How to play Snake Arena
Slither around a big round arena, eat the glowing pellets to grow, and become the longest snake on the leaderboard. Sixteen computer snakes share the arena with you — some are peaceful foragers, others will try to cut you off.
The one rule
If your head touches another snake's body, you're out. The same goes for them: make a rival crash into your body and it bursts into a trail of food that you can gobble up. Touching the arena's outer wall is also fatal.
Controls
- Mouse: your snake turns toward the pointer. Hold the mouse button to boost.
- Touch: touch and drag where you want to go; use the ⚡ Boost button below the arena.
- Keyboard: ← / → turn, ↑ or Space boosts. P or Esc pauses.
Boost
Boosting almost doubles your speed but burns length — you leave a trail of small pellets behind you. Small snakes (under 30) can't boost.
Tips
Circle around a smaller snake to trap it, then wait for it to hit your body. Use the minimap in the corner to find big clusters of food from recent crashes. Your score is your final length.
