How to play Snake
Steer the snake to eat the red apples. Every apple makes you longer and faster. Don't crash into your own body — or into the walls in Walls mode. In Wrap mode you pass through the edges and reappear on the opposite side.
Controls
- Keyboard: arrow keys or W A S D to turn, P or Esc to pause, Space / Enter to start.
- Touch: swipe anywhere on the board, or use the on-screen arrow pad.
- Quick turns are queued, so you can tap two directions in a row to make a tight U-turn — reversing straight into yourself is ignored.
Scoring
Apples are worth 10 points multiplied by the speed level. Every so often a golden star appears for a few seconds — grab it before its ring runs out for 5× points. Best scores are kept separately for each speed and mode.
Tips
Hug the edges early, keep the middle open, and avoid boxing yourself into a corner as the snake gets long.
