Snake — Play Free Online

About Snake

Snake is the game that lived on every Nokia. You steer a snake around a rectangle, eat the food that appears, and every meal makes the snake one segment longer. The walls and your own tail end the game. There is nothing else to it, and that is why it has lasted.

This browser version keeps the classic rules and adds a clean look and a speed that rises as you grow.

How to Play Snake

1. Press Play and the snake starts moving.
2. Turn it toward the food.
3. Eat to grow and score.
4. Avoid the walls and your own body for as long as you can.

Controls

• Arrow keys or WASD: change direction.
• Touch: swipe in the direction you want to go.
• Space: pause.

Tips and Tricks

• Move in long lines along the edges and leave the middle open.
• Never reverse directly; a 180-degree turn is the fastest way to bite yourself.
• When the snake is long, sweep in a pattern rather than chasing food.
• Look at where your tail will be, not where it is.
