How to play
Guide the snake to the food. Each bite makes it one segment longer and adds a point — but the board never gets bigger, so a long snake is its own worst enemy. You're out the moment the head touches a wall or any part of the body. Every few bites the snake moves a little faster, so late-game is a test of nerve. Press space to pause.
Tips for a high score
Don't chase the food in a straight panic — plan a route that keeps open space behind you. A good habit is to travel the edges in a spiral and cut in for the food, so you never trap your own tail. When the snake is long, use the whole board and avoid boxing yourself into a corner.
