Snake — free online snake game

The arcade classic that came on every old phone. Eat the fruit, grow longer, and try not to run into a wall or your own tail. Three speeds, a blue bonus fruit worth five that vanishes fast, and a best score that sticks around. Free in your browser, swipe controls on a phone, arrow keys on a computer.

How to play

Swipe anywhere on the board to turn, or use the arrow buttons below it.
Eat the pink fruit to score a point and grow one segment longer.
The blue bonus fruit is worth five but disappears within a few seconds.
Hitting a wall or your own tail ends the game.
Pick Calm, Normal or Rush before you start. Space bar pauses.

Tips

Work the edges and keep the middle open. A snake coiled in the centre runs out of room fast.
Do not chase the bonus fruit across the board unless you have a clear path there and back.
Long snakes need planning two turns ahead, not one.
Start on Calm to build length, then move up. Rush is for short, high-risk runs.
