Classic Snake
Deadly walls, tight board. The purest test of nerve.
Free · Room to grow
More space, bigger scores. The big snake game stretches the board to a sprawling 30 by 30 grid, giving you room for long, winding runs and the kind of huge snake that fills the screen.
About this mode
On a large grid the early game feels almost leisurely — there is so much open space that mistakes are easy to recover from. The real challenge arrives late, when your snake is enormous and even a big board starts to feel crowded.
This mode is all about endurance and route planning. The boustrophedon sweep — filling the board in neat rows — pays off enormously here, because a tidy path is the only way to safely manage a snake that has grown to hundreds of segments.
Use the arrow keys or WASD on desktop. On mobile, swipe in the direction you want the head to travel, or tap the D-pad under the board. Press Space to start or to restart after a game over.
