About Snake Duel

Two snakes, one keyboard, no turn taking. Player 1 drives with WASD and Player 2 with the arrow keys, both moving on the same tick. Eat to grow, avoid the walls and each other, and take three rounds to win the match.

Snake Duel FAQ

How do two people play on one keyboard?

Player 1 steers with W A S D on the left of the keyboard and Player 2 steers with the arrow keys on the right. Both snakes move at the same time, so nobody gets a free extra step.

How do you win?

Rounds, not points. The first player to take three rounds wins the match, and the scoreboard at the top shows how many each player has.

What ends a round?

Hitting a wall, running into your own tail, running into the other snake, or letting the sixty second clock run out. On a timeout the longer snake wins the round.

What happens if both snakes crash head on?

It is scored as a draw and neither player gets a point. Neither snake is given priority, which is the only fair way to settle it.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. On a touch device two sets of direction buttons appear under the board, one for each player, so you can play side by side on one screen.

Does the game speed up?

Yes. Every time either snake eats, the tick gets a little shorter, so a round that starts calm ends up frantic.
