How to play
- Start the game, then steer with arrow keys or WASD while the board is focused. On mobile, tap the direction pad below the board.
- Eat the round food to grow and earn 10 points. Each bite makes the snake faster, up to a fixed speed limit.
- Avoid the walls and your own body. You cannot reverse directly into yourself; up to two turns can be queued.
- Use Pause / Resume, or press Space on the board. Leaving the tab or window automatically pauses play. Resume when you return.
- Restart begins a fresh run. Fill the entire board to win.
