Snake 2048 — Grow, Merge & Conquer

Steer your snake with the mouse on desktop or the on-screen joystick on mobile. Collect cubes with a value smaller than yours — your tail extends, and matching numbers merge and double. Watch out for any snakes and blocks that are bigger than you. At the start, focus on picking up neutral cubes lying around the arena. Once you've built up enough mass, start attacking other players.

You start as a small block with a value of 4 on a neon grid. Numbered cubes are scattered across the arena — collect any that are smaller than your current number. Matching values in your tail merge together, doubling your snake's power. Your tail grows with every cube you absorb, and the value of your head block determines who you can eat.

The main danger is colliding with a block or a snake whose number is higher than yours — that means instant game over. Rival bot-snakes roam the arena hunting the same cubes. If your value is higher, you can consume an entire enemy snake and claim all of its blocks. As you grow stronger, your rivals become more powerful too — there's no time to relax.

But even if you get eaten, it's not the end. Before the next round you can spend earned points to boost your starting value. You can also switch the difficulty level — hard mode is on by default, but an easy mode is available too.

The game runs smoothly even on less powerful devices — just open the page in your browser and play.
