Snake Game
Play classic Snake with swipe or arrow-key controls, speed levels, and a best score saved on your device — no account, no sign-in.
This works right here on your device — nothing gets sent out.
Click the board, then use arrow keys or WASD — or tap the arrows above, or swipe on the board — to move. Space pauses.
How it works
- Pick a speed level — Slow, Medium, or Fast — from the dropdown above the board.
- Click the board, then press an arrow key, a WASD key, swipe on the board, or tap an on-screen arrow to start moving; the snake keeps going in that direction until you steer it elsewhere.
- Guide the snake onto the red square to eat it — each one adds 10 points and grows the snake by one segment.
- Avoid the walls and your own tail. Hitting either ends the run — press New Game (or the reset button) to try again.
Speed levels
| Level | Moves per second |
|---|---|
| Slow | 6 |
| Medium | 10 |
| Fast | 15 |
FAQ
What do the speed levels change?
Slow, Medium, and Fast set how often the snake moves — about 6, 10, and 15 times a second. Pick one from the dropdown above the board; changing it starts a fresh game at that pace.
How do I control the snake?
Click the board, then use the arrow keys or WASD. On a touchscreen, swipe on the board in the direction you want to go, or tap the on-screen arrows below it — all three control the same snake.
Does the snake wrap around the edges?
No. Hitting a wall ends the run, same as hitting your own tail — classic rules, no wraparound to the opposite side.
Can I pause mid-game?
Yes — press Space or the pause button in the on-screen controls. The snake stops until you resume; steering it again also resumes automatically.
Is my best score saved?
Yes — "Best" is saved in your browser's local storage on this device, so it survives a reload or closing the tab. It never leaves your device, and clearing your browser data resets it.
