About the Game

Ouroboros Snake is a fast, arcade-style snake game on a fixed grid.
Eat apples to grow, survive longer, and push your score higher.

The twist is risk: when your tail is marked, you can bite it for a large score bonus that scales with your current length. The longer you are, the bigger the reward—but one mistake can end the run instantly.

Built for short sessions and quick retries, Ouroboros Snake focuses on clean controls, readable visuals, and high-risk score decisions.

Features

  • Classic snake movement on a clear 2D grid

  • Score-focused gameplay with fast restart loops

  • High-risk tail-bite mechanic for bonus points

  • Single-player arcade experience for keyboard play

Can you stay alive long enough to cash in big—or will greed end your run?
