Google Snake

What is Google Snake?

Google Snake is a pleasant and nostalgic browser game unveiled as an Easter egg in 2013 on the Google search engine. This 21st-century version of the Snake game pays tribute to its heritage, tracing its roots back to the late 1970s and being immensely popular through Nokia mobile phones in the late 1990s. With very simple yet addictive gameplay, Google Snake offers a timeless experience that is readily accessible but incredibly difficult to master.

How to Play

The objective of the Google Snake game is to control a pixelated snake around a grid-based arena so that it can eat pellets to gain length and stay clear of walls or collisions with its own tail. At the start of the game, the snake is centrally positioned, and players can use arrow keys to steer the direction of the snake. Pellets are randomly placed within the grid and act as food for the snake. The game will end if the snake hits any wall or its body; however, players can restart the game by pressing the "Enter" key.

Tips and Tricks

To be a winner in Google Snake, follow some suggested tips, and here are just a few:

• Think several steps ahead: Always anticipate your future collisions with walls or your own tail. Think about the position of your snake in two or three moves ahead.
• Maintain moderate speed: It should be slow enough to be under full control of the snake since the faster it goes, the harder it is to control.
• Use the edge of the grid: The edge can be a trick to prevent the tail from colliding with you.
• Patience pays off: Do not rush. Sometimes a simple delay can save you from a big mistake.
• 360° awareness: Look around the whole screen, not just where the snake is at the moment. This helps to keep track of the longer road.
• Practice brings proficiency: Like any other skill, it gets better with time. Do not get depressed with the first low scores; keep trying!
• Efficient Keyboard Control: Use the spacebar to pause and the enter key to restart, saving you valuable time and frustration.

History

The original Snake game dates back to the late 1970s, when programmers at Stanford University developed it. It became a widespread hit especially in the late 1990s, when it was pre-installed in Nokia mobile phones which then became much-loved standard fare for mobile gaming. The Google edition of the game in 2013 ripples this nostalgia into the masses through their search engine and reminds everybody of the simple pleasure that Snake offers.
