Snake

About Snake

The timeless classic! Guide your snake around the screen eating food to grow longer. Avoid hitting the walls or your own tail — one wrong move and it's game over!

How to Play Snake

Use the arrow keys to steer your snake toward the food pellets. Each pellet you eat makes the snake grow longer and increases your score. The game ends when you collide with a wall or your own body. See how long you can survive!

History of Snake

Snake traces its roots back to the 1976 arcade game Blockade, but it exploded in popularity in 1998 when Nokia pre-installed it on millions of mobile phones worldwide. Suddenly everyone from students to executives was glued to their phone screens, guiding a pixelated snake around a tiny display. The concept is so perfectly balanced — simple to learn, impossible to master — that it has been reimagined hundreds of times across every platform imaginable. Our free browser version preserves that same addictive loop with smooth controls and instant play, no download required.

Tips & Tricks

• 1.Avoid chasing the food in a straight line — plan a curved path that keeps open space behind you.
• 2.Hug the walls early on to keep the center of the board free for maneuvering as you grow.
• 3.Never make a U-turn at high speed; you will almost always collide with your own tail.
• 4.When the snake gets long, treat the board in sections — spiral inward rather than random turns.
• 5.Watch your tail, not just the food. Most deaths are caused by forgetting where the tail ends.
