Snake Game

What is Snake Game?

Snake is one of the most iconic video games of all time. The player controls a growing snake that moves around the screen collecting food. Each piece of food makes the snake longer, increasing the difficulty as you must avoid running into walls or your own tail. Our version features multiple difficulty levels, game modes, power-ups, and both classic and borderless gameplay options.

The History of Snake Game

The Snake game concept dates back to 1976 with Blockade, but it became a global phenomenon when Nokia pre-installed Snake on their mobile phones starting in 1997. Created by Taneli Armanto, Nokia's Snake became one of the most played games in history, with over 400 million Nokia phones shipping with the game. It introduced millions to mobile gaming and remains a beloved classic that has been recreated countless times across all platforms.
