Controls

⌨️ KeyboardSteer with the ← ↑ → ↓ arrow keys or W A S D. In single player, Space pauses.

📱 Phone and tabletSwipe anywhere in the direction you want to turn, or switch to the on-screen D-pad in Settings.

Your snake moves one cell at a time and never stops. You can queue two quick turns (for example down then left) to slip through tight gaps.

The rules

Eat food to grow. Red apples are worth 1 point. Golden stars are worth 5 but vanish after a few seconds.
Don't crash. Hitting a wall, your own body or another snake's body eliminates you.
Head-on collisions eliminate both snakes.
Trap rivals. If another snake runs into your body you earn a +10 kill bonus, and their body turns into food.
Win by being the last snake alive, or by having the highest score when the three-minute timer runs out. In the big arena you respawn, so the highest score after ten minutes wins.
Spawn shield: for the first three seconds (and after every respawn) your snake is protected and can't be killed.

Power-ups

In Arena, battle royale and power-up rooms, special pickups appear on the board. Each one lasts eight seconds.

👻 GhostPass straight through other snakes. You can still crash into walls and yourself.

×2 Double pointsEvery apple is worth twice as much.

🧲 MagnetAlso eats the food on the eight cells around your head.

Battle royale: the closing zone

Twenty seconds after the start, the edge of the arena turns red and the safe zone shrinks by one ring every four seconds. A dashed red line and a countdown warn you before each ring closes. Food left outside the zone disappears, and any snake whose head ends up outside is eliminated.

Tips to win

Stay away from the walls early. The middle of the board gives you escape routes.
Cut across a rival's path just ahead of their head to force a crash.
Grab Ghost before you dive into a crowded area, and Magnet when lots of food is clustered together.
In battle royale, move toward the centre before the countdown hits zero.
Long snakes are powerful but slow to turn around. Leave yourself space.
