About Snake Race
Snake Race starts instantly in your browser. Collect glowing food, build mass, grow longer and thicker, use boost at the right moment, and cut across rival paths. The bigger you get, the more room you need to turn. Your best mass and chosen nickname are saved on this device.
How to play Snake Race
Steer with the mouse, WASD or arrow keys. On a phone, use the left joystick. Hold the mouse button or Space to boost; on touchscreens, hold the right boost button. Boosting spends mass. Avoid other snakes' bodies; your own body is safe. The arena has no hard border: crossing one side continues seamlessly from the opposite side. After losing, edit your name if you like and return with 12 mass.
