How To Play Snake

Last updated: February 13, 2026

Controls: use Arrow keys or WASD to move. Press SPACE to start or restart quickly after a game over.

Objective: eat food cubes to increase score and grow the snake. The game speed increases as your score grows.

Rules: this version uses wrap-around borders, so exiting one side enters from the opposite side. Colliding with your own body ends the run.

Tip: leave open lanes in the middle and use edge wrapping strategically to avoid trapping yourself at higher speeds.
