Eat, grow, and don't bite your own tail.
About Snake
The arcade legend that started it all. Steer your snake around the board eating food — every bite makes you longer and a little faster. Crash into a wall or your own tail and it is game over. How long can you grow?
How to Play
Use arrow keys, WASD, or swipe to change direction. Eat the food to grow and score points. Avoid the walls and your own tail — speed increases as you grow!
💡 Tips & Strategy
Longevity in Snake is about space management, not speed of reaction. From the very first apple, adopt a pattern: hug the walls and sweep the board in rows like mowing a lawn. Patterned movement means your tail follows a predictable path and you almost never trap yourself.
Don't take the straight line to the food. Diagonal beelines feel efficient but leave your body sprawled through the middle of the board, cutting the space in half. Approach food along edges whenever possible.
As you grow past twenty segments, start thinking of the board as territory: always know where your tail's end is, because that's the space opening up next. A gap that looks closed is often about to open — and one that looks open can close in two moves.
In the endgame, follow your own tail deliberately, leaving a one-square buffer while you wait for food to spawn somewhere safe. Speed increases as you eat, so keep your inputs one step ahead: on high speeds, queue your next turn the moment the current one completes rather than waiting to see the result.
