Eat, grow, and leave yourself a path. Filling the board is the win.
01 — Story
Snake is a square board and a growing line. Each bite adds a point and a segment. A wall or your own body ends the run. Fill the board and you win.
Arrows or W A S D start the snake and turn it. A phone can swipe or use the on-screen arrows. Space pauses. You cannot reverse straight into yourself, so the turn has to be planned a square or two early. Slow, normal, and fast change only the pace.
Long zig-zags leave an escape lane. Chasing food into a corner is how long snakes lose. The best score stays in this browser, and the board scales to a small screen.
Turn before you need to, and do not take food that closes the only exit.
