Gameplay

Snake Escape puts the player in control of a snake which grows each time it moves. After starting a game, the snake will appear as an unhatched egg.

Move in any direction to hatch the egg and make the snake appear. Carefully navigate the level towards the fruit to progress! The snake can become trapped in itself or between other objects. When this happens, press the Reset level button to try the level again.

The snake can only move 3 tiles upwards unsupported - the snake’s head will change colour to indicate how close it is to the limit. The snake’s head will fall with gravity when moving horizontally and not landing on a tile. The snake’s body can be used to support the head.
