Master Strategy Guide

Space Management

Always keep an eye on the available space. Try to keep the snake’s tail in areas you’ve already cleared, so you don’t block your path as you grow.

Path Planning

As you grow longer, plan a circular or serpentine path that leaves you an escape route. Avoid tight corners that can trap you.

Speed Control

If the game allows adjusting speed, start slow to practice and increase as you improve. At higher speeds, focus on small, controlled movements rather than chasing the food recklessly.

The game ends if the snake hits the wall or its own body. Some versions allow the snake to wrap around the edges — check the game settings.

How can I pause the game?

Usually, pressing the 'P' key or clicking the pause button will pause the game. Check the specific version you’re playing for the exact control.

Does the snake’s speed increase as it grows?
