How to Play Snake on BitzGaming

By BitzGaming Editorial · Updated 29 September 2026

BitzGaming Snake: 28×28 board, +10 per bite, speed that rises with score, wall and tail collisions, keyboard and swipe.

This Snake is a BitzGaming implementation of a familiar arcade idea: steer a growing line, eat, and avoid walls and yourself. The rules below are taken from the live code, not from a generic wiki.

Play Snake free in your browser — no signup, no download. This guide describes the BitzGaming board only.

How Snake works on BitzGaming

  • The grid is 28 columns by 28 rows. Food never spawns on the snake.
  • Each bite adds 10 to the score. The personal best is the highest score stored in this browser.
  • Tick interval is max(90ms, 150ms − score × 2). As the score rises the snake moves faster; it never goes below 90ms.
  • The run starts on your first move. A wall hit or a bite of your own body ends it.
  • You cannot reverse into yourself in one tick (opposite direction is ignored).

How to play Snake

  • Open Snake. Desktop: arrows or WASD. Phone: short swipes on the canvas — one swipe per turn.
  • Eat the burgundy cell. The body grows by one segment.
  • Do not leave the grid. Do not cross the tail.

Strategy for this board

  • Keep a clear lane along one edge so you can unwind when the body is long.
  • After a bite, pause a beat. Most deaths here are greedy turns at higher speed.
  • On a phone, one swipe per heading change. Double-swipes fold you into the tail.
  • Corners trap you once the body fills two sides. Plan the exit before you eat.

Personal best

Best score is saved under a localStorage key on this device only. Clearing site data deletes it. There is no global leaderboard.

Questions about Snake

Does the snake wrap around the board?
No. The edges are walls.
Does speed reset when I restart?
Yes. Speed is derived from the current run’s score, which starts at 0.
