Game objective
Guide the snake to food, grow its body, and avoid walls and self-collision.
Controls
- Swipe or directional controls: Change the snake's travel direction
How scoring works
Food eaten. The snake reaches a food item The head hits a wall or the snake's body
Core mechanics
- The snake advances one grid direction continuously, while an input changes the direction of its next movement step.
- Eating food adds score and extends the body, making the route left behind a growing collision obstacle.
- A turn cannot safely reverse the head into the following body segment, so routes need forward turning space.
Common failure causes
- Turning at the same moment the head reaches food can send the next step into a wall or body segment.
- Crossing the center repeatedly divides open space and leaves no continuous route for the longer body.
- Following food into a narrow pocket without an exit makes collision inevitable after the pickup.
How to recover a difficult position
When the center becomes crowded, stop taking the shortest food route and move into a wide perimeter circuit. Keep the head following open edge cells until the tail clears the blocked area, then approach food along a path with an obvious exit.
