Neon Snake

Frequently asked questions

Is Neon Snake free to play?

Yes. Neon Snake is free in your browser on ArcadeWhale, with nothing to download and no account to create.

How do I control the snake?

On a computer, use the arrow keys or WASD to change direction. On a phone or tablet, swipe in the direction you want to turn. The snake moves continuously and cannot stop or reverse into itself.

How does the game end?

The run ends when the snake hits a wall or collides with its own body. Since the snake grows every time it eats, the arena effectively shrinks as you score, and avoiding your own tail becomes the main challenge.

Any tips for getting a higher score?

Hug the edges of the arena rather than cutting through the middle, and always leave yourself a way out before entering a tight space. Late in a run it is often better to ignore a pellet for a few seconds and unwind your shape than to chase it into a dead end.

Can I play Snake on my phone?

Yes. The game supports touch controls — swipe in the direction you want the snake to turn — and runs in a mobile browser with no app required.
