FAQ
How do I control the snake?
Use Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) or WASD keys to change direction. You cannot reverse direction directly — your snake must have room to turn.
What happens when I eat food?
Each piece of food adds 10 points to your score and makes your snake one segment longer. The game becomes progressively more challenging as you grow!
What causes game over?
Game over occurs when your snake head collides with the game board walls or any part of its own body. The longer you get, the more careful you need to be!
Can I pause the game?
Yes! Press SPACE to pause and resume the game at any time.
Is there a high score system?
Yes! Your current session tracks your high score. Try to beat your personal best each time you play!
Does the game get harder?
Yes! As your snake grows longer, the game speed remains constant but the challenge increases due to having less space to maneuver.
