ABOUT SQUARED SNAKE

Squared Snake is a classic snake game with a level-based twist: instead of playing forever on one board, you clear a set number of food items to level up, and each level up speeds the snake up further. You have three lives, so a single collision with a wall or your own tail costs a life and resets your position rather than ending the run outright, giving you room to recover and keep climbing levels.

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Press Start Mission to begin with a 3-segment snake.
  2. Guide the snake to eat the red food square — each one grows your snake and adds to your score.
  3. Eat 5 food items to level up, which increases your speed and score multiplier.
  4. Avoid hitting the walls or your own tail — a collision costs one of your 3 lives.
  5. Survive as many levels as possible; the run ends when you're out of lives.

CONTROLS

Arrow keys or WASD on desktop. On mobile, use the on-screen directional pad below the game board. Press P at any time to pause.

FAQ

What happens when I lose a life?

The snake resets to its starting length and position but your score and level are kept, so you can keep pushing your total higher across all three lives.

Does the board size change?

No, the board stays a fixed grid throughout; it's the speed and your own snake length that make later levels harder to navigate.
