About
Charles the Snake is classic snake with a twist that changes everything: only ONE color is safe to eat.
Magic beans fill the maze in seven colors, but Charles may only eat the target color — one wrong bean and the run is over. The panel always shows which color is coming next, so every bite is a small plan: line up the next target, pick your route, and keep the streak alive.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Swipe to steer — smooth, continuous movement built for quick, deliberate turns
• Eat the target color to grow, score, and promote the next color
• Every bean makes Charles a little faster — how long can you keep up?
• Chain quick eats to keep your scoring streak burning
• One wrong bean ends the run. No second chances… almost.
SPECIAL BEANS
• The GOLDEN BEAN ignites a long golden streak — harvest bonus beans while it lasts
• The SHIELD BEAN absorbs one deadly mistake and saves your run
• Special beans never expire, and choosing when to grab them is half the strategy
DARK MODE
• Flip the moon switch and play the same rules at night
• In the dark you see beans only up close — walls loom from farther away, and no arrows point the way
• The NIGHT BEAN lights up the whole room for a few seconds
• Dark mode keeps its own records, leaderboard, and tutorial

Every room is generated fresh — new walls, new routes, new escapes. No two runs are ever the same.

What's New in Charles the Snake
1.7.2
September 4, 2026
Small fixes: • The Dark Mode tip remembers that you've seen it — it no longer comes back, and it only shows up after you've finished a game • On smaller iPhones, the game's title no longer runs under the Dark Mode button • Dark Mode's first-run guide: "Skip tutorial" is easier to read on the night card
