An introduction to playing Snake
Try Snake at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
An idea for your next attempt
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Making your moves
- 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.
How to use the controls
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example before you play
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
