How to play
- Eat the food. Every bite adds a segment to your tail and points to your score.
- Every fifth bite speeds you up a level and drops a bonus bug. Grab it before the countdown in the corner runs out.
- Don't bite your own tail. With walls on, the edge ends the game too. With no walls, you slip out one side and back in the other.

Play Snake online for free
This is a free browser version of Snake, the game that turned a generation of phones into handheld consoles. It runs on desktop and mobile with no download, no account and no ads, and it draws every frame as dots on a little green LCD.
Walls or no walls?
With walls on, the edge of the screen is as deadly as your own tail, so you have to plan your turns. With no walls, the screen wraps round: leave on the right and you come back on the left. The dotted border tells you which mode you are in, and each mode keeps its own best score.
How scoring works
Each bite is worth your current level, so a bite at level 6 scores 6 points. Every five bites the snake speeds up, up to level 9. Bonus bugs are worth between 6 and 15 times your level, and the sooner you reach one the more it pays. Your best scores are kept in your browser and never leave your device.
