Snake — the classic snake game, online

About Neon Snake

Snake is one of the most famous mobile games ever. The idea could not be simpler — eat and grow — but every orb makes the next one harder to reach, because your own tail becomes the biggest obstacle on the board.

Neon Snake plays on an 18×18 grid with smooth movement and bright neon colours. Every orb is worth 10 points, with a bonus on every fifth orb, so a long, careful run always beats a fast, risky one.

How to play Neon Snake

1. Swipe to turn, or use the on-screen D-pad on a phone. On a computer, use the arrow keys or W A S D.
2. The snake keeps moving forward — you only choose when to turn.
3. Guide it to the glowing orbs to eat them.

Rules

• Every orb you eat makes the snake longer and adds to your score.
• Hit a wall or your own body and the game is over.
• The snake speeds up as it grows, and the longer you get, the less room you have — plan your path.

Tips to win

• Move along the edges and in wide loops instead of zig-zagging.
• Leave yourself an escape route before you grab an orb in a tight corner.
• Do not rush: a steady path beats a fast one.
