Neo Snake

The pink diamond is food. Each bite lengthens the snake, adds ten points and shortens the time between steps. The bright head moves even when you leave the controls alone.

How to play

Your objective

Keep eating without running into the edge or your own body. The board does not wrap around.

Controls

  • Use the arrow keys, WASD or the on-screen direction buttons to turn. A direction opposite to the current one is ignored.
  • Press Space to pause or resume if you need to look for a route.
Worked example

Take the first diamond without boxing yourself in

  1. On a fresh board the snake starts heading right. The first diamond is on the same row, straight ahead; let the snake reach it.

  2. After the score reaches 10, find the next diamond. If it is behind your head, do not press left immediately. Turn up or down onto a free row first.

  3. Once the head has taken that step, turn left. Crossing back on the neighbouring row leaves the body behind you.

Player tip

At the edge, plan the turn one square early. An open lane is often worth more than the shortest route to the next diamond.
