Snake is one of the most iconic and enduring video games of all time. Its origins trace back to the 1976 arcade game Blockade, but it became a global phenomenon with its inclusion on Nokia mobile phones in the late 1990s. The concept is brilliantly simple, yet endlessly engaging.
Players control a line which grows in length, with the line itself being the primary obstacle. The game's minimalist design and straightforward objective—eat and grow without crashing—have made it a timeless classic that has been ported to virtually every computer and console platform in existence.
How to Play & Pro Tips
- Control Your Snake: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to direct the snake around the play area.
- Eat the Food: Your main objective is to guide the snake to eat the food items that appear on the screen.
- Grow Longer: Each time the snake eats a piece of food, it will grow longer, making navigation more challenging.
- Avoid Collisions: The game ends if the snake crashes into the outer walls or runs into its own body. The longer you get, the harder this becomes!
- Master the Edges: Use the borders of the screen to your advantage. Running your snake along the edge is a safe way to travel long distances without risking a collision with yourself.
- Control Your Turns: Try to make wide, sweeping turns instead of sharp, sudden ones. This helps prevent you from accidentally boxing yourself in.
- Think Ahead: As your snake grows, always be thinking about your next few moves to avoid getting trapped.
