Snake

About this game

Snake is the timeless arcade game where you steer a snake into food and grow longer. The only rule is 'don't hit the walls or yourself' — but since every meal extends your body, you steadily become your own worst obstacle.

Each piece of food also nudges your speed up, so the margin for error shrinks as the run goes on. Folding a long body into a safe, repeatable route is the real strategic core of the game.

Eating several times in quick succession triggers a streak bonus here, which creates a genuine choice: play safe and survive, or take risks to chain. The simulation runs at a fixed 60Hz so it feels identical across devices.

Tips & strategy

• Once you're long, default to a loop that hugs the walls — it's much harder to trap yourself
• Decide your exit before you go for the food. Driving into a dead end is the single most common way to die
• The streak bonus only fires if you eat again quickly, so chase it only when the next food spawns nearby
• Always leave one cell of clearance when doubling back; cutting it fine goes wrong as the speed climbs
• In the fast late game, stop taking the shortest path and take the safe one instead
• Running along the walls keeps an escape lane open on the inside, which extends long runs
• If food spawns inside your own coil, loop around and collect it later rather than forcing a turn
