How to Play & Controls — Neon Snake

Swipe, turn and grow. Chase energy cores through a glowing grid.

Keyboard & touch controls

Neon Snake is a swipe-first arcade game. Swipe or drag across the board to turn, including successive turns without lifting your finger. Arrow keys, WASD and optional direction buttons remain available. Collect energy dots to grow, avoid the walls and your own trail, and plan an escape route before turning. Two turns can be buffered, but immediate reversals are rejected. Every fifth dot is a golden energy core worth 30 points that briefly slows the pace; regular dots score 10. Speed rises gradually to a fixed ceiling. Fill all 400 cells to complete the grid. Pause and restart are always free. Collect energy, grow the snake and fill the grid without hitting walls or your trail.
