The glowing gold food is worth 5 points and vanishes after a moment.

How to use it

  1. Choose a speed and whether the walls are solid, then press Start Game.
  2. Steer with the arrow keys, WASD, a swipe or the on-screen arrows.
  3. Eat the red food to grow; the gold food is worth 5 but disappears quickly.

Questions

What do the settings change?

Speed sets how fast the snake moves, solid walls end the game on contact, and wrap-around lets you come out the opposite side. Each combination keeps its own best score.

Can I turn back on myself?

No. A reverse turn is ignored, but quick turns in a row are queued so none of your key presses are lost.

What is the gold food?

After every fifth piece of food a gold one appears for a short time. A ring around it shows how long is left, and it adds 5 points.
