Snake
Snake is a pure positioning game. Every apple increases your future difficulty, so early habits decide whether you survive late rounds.
How to approach this game
Aim for smooth loops instead of aggressive cutbacks. Keep your path open and avoid boxing yourself into small pockets. When your snake is long, think two or three turns ahead before taking food near edges.
Common mistakes to avoid
Common losses come from greedy food grabs and last-second reversals that close your own lane. A slower, cleaner loop is usually better than a risky shortcut.
