Introduction
Fruit Snake Challenge is a modern version of the classic Snake game, in which players guide a snake to eat fruit, grow longer and score points while avoiding obstacles. Unlike traditional Snake games, this version often includes a time limit, vibrant graphics and unique mechanics such as limited lives or borderless gameplay.
The goal is to collect as many fruits as possible to extend the playing time and achieve high scores, while controlling the snake to avoid colliding with its own tail. This is an addictive, fast-paced arcade game suitable for all ages, playable on various platforms including web browsers, mobile devices…
How to play
Controls
- Keyboard (Desktop): Use the left and right arrow keys to turn the snake. In most versions, the snake moves automatically, and you only control its direction (clockwise with the left arrow, counterclockwise with the right).
- Touchscreen (Mobile): Tap on-screen arrows to steer the snake left or right.
- Note: The snake cannot move up or down directly, making precise turns crucial to avoid collisions.
Gameplay
- Fruit Collection: Fruits appear randomly on the screen. Eating a fruit adds to your score, extends the timer (starting at around 30 seconds), and makes the snake longer.
- Time Limit: You must reach fruits before the timer runs out, or the game ends. Eating fruits adds time to keep the game going.
- Lives: The snake typically has three lives. Colliding with its own tail costs one life. The game ends if all lives are lost or the timer expires.
- Borderless Mode: The screen has no walls. If the snake exits one side, it reappears on the opposite side
- Scoring: Points are earned for each fruit eaten. Your best and latest scores are often saved and displayed on the game over screen.
Challenge yourself to beat your high score and enjoy the nostalgic yet fresh take on this classic game!
