How to play

Use the arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to steer your snake toward each piece of food. Every pellet makes your body longer, so plan turns ahead and leave yourself room to maneuver. The game ends when you hit a wall or your own tail — your goal is to survive as long as possible and beat your best score.

Tips and strategy
  • Keep your path open: stay away from the walls and your own tail, especially once you start getting long.
  • Plan two or three turns ahead instead of reacting to the food at the last second.
  • Loop around the outside edge early, then cut inward once the arena feels safe.
  • Don't chase food into a corner — a longer snake is worth less than a surviving one.
  • Use short, controlled turns rather than long straight runs that trap you.
About Snake

The grid, the food, the slowly lengthening tail. Snake remains the cleanest possible distillation of arcade tension, and this version keeps the formula honest while letting you focus on chasing a personal best. Each pellet swells your body and shrinks your margin for error, forcing planning around corners that used to be safe just a few seconds earlier. The minimalist visuals make every turn instantly readable, which is exactly what a high-score chase needs. A timeless browser arcade game for anyone who wants a focused, meditative test of forethought and finger discipline in short bursts.

Questions about Snake

How do I control the snake?

Use the arrow keys on desktop or swipe on mobile. The snake keeps moving in its current direction, so you steer it by changing direction one turn at a time.

What makes Snake get harder as I play?

Every food pellet lengthens your body, which shrinks your safe space and makes it easier to collide with your own tail or the walls.
