Snek - Help

Controls

On keyboard, the game is played with the arrow keys.
You can use the f key to go fullscreen.
You can also use the r key to quickly restart a game.

On mobile or with a touchscreen, the game can be played in 3 modes.
In crosspad mode, the screen is divided into 4 regions, and each one corresponds to a direction.
In joystick mode, the point where you press your finger is the center of a virtual joystick, and moving it will trigger the directions.
In swipe mode, you just swipe to move.

Game modes

Speedrun mode

In speedrun mode, the goal is to collect all the fruits as fast as possible.
Attempting to go through the edge of the playfield will kill you.
Each level introduces a new mechanic.

Arcade

Arcade mode is mostly like the classics.
In arcade mode, you can go through the edge of the playfield and come out on the other side.
Super fruits and decaying fruits may also appear. They are worth 10 and 5 points respectively.

Timed

Timed mode is a bare-bones mode with a looping playfield.
A timed game only lasts for 30 seconds, and the goal is to get as high a score as possible.

Tiles

Walls kill you if you touch them
Fruits give you one point and make you grow. In arcade gamemodes, they also make the game go faster
Holes kill you if the entire snake is over a hole, or the head and 3 subsequent tiles are over a hole
Fire kills you if you touch it
Oil is flammable and will periodically catch on fire, which will kill you. It is otherwise perfectly safe
Super fruits give you 10 points, and sometimes spawn in arcade mode
Decaying fruits give you 5 points and sometimes spawn in arcade mode, but they also decay after 2 seconds and disappear
