How to Play Snake

Snake is one of the oldest and most beloved video games of all time. The rules are simple: you control a snake that moves around the board. Each time it eats a piece of food, it grows longer. Your goal is to make the snake as long as possible without crashing into the walls or into your own tail.

Controls

Desktop: Use the arrow keys (↑ ↓ ← →) to steer the snake.
Mobile: Swipe in the direction you want the snake to go.
Pause: Press Space to pause or resume.

Tips & Strategy

• Plan your path in advance — don't just react.
• Hug the walls early to maximize safe space.
• Avoid sharp turns when the snake is long.
• Try to keep the snake moving in a "zig-zag" pattern to cover more area efficiently.
• Once you're comfortable, try to reach a score of 50+.
