How do you play Snake online?

Steer the snake with the arrow keys, the W/A/S/D keys, a swipe gesture or the directional buttons on a touch screen. The snake moves constantly — you only change its direction. Collect apples: each one scores 10 points and makes the snake one segment longer.

When does a game of Snake end?

The game ends when the snake hits a wall of the board or its own tail. The longer the snake grows, the harder it is to avoid a collision. There are three game speeds to choose from — slow, normal and fast — and each has its own high-score leaderboard.
