Snake

About

Snake is a simple arcade game where you steer a pixelated creature that grows longer each time it eats a dot. The goal is to avoid crashing into walls or your own body as the screen fills up. Controls are basic, swipe or tap to change direction. It plays like a test of reflexes and patience, with high scores serving as both a badge of honor and a reminder of inevitable failures. Nokia launched this version in 1997, pre-smartphone, and it became a mobile gaming staple. The 2017 update brought it to Facebook Messenger, proving its timeless appeal. With no multiplayer or flashy graphics, it relies on pure mechanics. Player forums still debate best strategies for staying alive just one more turn.
