A little about Snake
Guide a pixel snake around a square board. Collect food, grow longer, and keep clear of the walls and your own tail.
How to play
- Press ▶ to start, then use the arrow keys or WASD on a keyboard. On a touchscreen, swipe across the board or use the direction buttons.
- Each food pixel makes the snake longer. Hitting a wall or your body ends the run.
- Press Space or the Pause button to take a break. Restart begins a fresh run.
What’s in this version
- 20 × 20 board with faster movement as your score increases.
- A locally saved best score when browser storage is available.
- Keyboard, swipe and on-screen direction controls.
A few helpful tips
- Leave room to turn as your tail grows.
- Avoid steering straight back into your previous direction; the game ignores that reversal.
