Snake
The classic: steer a growing snake to the food without hitting the walls or yourself, and chase a high score.
Guide
Key points
- Each food is a point; the snake grows and speeds up.
- Hitting a wall or yourself ends the game.
- Space pauses, and the game pauses itself when you switch tabs.
How to play
- Press an arrow key (or W, A, S, D), or swipe the board, to start.
- Eat the red food to grow one segment and score a point.
- The snake gets a little faster with every bite.
- Hitting a wall or your own body ends the game. You can’t reverse straight back.
- Space (or P) pauses; switching tabs pauses automatically.
Survival tips
- Circling along the edges keeps your body from tangling.
- When you’re long, sweep the board in a zigzag to keep open space.
- Make sure you have a way out — often the path your tail just left — before turning toward food.
