Snake
Eat the apples, grow longer and don’t hit the walls or your own tail. Runs entirely in your browser — no download, no sign-up.
Arrow keys or WASD to steer, Space to pause. Nothing leaves your device.
How Snake works
You steer a growing line of segments around a 20 × 20 board. Every apple you eat adds one segment and one point; running into a wall or into your own body ends the run. Each apple also makes the snake slightly faster, so the board gets tighter the longer you survive.
How to play
- Press Start, then steer with the arrow keys or W A S D on a keyboard.
- On a phone or tablet, swipe anywhere on the board or use the on-screen direction pad.
- Press Space (or Pause) to stop and continue at any time.
- Your best score is saved in this browser automatically.
A few tips
- Stay near the edges but leave yourself an exit — most runs end when the snake traps itself.
- Work in long horizontal sweeps instead of tight zig-zags; you cover more board per turn.
- When the snake is long, plan two moves ahead before you turn.
FAQ
How do I control the snake on a phone?
Swipe anywhere on the board, or use the on-screen direction pad that appears on touch devices.
Is my high score uploaded anywhere?
No. Your best score is stored in your own browser storage and never sent to a server.
Does the snake speed up?
Yes. Every three apples shorten the time between moves, so the game keeps getting faster until you crash.
