As you eat more apples, your snake gets longer and the game becomes more challenging. The longer your snake gets, the more careful you have to be to avoid collisions. It’s a game that requires quick reflexes and a bit of strategy.

The game is over when you hit the wall or your tail. Generally, the snake closes its one eye when it is about to die after hitting.
