How to play
Press an arrow key or WASD to start and steer. On a phone, swipe on the board or use the arrow pad. Each apple adds 10 points and one segment. Hitting a wall (in Solid walls mode) or your own body ends the game. Press Space to pause; the game also pauses if you switch tabs.
Modes
Solid walls is the classic version. Wrap-around lets you leave one side and appear on the opposite side, so the only danger is your own tail. The snake speeds up slightly as your score grows.
Tips
- Move along the edges and in long loops early on to keep the centre free.
- Don’t trap yourself in a corner – always keep an escape route.
- When the snake is long, follow a zigzag path that fills the board row by row.
- Press keys just before a turn; up to three turns are buffered.
