PURE ARCADE // TEN STAGES

EAT DATA. GROW LONGER. DON'T BITE YOURSELF.

This is the old rule set you remember: steer the snake, eat glowing bytes, grow one block at a time, and avoid walls, obstacles and your own tail. Every fifth byte can spawn a short-lived bonus data chip worth extra points.

Later boards get faster and add compact obstacle fields, but the controls never change.

SNAKE//BYTE keeps the mechanic intentionally pure: turn in four directions, eat data blocks, grow longer and survive your own increasingly dangerous body. It starts immediately with the familiar open board, then adds speed and obstacle patterns across ten stages.

Simple controls, escalating pressure

Use arrow keys or WASD on desktop, swipe directly across the game screen on touch devices, or use the built-in direction pad. Every fifth normal byte can create a temporary bonus byte for extra score. Crashes cost a life and restart the snake without resetting your full run score.

Ten boards, one rule: keep growing

Later stages introduce walls, gates and compact maze-like formations while shortening the movement interval. The final levels become a proper reaction-and-planning test without changing the core nostalgic feel.
