Snake Game Guide
Play Snake online
Snake is a fast arcade game where every dot you collect makes your snake longer. The challenge is simple: keep moving, keep eating and avoid crashing into the walls or your own body.
The longer you survive, the harder the game becomes. Your snake grows with every point and the movement speed gradually increases, leaving less room and less time to react. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard before playing, with a separate best score for each difficulty.
How to play Snake
- Use the arrow keys or WASD on desktop.
- Use the on-screen arrow buttons or swipe across the board on mobile.
- Eat the pink dots to increase your score and grow longer.
- Avoid the walls and your own snake.
- The game becomes faster as your score increases.
- Press Space to pause or continue the game.
Snake strategy
Avoid trapping yourself near the edges of the board. As your snake becomes longer, leave open routes that let you turn safely and reach new food without surrounding yourself.
