About Snake
Snake is one of the oldest arcade games on the planet — first appearing on mainframes in 1976 and going truly global as the killer pre-installed game on Nokia phones in the late 1990s. The rules have not changed in fifty years and that is the point: steer a growing line around a grid, eat the dots, do not run into the walls, do not run into yourself.
Pondernook Snake is the pure original. No power-ups, no missions, no level cards — just one board, one score, one best run. Plays in your browser with no install. Arrow keys on desktop, swipe on mobile. Best score is kept locally on this device. Perfect for a one-minute reset between work blocks: the rule set is so small that you stop thinking about controls and just play.
