Getting started with Snake
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Snake. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
The controls to know
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
