Grow the snake, don't crash

Steer the snake to eat and grow without crashing.

Why Snake never gets old

Snake is one of the most enduring video games ever, famous from early mobile phones, and its longevity comes from a beautifully self-balancing design: the better you do, the harder it gets, because every bit of food makes the snake longer, and a longer snake fills more of the screen and leaves less room to manoeuvre. This means the game naturally escalates in difficulty from your own success, with no need for levels — eventually your own lengthy body becomes the main obstacle, and threading through the space you have left demands real planning. The strategy that emerges is to move efficiently and think ahead about where your tail will be, rather than chasing food carelessly into a corner. It is the perfect pick-up game: instantly understood, needing no instructions, yet offering a genuine escalating challenge and the simple satisfaction of beating your last score. Snake's elegant simplicity is exactly why it has entertained people for decades and remains as playable as ever.
