Frequently asked questions
What are the controls for Snake on a laptop?
Use the arrow keys or WASD to change direction. On a touchscreen, swipe the direction you want to turn or tap the on-screen D-pad below the board.
What happens if Snake hits the wall or its own tail?
The run ends immediately if the snake touches a wall or any part of its own body. Each piece of food eaten adds length and raises the speed, so later stretches of a run move faster.
Can I play Snake on my phone, and is my score saved?
Yes, Snake works on touchscreens with swipe controls and an on-screen D-pad, no download needed. Your best score is saved on the device so it is there the next time you open the game.
Does the snake wrap around the edges of the screen?
No, the walls are solid in this version of Snake. Hitting any wall ends the run right away, so you need to turn before reaching the edge.
