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.
