• Strategy
  • This is a colored version of the classic pixelated food eating snake game. Like the old game, consuming food will gain you points and make the snake longer.
    • Collecting smaller food in the screen will earn you 10 points. Smaller food does not disappear on the screen until you get it. Once you consumer small food, a new one appears randomly on the screen.
    • Collecting larger food will earn you 25 points. Larger food appears randomly after you collect a few small foods. Larger food also disappear after a few seconds. So prioritize getting it before it’s gone.
  • The snake can be navigated to turn up, down, left or right. Controls are pretty much a clone of the classic snake game. Just select the direction and your snake will automatically follow.
  • Avoid colliding with any part of your snake and bumping to any wall on the screen. When food directly beside a wall time your turn accordingly so you won’t hit the wall.
  • The game gets harder as you earn more points and the snake grows longer.
    • A longer snake means it’s more prone to collision because it’s harder to maneuver.
    • A longer snake covers a larger portion of the screen. This will eventually force you to assume an outward coiling form so your snake has more surface area to pass through.
    • Practice making turns on your keyboard controls to help you maneuver with ease. It takes a while getting used to it. So the more you play, the better feel you have for the controls.
  • The points only add up in the Score counter. After you die and play again, you’ll notice the score does not go back to zero. To reset it, you can erase browser history so the counter goes back to zero per game.
  • Have fun playing this colored version of the classic snake game. Stay alive as long as possible to collect more points.
