The python is so hungry, that it will eat everything - mostly apples, which gives you points and unfortunately makes your snake longer and faster. You need to watch out not to bite yourself and avoid obstacles. Sometimes a bonus item can appear, so you better grab it fast, because the faster you get it, the better is the reward. Keep your snake safe ... Will you slither to freedom or succumb to the dangers that lurk at every turn?
