About this tool
Play a responsive Snake game with speed levels, collision detection, touch controls, and score statistics.
This Snake game runs the classic grow-and-avoid-yourself arcade loop on an 18x18 grid, with four speed settings that also change what each piece of food is worth: Easy moves every 160ms for 5 points, Medium 120ms for 10, Hard 90ms for 15 and Extreme 60ms for 25. You start as a three-segment snake, gain a segment for every food eaten, and the run ends the moment the head leaves the grid or hits the body. Arrow keys, WASD and on-screen touch buttons all steer it, and the page tracks high score, games played, average score and longest survival across your session.
Open Snake Game on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Pick a Difficulty from Easy · 160ms, Medium · 120ms, Hard · 90ms or Extreme · 60ms, and toggle the Sound On / Sound Off button beside it.
Press 'Start Game' and steer with the arrow keys, WASD or the on-screen pad below the 18 x 18 board; 'Pause' holds the run and 'Restart' asks to confirm before ending it.
Every food adds one segment and 5 to 25 points depending on difficulty; a crash shows 'Collision detected' and updates the Score, High score, Games played, Average score, Survival and Longest tiles.
Higher difficulty shortens the tick and raises the points per food, so an Extreme run at 25 points a piece is genuinely worth more than an Easy one at 5.
Each new food is picked from the open cells only, so you never lose a run to an unreachable or already-occupied target.
Pressing the direct opposite of your current heading is ignored rather than folding the snake into itself, so a fumbled key does not instantly end the game.
The board is 18 by 18 cells, or 324 squares in total, and the snake advances one cell per tick. The tick is 160ms on Easy, 120ms on Medium, 90ms on Hard and 60ms on Extreme, so Extreme moves just under three times as fast as Easy.
It depends on difficulty: 5 points on Easy, 10 on Medium, 15 on Hard and 25 on Extreme. The snake also grows by exactly one segment per food, starting from a body of three.
Yes — an on-screen directional pad is provided alongside keyboard control, so the game is fully playable by touch. On a desktop keyboard both the arrow keys and WASD work.
They are kept for the current session only — high score, games played, average score and longest survival all reset when you reload or leave the page. Note down a score you want to keep before closing the tab.
