don't crash into yourself. How long can you survive?
How to Play Snake
Snake is one of the most iconic arcade games ever made. Your goal is simple: guide the snake around the board to eat as much food as possible. Every piece of food you eat makes the snake one segment longer and adds a point to your score. The challenge grows with your tail — the longer the snake gets, the harder it is to avoid running into yourself or the walls.
Controls
- Arrow keys or WASD to change direction
- Swipe in any direction on mobile devices
- The snake moves continuously and speeds up as you score
Tips & Strategy
- Plan your path several moves ahead so you never trap yourself in a corner.
- Use the edges of the board to keep your tail organized instead of looping through the middle.
- Don't chase every piece of food — sometimes it's safer to wait for a better approach.
- As the snake speeds up, make small, deliberate turns rather than panicking.
