How to play
Snake is a coloured version of the classic arcade game. You steer a snake around the play area, and the goal is to keep it moving and growing without running into trouble. The developer says this is an HTML5 arcade game, so it runs in a browser window.
The idea is simple to grasp and takes a while to master, because the longer your snake gets, the less room you have to move and the more careful each turn becomes. Steering is the whole job. Every move changes the shape of the snake and the space left around it.
Controls explained
Use the move control to steer the snake. The game lists its control simply as move, so keep your input short and deliberate rather than holding it down. A single direction change at a time keeps the snake’s path predictable.
Small adjustments work better than big sweeping turns. Nudge the snake one way, then the other, and watch how the body follows behind the head. The snake only goes where you send it.
Tips
- Look at the open space ahead of the head, not at the tail behind it.
- Change direction one step at a time so you do not overshoot a gap.
- Keep the snake near the middle of the play area when you can, since edges limit your options.
- Slow your decisions down as the snake grows, because a longer body leaves fewer safe routes.
- Plan a rough path before you move, then follow it until the snake reaches open space again.
