A bright, smooth take on the classic snake game. Steer a cute glossy snake around the board, gobble bouncing fruit, and grow longer as the pace picks up. Play Classic with deadly walls or Wrap to slip through the edges.

How to play

Steer the snake to eat fruit. Each fruit is worth 10 points, makes the snake one segment longer, and speeds it up a little. In Classic mode, hitting a wall or your own body ends the run. In Wrap mode you pass through walls and come out the other side, so only your own body can stop you. Fill the whole board to win.

Controls

Arrow keys or WASD to turn, swipe on the board, or use the on-screen direction pad on touch devices. You can queue up to two quick turns, and the snake can't reverse into itself. P, Esc, or the pause button pauses the game.

Tips and strategy

  • The snake speeds up with every fruit until it hits a top speed, so plan routes early while the pace is still slow and forgiving.
  • Use the two-turn input buffer for tight U-turns: tap two directions quickly and both turns are applied on consecutive steps.
  • In Wrap mode, cut through an edge to reach fruit on the far side faster, since only your own body can end the run.
  • Fruit only appears on empty cells, so as the snake gets long, keep your body in tidy rows and leave one open lane to reach new fruit.

Snake FAQ

How is the score calculated in Snake?

Every fruit is worth 10 points and adds one segment to the snake. There are no other bonuses, so your score is simply the number of fruits eaten times 10.

Can you win Snake?

Yes. If the snake fills every cell of the 17 by 17 board so there is no room left for fruit, the game ends as a win.

What is the difference between Classic and Wrap mode in Snake?

In Classic mode, hitting a wall or your own body ends the run. In Wrap mode you pass through the walls and come out on the opposite side, so only your body can stop you. Your best score is saved separately for each mode.
