Game overview

Retro snack hunt

Snake Mono rejuvenates the classic snake loop with a stark black-and-white aesthetic. Maneuver deviously through the grid collecting food, lengthening the trail, and avoiding your own tail. Simple controls hide a rising difficulty curve as the screen fills with snake segments.

Controls

Keyboard-only play

  • WASD / Arrow keys: Steer the snake.
  • P: Pause or resume the action.

Tips

Plan ahead

  • Leave yourself escape corridors instead of hugging the borders.
  • Use the pause key if you need to rethink your route as the snake grows.
  • Guide the head in wide arcs to prevent sudden collisions with your tail.
