Snake is the timeless arcade classic: guide a constantly-moving snake around the board to eat food, growing longer with every bite. Avoid crashing into the walls or your own tail for as long as possible.
Use the arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to steer the snake up, down, left, or right. Eating food makes the snake grow by one segment. The run ends if the snake hits a wall or itself — challenge a friend online to see who lasts longer.
Plan two or three moves ahead, and avoid trapping yourself in a pocket created by your own tail. Keep turns smooth and leave escape routes.
Snake traces back to the 1976 arcade game Blockade and became hugely popular when it shipped on mobile phones in the late 1990s.
