Play the authentic 1997 Nokia retro Snake game online in your browser. Grow your snake on a 20x15 grid, survive speed-ups, and install the watch face skin.
Space Snake delivers an authentic 1:1 recreation of the legendary 1997 retro arcade Snake game. Played on a precise 20×15 grid (300 total cells) with a classic green phosphor monochrome LCD palette, the snake begins with 3 segments and moves at a baseline speed of 4.0 steps per second. Each diamond food pellet collected adds +1 segment to your body length and increments your score by 1.
To test player reflexes as the body grows, the engine features a deterministic speed-up curve. Every 5 food pellets consumed increases game velocity by +0.5 steps per second, up to a blistering ceiling of 12.0 steps per second. There are no wrap-around screen wraps or extra lives: touching any perimeter boundary wall or self-intersecting results in instant Game Over.
On Apple Watch (watchOS), the game leverages the tactile Digital Crown for discrete 90-degree relative turns accompanied by crisp haptic pulses from the Taptic Engine. When idle, the companion Snake watch face complication showcases a live frozen frame of your snake, score, and length right on your wrist dial alongside weather, battery, and step complications.
Yes! The Space Watch Faces app includes the authentic Snake game for Apple Watch with Digital Crown turn controls and live dial complication snapshot syncing.
No, this faithful port adheres to classic Nokia 6110 rules with solid boundary walls. Hitting any wall results in Game Over.
The theoretical maximum score is 297 points, achieved by filling all 300 grid cells with the snake body.
The game starts at 4.0 steps per second and accelerates by +0.5 steps/sec for every 5 pellets eaten, reaching a max cap of 12.0 steps/sec at 80 points.
