How to play #
- Pick Play on the title screen with Z (A). Arrow keys move through the menu.
- Steer with the arrow keys. Quick double turns are remembered, so tight U-turns work.
- Eat red apples to grow. Every fifth apple a golden apple appears for a few seconds and is worth five apples.
- The snake, and the music, speed up as you grow.
- Don’t bite yourself. With Walls on, the edges are deadly too; with them off you wrap around.
- Esc (MENU) pauses. Make the top five and you get to enter your initials.
