Outsnake: Reverse Snake Game

Outsnake is a reverse snake game. You're the bait, and the snake is hunting you.

It plays on the same grid as the classic snake game, but you're on the other side of the chase. Swipe to move one tile at a time, grab pellets, and dodge the snake. Every pellet makes the snake longer and a little faster, so each run gets tighter the longer you last.

Fake out the snake
The snake chases where you were a moment ago, not where you are. Stop short or double back and it bites at empty space. When it winds up for a charge, step aside.

Make it crash
Lead the snake into a wall or into its own body for a big bonus. It comes back short and slower, and the chase starts again. Its body blocks you too, so watch for dead ends.

Four power-ups
Freeze stops the snake cold. Dash jumps you up to three tiles in one swipe. Decoy sends it after a fake bait. Shrink cuts its tail short.

Simple swipe controls
Swipe to step. Hold after a swipe to keep moving, slide your finger to turn, and lift to stop. Six short How to play steps show you the rest.

Modern 3D or retro snake

Baits and coins
Play as a pellet, mouse, apple, fish, frog, or heart. Earn coins from every run, from crashes, and from a daily gift, then spend them in the shop.
