About Snake

Snake is one of the oldest arcade formats still worth playing: a single line that grows every time it succeeds, until success itself becomes the obstacle. Controls are four directions and nothing else.

Good players keep the snake near an edge and travel in tight, predictable loops rather than cutting across the middle of the board. Leaving yourself an exit route matters far more than reaching the next piece of food quickly.
