How JavaScript Snakes plays

Every gain in length changes the next movement problem. A route that was open a moment ago can be occupied by your own body, so planning an exit is part of choosing where to turn.

The game’s menu and on-page instructions are intentionally spare. The repository describes an HTML5 experiment and provides implementation notes separately; this directory focuses on the playable version rather than treating development TODOs as features. Expect direct keyboard navigation, not a touchscreen promise inferred from the fact that the game is written in JavaScript.

Who might enjoy it

For players who enjoy an immediate arcade objective with a growing positional constraint. It suits a different mood from a story game or an untimed puzzle that lets you reconsider a move indefinitely.

Controls and device requirements

Use arrow and Enter keys for the menu, as shown on the host. Follow the game’s directional controls once a run starts.

The desktop Chromium smoke test reached a running game. Keyboard controls are documented; touch-only phone and tablet support has not been verified.
