Snake Game
Eat the red food, grow longer, and avoid hitting the walls or yourself. Speed increases every 5 foods. Arrow keys, WASD or swipe.
How to Use Snake Game
- Press an arrow key or swipe to start. The snake begins moving in the direction you choose. On mobile, swipe on the canvas to control it.
- Eat the food that appears. The red dot on the board is food. Guide the snake over it to grow longer and increase your score by one point per food item.
- Avoid the walls and your own tail. Hitting any edge of the board or crashing into your own body ends the game instantly.
- Try to beat your high score. Your best score is saved locally. As the snake gets longer, manoeuvring becomes trickier, testing your planning and reflexes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause the Snake game?
This version does not have a pause button; the game is designed for short, uninterrupted rounds. If you need to stop, simply close the tab; your high score remains saved.
Does the snake speed up as it gets longer?
No, the speed remains constant throughout the game to keep the challenge fair. The difficulty comes from the increasing length of the snake, which fills more of the board and makes tight turns riskier.
What happens if I refresh the page mid‑game?
The current game is lost, but your all‑time high score is preserved in the browser’s localStorage and will be displayed the next time you open the tool.
Is Snake Game free and private?
Yes — it is 100% free, needs no sign‑up, and everything runs in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
