How to play Snake
- The snake moves on its own; you only change its direction.
- Each red apple is worth 1 point and makes the snake longer.
- Every 5 apples a golden star appears. It is worth 5 points but vanishes after a few seconds.
- The snake speeds up little by little. Hitting a wall or your own body ends the game.
Tips to beat your high score
- Sweep the board in a zigzag once the snake is long, so you never trap yourself.
- Always leave yourself an exit before going for the food.
- You can queue two quick turns: the game remembers them in order.
