About the game
Snake is one of the most iconic arcade games. This version plays on a 20×20 board, speeds up as you grow and adds timed gold-star bonuses for extra points. Works with keyboard or swipe — no download needed.
How to play
- The snake keeps moving forward — you only steer it.
- Each red fruit is +10, makes you longer and faster.
- Every 5 fruits a timed gold star appears — the sooner you grab it, the more it’s worth.
- Hitting a wall or your own body ends the game.
Controls
Desktop: arrow keys or WASD. Mobile: swipe on the board. Press P to pause.
Tips for a high score
- Circle along the edges to keep open space for your tail.
- Plan turns a cell or two ahead — two quick turns are queued in order.
- If a gold star is too far away, let it go rather than trapping yourself.
