Modern Snake
Grow, survive and chase a new high score
Modern Snake refreshes the classic Snake formula with three lives, timed bonus food, progressive speed, mouse and keyboard controls, mobile swipe controls and a persistent local leaderboard.
A modern version of the classic Snake game
Eat the golden food to grow the snake and collect points while avoiding the walls and your own body. You start with three lives, so one collision does not end the whole game. The speed gradually increases as your level rises.

- Timed bonus food: hearts can restore a life and stars award bonus points.

- Mouse control using Pointer Lock: click the game board once, then steer by moving the mouse. Press Esc to release the cursor.
