Find your footing in Snake
Read the aim of Snake, then make your first move. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
A small practice goal
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
The playing sequence
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
The controls to know
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
A mistake to avoid
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
