How to play

  1. Steer the snake to eat the pellets.
  2. Each pellet adds a segment and a bit of speed.
  3. Golden pellets are worth triple but vanish fast.
  4. Hit a wall or your own tail and it's over.

Tips for a better score

  • Your tail leaves its square as your head arrives, except just after eating, so you can trail it closely; sweep in tidy rows to keep a way out.
  • A golden pellet is worth 30, three red ones' worth, and it grows you without adding any speed, so it's the best-value bite on the board.
  • Don't chase gold across the grid; it vanishes about four seconds after it appears, and a rushed detour is how long runs usually end.
  • Only one turn counts per step, so for a tight U-turn press the second direction a beat after the first, not both at once.

About Neon Snake

Neon Snake is the classic grow-as-you-eat arcade game with a pixel glow. Steer the snake around the grid to eat pellets; every pellet makes you longer and a little faster. Walls and your own tail end the run. Golden pellets appear briefly for triple points.
