Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the snake?
On desktop, use the arrow keys or WASD. On mobile, swipe in any direction on the board, or tap the on-screen D-pad below the board.
Is my best score saved?
Yes. Your best score is saved in your browser's local storage and persists between sessions on the same device. Clearing your browser data will reset it.
Does the game get harder?
Yes — the snake speeds up every 50 points you score, capping at a fast but playable speed. Combined with the snake getting longer, it gets challenging quickly.
Why did I lose?
Snake ends if you hit a wall or run into your own tail. Plan ahead, especially as your snake grows long enough to fill the board.
