Your goal

Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins.

Step by step

1. Press Play to start the movement.
2. Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
4. Pause when needed or start a new round.

Controls

Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement.

A useful example

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck.

Watch out for this

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn.
