The game
Simple rules, clear feedback, quick restarts.
The standard run begins with a three-section snake: collect the blinking red ball, avoid the wall, and do not cross your own body. The movement is smooth, the snake reacts to danger and the nearby red ball, and tears appear when a collision ends the run.
After every five normal pickups, a larger timed black bonus ball appears for 7.5 seconds. A separate Rival Run mode adds three moving snakes, so the safe route changes while you play.

The board tells you what matters.
The bonus ball visibly runs out
Its timer and size fall together, so you can judge whether the detour is worth taking.
Danger has a separate warning
The snake reacts before an immediate collision, while Rival Run also tracks moving enemy bodies.
Sound follows the action
Red-ball pickups combine the bite with a brief hiss; impacts, streaks, and the timed bonus use different cues.

Questions
Snakega.me FAQ
Is Snakega.me free?

How do I move the snake on a phone?
Swipe directly on the board. There is no on-screen direction pad covering the game.
Why does the game enter fullscreen?
The game requests fullscreen when the first move starts so the board has more room. Your browser may decline the request, and you can leave fullscreen at any time.
How does the red ball score?
Every normal red ball is worth 1 point and adds 1 body section. The timed bonus black ball is worth 5 points and adds 5 sections.
What is Rival Run?
Rival Run adds three moving snakes. Touching a rival, or letting a rival head reach your body, ends the run.
