Question 1

How do you play Snake?

Accepted Answer

Steer the snake with the arrow keys, WASD, or swipe gestures on mobile. Every time it eats a piece of food, it grows by one segment and your score goes up. The game ends if the snake runs into its own body, or into a wall if wall collisions are turned on.

Question 2

How does the snake speed up?

Accepted Answer

The snake automatically moves a little faster every time it eats food. There's no separate speed setting to fiddle with mid-game — the challenge naturally ramps up as you get longer.

Question 3

What happens when I hit a wall?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the Wall Mode setting. In Collide mode, hitting a wall ends the game, just like the classic version. In Wrap mode, the snake passes through the wall and reappears on the opposite side, so you only need to avoid your own body.

Question 4

Can I turn around instantly?

Accepted Answer

No — reversing directly into your own neck isn't allowed. If you're moving right, pressing left is ignored so you don't immediately crash into yourself. Any other direction change is applied right away.

Question 5

What do the difficulty levels change?

Accepted Answer

Easy, Normal, and Hard change how fast the snake moves at the start of the game. Regardless of difficulty, eating food keeps speeding things up from there.
