Retro Snake

Add game to your favorites

This is a modern retro-styled version of the classic mobile game. The rules are the same: feed the snake and help it avoid obstacles. The interface of the game resembles a handheld console.

• Keep the snake fed for as long as you can.
• As you feed the snake, it gets longer.
• Watch out for bombs, other snakes, and the wall.
