Frequently asked questions
How do I survive longer in Snake?
As the snake grows, follow a tidy sweeping pattern along the edges and avoid sharp turns in the middle. That lowers the risk of closing your tail on yourself and trapping yourself in a corner.
Why does the snake speed up over time?
The game speeds up a little with every piece of food. This makes the difficulty rise as the game goes on; the higher your score, the more your reflexes are tested.
Can I turn back and cross over myself?
No. The snake cannot instantly reverse direction — that move counts as a collision with your body. You can only turn to directions perpendicular to your current heading.
