Use Arrow Keys or WASD to steer the snake. On mobile, use the on-screen D-pad buttons. Press P to pause and resume. The snake moves continuously — plan your turns ahead. You cannot reverse direction instantly.
Each apple eaten scores +10 points. The snake also speeds up slightly with each apple eaten, making later game much harder. Your high score is saved locally per speed setting. Try all 4 speed modes for a different challenge!
Don't just chase the apple — plan a path that doesn't trap you. Hug the walls to leave the center open. When the snake is long, move in a "snake" pattern across the board. Avoid cutting off your own escape routes early!
