Don't crash. That's it. The grid is clean, the movement is honest, and the controls respond instantly. Built for one-hand play on the bus, in line, between meetings, or whenever you want one perfect run. Three modes: • SNAKE RETRO — the original, the way you remember it • SNAKE ZERO — manual movement, mystery boxes, efficiency scoring • RUSH — swipe through lanes, build combos, dodge close, and charge Rush Mode NEW IN 1.11.1: RUSH MODE Rush is a fast, 2D Snake runner built for quick replayable runs.
