How to play
One dot at a time
Eat the blue dots to grow your snake and earn points. Your snake speeds up a little with each dot. Touch your own body and the run ends, then returns to the waiting dots. Fill every space to win.
The edges wrap. Leave one side and you appear on the opposite side. You cannot turn straight back into yourself.
Pick your way to play
- Touch: swipe across the dotted board. Keep your finger down and change direction for another turn.
- Mouse: click and drag across the board to steer.
- Trackpad: scroll in the direction you want while your pointer is over the board. One gesture makes one turn; lift and start a fresh gesture for the next.
- Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD turn. Space pauses or resumes. Enter starts or retries. R opens the restart confirmation. Escape ends the run and returns to the ready animation.
- Direction buttons: reveal the optional buttons below the board for another way to steer.
Choose Play or tap the dots to begin. The board accepts one queued turn per step, so very rapid changes may be ignored.
Take your time
The game pauses when the tab becomes hidden, the browser loses focus, or your device changes orientation. Resume intentionally when you are ready. How to play opens this page. Choose Back to play to return to the game.
Browser back swipes and system edge gestures can still take over. The game cannot disable every browser or device gesture. Zoom and normal scrolling stay available outside the playing surface.
Your best score stays in this browser. It does not sync across devices, and clearing browser data removes it.
