About Snake
Snake is one of the oldest video game formulas still going strong — most people met it on Nokia phones in the late 1990s, but the concept dates back to arcade games of the 1970s. You steer an ever-growing snake around the board, eating food while avoiding the walls and your own lengthening tail.
Each piece of food is worth 10 points and adds a segment to your snake, so the game gets harder the better you do. This edition supports arrow keys, WASD and touch swipes, pauses with the spacebar and remembers your best score. Play snake online free right in the browser — no app required.
How to use Snake
- Steer the snake with the arrow keys or W A S D; on a touch screen, swipe in the direction you want to go.
- Guide the snake to the food — each piece scores 10 points and makes you one segment longer.
- Avoid the walls and your own tail; touching either ends the run.
- Press Space to pause or resume whenever you need a break.
- Keep eating to climb the score and set a new personal best.
