From the start of a round
- 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.
How your actions work
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example to follow
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
