PlagomoHow to play Snake
- Swipe on the board, use the on-screen d-pad, or press the arrow keys / WASD to steer.
- Eat the red apples to grow longer and score points. The snake speeds up as it grows.
- In Classic mode, hitting a wall or your own tail ends the game. In No walls mode you pass through the edges.
- In ⚡ Power-ups mode, bonus items appear: ⭐ golden apple (+5), 🐢 slow-mo for 7 seconds, ✂️ shrink (cuts 3 segments) and 👻 ghost (pass through walls and yourself for 6 seconds). They vanish if you're too slow.
- Tap Pause (or press Space) to pause. The game pauses automatically if you switch apps.
Tips and strategy
- Move along the edges early on to keep the middle of the board open.
- Plan your turn a step ahead: a quick double swipe queues two turns.
- When you get long, trace a zig-zag pattern so there's always an escape path.
