Your guide to Snake
Take a moment with Snake before moving to another game. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Start here and follow along
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
Keyboard and screen controls
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A useful caution
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
