Golden Apple Snake Unblocked

Eat apples, grab the timed golden fruit and outrace a computer snake in a speedy grid game.

now playing: Golden Apple Snake

Every apple makes you longer and every point makes you quicker, so the board gets crowded fast. That is the whole idea, and it still works. The snake in this one has big googly eyes and a habit of speeding up just when the grid starts to feel tight.

Golden Apple Snake unblocked adds two twists to the old formula: a golden fruit on a countdown and a head-to-head VERSUS mode. Frank Force made it as part of his LittleJS Arcade.

How to play Golden Apple Snake

Pick PLAY for the solo mode. You start in the middle of a 24 by 18 grid, four segments long and heading right. Each red apple adds a point and one segment, and a new apple pops up somewhere else. You cannot reverse straight into your own neck.

After you reach 5 points, eating an apple sometimes spawns a golden fruit. It is worth 5 points and two segments, but it only sticks around for 6 seconds. A shrinking ring and a counter in the bottom left show how long you have. Hitting a wall or your own body ends the run.

VERSUS puts a pink computer snake on the far side with two apples on the board at once. First to 10 apples wins, and you can also win by making your rival crash. Heads meeting on the same square is a draw.

Tips

  • Circle the edges while short. Traveling along the walls leaves the middle open for when you are long.
  • Plan your exit first. Before diving for a corner apple, know how you will turn back out.
  • Let some golden fruit go. If it sits across the board, a panicked dash is a good way to crash.
  • Chase your tail. The square your tail leaves is safe on the next step, unless you just ate.
  • Cross the rival's path in VERSUS. Your rival heads for the closest apple it can reach safely, so getting in its way forces it to turn.

Golden Apple Snake questions

How fast does the snake get?

Speed rises with every point in solo mode until you hit 20, by which point it moves roughly double its starting speed. VERSUS keeps one steady speed.

Are my scores saved?

Yes. Your best solo score and your total VERSUS wins are kept in the browser on that device.

How do I turn on a phone?

Touch the screen and a direction pad shows up in the lower right corner. Holding the phone sideways gives the grid the most room.
