About Coin Snake
This is a fun and addicting classic infinite snake game where players control a snake to collect as many gold coins as it can. Consuming a coin gains you a point and makes the snake a longer. Like the classic snake game, the more coins you eat, the longer your snake grows. It’s game over once you hit your tail or any body part of your snake. The classic arcade snake game becomes more challenging to navigate when it grows very long.
How to play Coin Snake
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
What makes Coin Snake stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
