Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How do I prevent trapping myself when the snake grows long?

Adopt the 'zigzag' or 'Hamiltonian cycle' sweeping pattern. Move in long serpentine S-curves across rows or columns, keeping your tail visible and avoiding enclosing open pockets of space.

Q What is the difference between Walled Mode and Wrap Mode?

In Walled mode, hitting any screen edge causes an instant game over. In Wrap mode, slithering off the right side of the screen causes the snake to emerge seamlessly from the left side.

Q Can I play with a game controller or mobile swipe?

Yes! The game natively supports keyboard arrows, WASD keys, gamepad D-pads, and mobile touchscreen swipe gestures.
