Snake Game
Guide the snake around the board, eat to grow, and avoid the walls and your own tail.
What Is Snake Game?
Snake is a classic arcade game where you guide a constantly moving line around a grid, picking up food to grow longer while avoiding the walls and your own tail. Each piece of food eaten adds to your score and to the snake's length, which makes navigating the board progressively harder.
How to Play
- Move the snake using the arrow keys, WASD, swipes, or the on-screen arrows
- Guide the snake's head into the orange dot to eat and grow
- Avoid crossing the board edges or the snake's own body
- Pick a speed before starting, then try to beat your best score
Strategy Tips
- Leave yourself an escape route rather than boxing the snake into a corner
- Loop around the open edges of the board instead of cutting through the center early
- Slow down mentally as the snake gets longer since the safe space keeps shrinking
- Practice at a slower speed first, then increase it once turns feel natural
