Classic Snake
Deadly walls, tight board. The purest test of nerve.
Free · No dead ends
Tired of crashing into the border? In this mode the walls simply are not there. Glide off the top and you reappear at the bottom; slip off the left and you return on the right. The only thing that can end your run is you.
About this mode
Removing the walls turns snake from a boxing-in puzzle into a flowing one. You can escape a tight spot by wrapping to the far side, which opens up bold, looping routes that would be suicidal on the classic board.
But do not get complacent: the speed still rises with every apple, and a long snake wrapping around the board can box itself in just as easily as it would against a wall. The challenge simply shifts from the edges to your own growing tail.
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.
