Crossover

Liner notes

How to play

• Steer by swiping anywhere on the board, or with the arrow keys, WASD or a gamepad. The snake never stops, and turning straight back is ignored.
• Eat the dot by running over it. The snake grows by a tile and the next dot appears. The edge of the board ends the game.
• Crossings: every fifth dot is a crossing +. It stays on the board, and it’s the only place the snake may cross itself.
• Crossing over is straight: the snake can’t turn on a crossing, and each one takes one pass across and one pass down, no more.
• Pause with P, Escape or Space, or by leaving the page. Your best is kept in this browser.

Questions

How do crossings work?

Every fifth dot is a crossing. Once eaten it stays on the board, and the snake may pass over it twice: once across and once down. It can’t turn while on one, so plan your way through.

Does it get faster?

Yes, gently: a little with every dot, up to a top speed at about 37 dots.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Swipe anywhere on the board to steer. The page doesn’t scroll while your finger is on the board.
