About Snake
Snake is a timeless arcade game. You control a snake that moves continuously around the grid; steer it to eat the food, and each bite makes it longer and adds to your score. The challenge grows with your length — the game ends if the snake hits a wall or runs into its own body. Use the arrow keys or WASD on desktop, swipe on mobile, and press space to pause. Your best score is saved locally on your device.
