Snake

About Snake

Snake is the timeless arcade classic, remade to run instantly in any browser. Steer a hungry snake around the board to gobble up apples. Every apple makes your snake grow longer — and harder to control. See how long you can get without running into the walls or your own tail. Simple to learn, tricky to master, and endlessly replayable.
