How to Play

Start the game, then steer the snake toward each piece of food. Every bite increases your score and length. The run ends when the snake reaches a wall or collides with itself.

Controls

• Desktop: Use the Arrow keys or W, A, S, and D to steer.
• Mobile: Swipe to change direction, or use the on-screen buttons.
• Start: Select Tap to Start before the snake begins moving.

Tips

• Plan a route around the board instead of chasing food in a straight line.
• Leave yourself an escape path as the snake gets longer.
• Use the edges carefully; they offer room but can become a trap.
