Controls

  • Arrow keys or W A S D to change direction.
  • Swipe on touch screens, or use the on-screen directional pad.
  • Space or the Pause button pauses and resumes.

Tips & Strategy

  • Leave yourself an exit before entering a narrow gap.
  • Slow speed is best for building a very long snake.

Can I pause Snake?

Yes, press the Space bar or tap the Pause button at any time during a run.

Does the snake speed up?

Speed is set by the difficulty selector rather than increasing automatically, so the challenge stays predictable.
