Arcade / Snake

🐍 Snake

Steer the snake to eat apples and grow longer without hitting the walls or your own tail. Arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen buttons all work.

HOW TO PLAY

Snake

  1. Tap Start. The snake moves on its own.
  2. Turn with the arrow keys, a swipe or the buttons under the board.
  3. Eat apples to grow. Hitting a wall or your own tail ends the game.
HOW SCORING WORKS

The rules in detail

The board is 18 by 18 squares. The snake moves one square every 0.16 seconds, 8 milliseconds faster after every 5 apples, never faster than 0.08 seconds. Each apple adds one to your score and one square to the snake. Hitting a wall or your own body ends the game; you cannot reverse straight back into yourself. Up to three quick turns are remembered so fast combinations work. The game pauses when you switch tabs or press Space. Your best score is kept on this device.

Tips

  • Stay near the edges early and leave the middle open for later.
  • Plan your route to the apple so you never box yourself in.
  • On a phone, short swipes are faster than the buttons.
