You already
know this game.

Five pixels and an apple. Eat, grow, don't crash. You played it under a desk, on a phone with no colour and a battery that lasted a week.

You've never
played this one.

Same three seconds to learn. One rule changed — and everything after it is new.

A board dense with the player's own stone
THE ONE NEW RULE

Every snake
drags its tail.
Yours doesn't.

When you shed, your body stops exactly where it stands and hardens. It's still there in ten seconds. Still there in three minutes. Every grey block on that screen is somewhere you chose to go.

Boost tearing through stone
WHEN IT CLOSES IN

Punch straight
through your
own history.

Catch a bird, earn a boost. Fourteen cells at five times speed, shattering everything in the path. It's the only way out of a corridor you built yourself.

THE WHOLE GAME

Stay long for points.
Or shed now and live.

Length is your score. Length is what you spend to break walls. Length is what buries you. One resource, three uses, never enough.

TRY IT
WHAT'S IN IT
A new board every day
Identical for every player, so your score means something.
Four tiers
Calm to Blur. Faster boards pay more.
Chains, grazes, tight coils
A sharp run scores many times a careless one.
One hand, two gestures
Swipe to turn. Tap to shed. That's it.
No ads
Not one.
No purchases
You buy it once.
No account
Nothing leaves your phone.

Everywhere you've been
is in your way.
