Play Snake online
Snake is a compact arcade game where every point makes the next point harder. Eating food extends your body, leaving less space to turn and making route planning more important as the board fills up.
This version supports keyboard and touch controls, six interface languages, adjustable board dimensions, and two boundary rules: solid walls for the traditional challenge or wrap mode for a more open run.
How to control Snake
- Desktop: use Arrow keys or WASD to steer
- Touch: use the on-screen direction pad
- Press Space or P to pause, and Enter to restart

Tips for a better run
Avoid tight loops early. Leave yourself an exit route before the snake becomes long.
Use the outer edges to organize long turns, but do not trap your head behind your own body.
On smaller boards, plan two or three turns ahead instead of chasing food directly.
Wrap mode changes safe routes dramatically—use edge crossings to escape crowded areas.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play Snake on mobile?
Yes. The game includes an on-screen direction pad designed for touch controls.
Can the snake pass through walls?
You can switch between solid-wall mode and wrap mode. In wrap mode, crossing one edge brings you in from the opposite side.
Can I change the board size?
Yes. Width and height can be adjusted from 8 to 24 cells, which changes both the pace and difficulty of a run.
