Snake

Steer a growing snake across a grid, collect food, and plan around your trail and the Gate or Orbit obstacles. The edges wrap, and each run keeps going until a collision.

World and Mission

A small star-serpent wakes inside a night grid. Each food spark adds another segment, turning every safe turn into the next spatial decision.

Each run rotates through Open, Gate, and Orbit board patterns. The visible route changes without hiding the rules, so a replay asks you to read the space again rather than repeat one memorized path.

How the Systems Work

The snake moves forward on a timed grid. Food adds a segment and points; movement speeds up as the run advances. The left, right, top, and bottom edges wrap to the opposite side.

Open runs have no obstacle cells. Gate and Orbit runs add visible blocked cells; hitting one or the snake's own trail ends the run. Food milestones settle a bonus immediately, then the endless run continues.

How to Play

  1. Use Arrow keys or WASD on desktop, the visible direction buttons on touch screens, or swipe across the board.
  2. Turn before the next cell arrives. A direct reverse turn is ignored, so plan a legal corner instead.
  3. Collect food to grow the snake and raise the score. There is no fixed food-count finish; milestone targets rise across runs.
  4. Use Retry for a fresh run. The local Best score remains in this browser.

Strategy Tips

  • Look beyond the current food and keep the next corner open.
  • A longer route can be safer when a direct turn would close your lane.
  • Treat Gate and Orbit obstacle cells as walls, and check the two cells beyond a turn before committing.
  • As the snake grows and movement speeds up, leave a wider turning lane.

Campaign and Difficulty Growth

Open, Gate, and Orbit patterns rotate between runs. Open has no blocked cells; Gate and Orbit place visible obstacles that change which turns remain available.

The snake grows with each food pickup, the pace rises as a run advances, and milestone targets increase on later runs. Each bonus is added when its target food is collected; play then continues.

Developer Design Note

Snake uses WeightPlay's own star-serpent, night-grid palette, food sparks, visible obstacle language, responsive shell, localized controls, immediate milestone feedback, and continuous survival loop.
