Snake

Press Play or choose a direction with swipes, direction buttons, arrow keys, or WASD to start or resume. Eat the orange food and avoid your tail. Choose from five speeds, from Very relaxed to Very fast. Walls mode ends the run at the boundary; Wrap mode connects opposite edges. You cannot reverse directly into yourself. The game pauses when the page loses focus. A saved run resumes paused.

Plan a route with an exit

Food makes the snake longer, so the path that was safe a moment ago may now be occupied by your tail. Before turning toward food, look beyond it and leave space for your next two turns. Broad loops are easier to manage than tight zigzags. Steering directly backwards is ignored because it would send the head into the next body segment.

Learn the edges at a slower speed

Start with a relaxed speed and Walls to learn the timing. In Wrap mode, crossing the right edge brings the head back on the left; the same applies to the top and bottom. The tail can still block that landing square. Pause gives you a break during a run, and Leave returns to the lobby. Your saved run resumes paused, so you can check the board before moving. There is no Undo in Snake: a collision ends that run.

Questions players ask

What increases my score?

Each food eaten adds one point and one body segment. Speed changes the pace, not the value of a food.

Why was my reverse direction ignored?

You cannot turn directly back into your body. Turn through a perpendicular direction instead.

Will a saved run start moving immediately?

No. It resumes paused so you can inspect the board before pressing Play or choosing a direction.
