Neon Snake

ClassicArcade

Trail a glowing tail, eat to grow longer in this classic.

Arrow keys / WASD, swipe on mobile

How to play

  1. Use the arrow keys or WASD to steer the glowing snake; on mobile, swipe up, down, left, or right to turn.
  2. Eat the pink food to grow one segment longer and add 10 points to your score each time.
  3. Every fifth food spawns a gold bonus that only lasts 5 seconds. Grab it before the timer runs out for an instant 50 points.
  4. You can't reverse straight back into yourself, so plan your turns early and avoid steering into a dead end.
  5. Hitting a wall or your own body ends the run. Press space or the pause button to take a break whenever you need one.

Tips

  • Eating again within about 4.2 seconds builds a combo, so map out your path to the next food and keep the chain going.
  • A gold bonus is worth 50 points, the same as five regular foods, so make it your top priority before its 5-second gauge turns red.
  • The snake speeds up the more you eat, so once you're long, favor the open center over the edges to give yourself room to turn.
  • When your tail gets long, weave around the outside in steady loops to avoid boxing yourself in with your own body.
