  3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
  4. Pause when needed or start a new round.

Making selections and moves

Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Put the rules into context

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Check this before moving on

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
