🐍 Snake Game Basics

Snake is one of the most iconic games ever created. Originally popular on Nokia phones in the late 1990s, the game has been reimagined countless times while keeping the same addictive core mechanic that made it a classic.

How to Play

The snake moves continuously in the direction it's facing.
Use arrow keys or swipe on mobile to change direction.
Eat the red food that appears on the board to grow longer and score points.
Each food eaten increases your score by 10 points.
The snake speeds up as you eat more food, making the game progressively harder.
The game ends if the snake hits a wall or its own body.

Strategy Tips

Stay near the centre of the board to give yourself more escape routes.
Avoid trapping yourself along the edges as your snake grows longer.
Plan your path two or three moves ahead, especially at higher speeds.
Use wide loops rather than tight turns to avoid running into your own tail.
