Snake for Android

About Snake

Snake is the classic arcade game where you guide a growing snake around the board, eating food while avoiding your own tail. Every bite makes you longer, so the space you have to move in shrinks as you play. It is easy to learn and hard to put down.

GameHub's Snake uses a 16 by 16 grid with edges that wrap around, so leaving one side brings you back on the opposite side. You steer with a circular drag pad, the game speeds up as you level up, and your best score is saved on your device.

How to play

1. Press and drag on the circular pad at the bottom of the screen toward the direction you want the snake to go: up, down, left or right.

2. Guide the snake head onto the food to eat it. Each piece of food makes the snake longer and adds points.

3. Slide your finger from one side of the pad to another without lifting to change direction smoothly. You cannot turn straight back on yourself.

4. Cross an edge of the board to come out on the opposite side. Walls do not end the game.

5. Avoid running into your own body, because that ends the run. Eat 5 foods to reach the next level, where the snake moves faster.

6. Use the pause button if you need a break. The game gives you a 3, 2, 1 countdown before the snake moves again.

Pro tips

• Plan a turn or two ahead so you never box yourself into a corner as the snake grows.
• Use the wrap-around edges to take shortcuts to food on the far side of the board.
• Keep your snake in a loose, wide pattern early on and save tight spaces for later.
• Do not chase food in a straight line when your tail is close. Curve around your body first.
• As the speed rises, make small, early direction changes instead of last-second ones.
