Snake – steer the snake

Guide the snake around the board, gobble up the apples and grow as long as you can. The longer you get the faster it moves – but crash into the wall or your own tail and it is game over. Play with the keyboard, swipe, or the on-screen buttons.

How to play

Snake is one of the oldest and most loved arcade games. You control a snake that never stops moving. Steer it with the arrow keys or the WASD keys on a computer, and on a phone you can swipe across the board or tap the four buttons below it. The goal is simple: eat as many apples as you can. Every apple makes the snake one segment longer and adds a point to your score.

The catch is that the snake keeps growing, and it speeds up a little the longer it becomes. You lose the moment the head runs into a wall or into the snake's own body, so you have to plan your turns and leave yourself room to breathe. Choose between three speeds – Slow, Normal and Fast – depending on how big a challenge you want. Press the space bar or the pause button to take a break whenever you need one.

Your highest score is saved locally in your browser, so you always have a personal record to chase. A good tactic is to fill the board in neat rows rather than zig-zagging wildly, and to keep close to the edges so the open middle stays free for later. With a bit of practice you will soon smash your old record.
