In Snake, you control a snake and try to eat as many apples as possible without colliding with yourself. With this free online minigame, you can escape everyday stress for a moment and enjoy simple, classic fun!
By the way, did you know that Snake originated in the 1970s as an arcade game? It became especially popular in the 1990s when it was pre-installed on Nokia phones.
Instructions
Controls: Use the W S A D keys on your keyboard or swipe gestures on a touchscreen device to control the direction of the snake.
Speed: Choose the speed using the slider. You can also change it during the game.
Gameplay: Guide the snake to the red apples to eat them and increase your score. Occasionally, golden apples appear for a short time that give you extra points. Make sure not to collide with the snake's own body, otherwise the game will end.
Score and Snake Length: The faster the snake moves, the more points you receive for every collected green apple or golden bonus apple. The snake grows by 1 meter with every apple, regardless of the selected speed. The goal of the game is to collect as many points as possible while keeping the snake as small as possible.
I updated the game with these features in March 2026. Send me a screenshot of your Game Over score together with your name or nickname and I will create a small high score list here.
Enjoy the game! ππ
