How to play Snake Arena
Snake Arena is an offline arena game for one player and a pack of bot snakes. Move the mouse or drag a finger to steer, and hold click, Space or the BOOST button to dash forward, which burns a little of your length and leaves a trail of orbs. Eat orbs to grow longer and thicker.
The arena is a big glowing circle with a deadly wall. Touching the body of another snake, or the wall, ends your run and turns your whole snake into orbs for the bots to eat. Cut across the path of a bot, make it crash into you, and you collect the orbs it leaves behind.
The bots get sharper every 45 seconds and more of them join in, so a long snake has to stay clever. Pick one of eight neon skins, climb the live top-five board and beat your best length, which is saved on your device. If a run ends too soon you can watch an optional video to revive once.
Controls

Drag a finger to steer. Hold the BOOST button to speed up (costs length). The mini map shows the whole arena.
FAQ
Do I need an internet connection or other players?
No. The other snakes are bots that run inside the game, so you can play any time and the arena is always busy.
How do I grow faster?
Eat the glowing orbs, and above all eat the orbs a crashed snake leaves behind. Big orbs come from big snakes. Boosting costs length, so use it to cut in front of a bot, not to travel.
What ends a run?
Touching the body or head of another snake, or the arena wall. You are safe for about two seconds after you spawn. Your snake then becomes orbs.
Does the game get harder?
Yes. Every 45 seconds the arena tier goes up: bots react faster, hunt you more and one more bot joins, up to eight tiers.
Is Snake Arena free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Drag a finger to steer. Hold the BOOST button to speed up (costs length). The mini map shows the whole arena.
