Play Classic Snake online for free

You are a crystalline being made of pure light. A robotic snake who is made of lasers and lives by consuming electro apples in a future grid. It is a yummy, exciting existence but also a dangerous one. Even though you have the ability to teleport yourself from one side of the arena to another by simply slithering through a wall, you also are in danger of destroying yourself if you let the length of your snake body grow too large and you inadvertently smash into yourself while slithering through the grid. Use the W,A,S,D or Arrow pad keys to navigate your robo-snake through this gridded arena. Follow your hunger and chase down the apples as they appear. Grow your body as long and as large as you can but beware! For if your head is to smash into any segment of your body it will end in certain death. Also, take note! You have the ability to slither into one wall and come out the other side. If you master this ability you will become the king snake of the gridded arena.
