FAQ
Can the snake turn backwards?
A direct reversal is blocked. Up to two turns can be queued to make quick corners without reversing into yourself.
Does it keep moving if I switch tabs?
No. Leaving the page or blurring the browser pauses play. Returning or reloading requires you to resume manually.
Where are scores and progress saved?
Only in this browser. Clearing browser data or switching devices loses this progress. All speeds share one personal best.
