How to play
Snake Sprint is the arcade classic with a sprinter's twist. You steer a snake around the board, eating red apples to grow longer and score. Every 5 apples earns a speed-up — the snake moves one notch faster, so your reflexes have to keep up. Crash into a wall or your own tail and the run ends.
Controls
- Keyboard: arrow keys or W/A/S/D to steer. Enter or Space to start / restart.
- Touch: swipe on the board to change direction, or use the on-screen direction pad.
- Mouse: use the direction pad under the board.
Tips & strategy
- Plan two turns ahead: once the snake is long, never box yourself into a corner — leave a looping path open.
- Each apple is 10 points, plus a 25-point bonus at every speed-up milestone. Chasing the next milestone is worth the risk.
- At high speed, small nudges beat big turns — hold a straight line while you scan for the next apple.
- Your best score is saved in this browser, so every run is a race against yourself.
Scoring
Every apple scores 10 points. Every 5th apple triggers a speed-up and pays a 25-point milestone bonus. The run ends on the first wall or tail collision — your best score is kept between visits.
