Common Questions About Snake

How does the speed increase work?

Every 5 food items you eat, the snake moves one step faster. There are 5 speed levels — from Slow to Blazing. Your high score is saved separately for each wall mode.

What does wall wrap-around mean?

With wrap-around ON, hitting a wall teleports the snake to the opposite side — making the game easier and allowing longer runs. Toggle it off for the classic hard mode.

Is my best score saved?

Yes — your best score is saved in your browser automatically and persists between sessions on the same device.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes — use the on-screen D-pad or swipe on the game canvas to control the snake on any touchscreen device.
