Classic: the Snake you know

Classic is the original game: steer the snake to the food, grow longer with every bite, and don't crash into the walls or your own tail. You choose how it plays.

Make it yours

• 7 speeds, from Very slow to Very fast. Hold a direction to speed up for a moment.
• 5 board sizes, from Tiny 7×7 to Huge 37×37, and 1, 3 or 5 pieces of food at a time.
• Walls on or off. With walls off, the snake comes out on the other side of the board.
• Peaceful mode: bumping into something only stops the snake, so young players can learn without losing.
• Bonus pickups (Shield, Ghost, Slow-mo, Magnet and Double points) and a life cycle, where a grown snake lays eggs that hatch into wild snakes, can each be turned on or off.

A full board

When only 3 empty cells are left, your snake has reached its longest. It stops growing, and each piece of food you eat comes back 4 seconds later, so you can keep scoring for as long as you avoid a crash.

Tips

• Move along the edges and fold back and forth in rows, so your tail always leaves you a way out.
• Each speed and board size keeps its own best score, so you can set records at every level.
