How to build a snake game

A snake moves, eats, and grows. Hitting the wall or itself ends the run. Build3 builds it, you play the preview, then publish a link.

  • No subscription
  • Credits do not expire
  • A link when you publish

12:00What you get

Move, eat, don't hit yourself

The classic rules are enough for the first version.

  • Turn, don't stop

    Arrow keys and swipe. The snake keeps moving. A turn into the opposite direction should not kill you by accident.

  • Food and growth

    One piece of food at a time. Eating it grows the snake and adds to the score.

  • A faster snake

    Say if it speeds up as the score climbs. Start slow enough to learn.

  • The end of the run

    Wall or your own body. Show the score and a way to start again.

  • High scores

    A best score on this device is the start. A list other players can see needs the database unlock. The price is on the pricing page.

  • A link to play

    Publish to a build3.site address. The grid has to fit a phone.

12:00How it works

From a sentence to a link

You describe it, look at the preview, and publish when it is the one you want people to see.

  1. 01

    Keep the classic rule

    Move, eat, grow, die on a hit. Add a twist only after that plays.

  2. 02

    Eat ten pieces

    If it speeds up too soon, say so.

  3. 03

    Publish

    Share the link when a run feels fair.

12:00Questions

Before you start

Can I change the speed?

Yes. Ask for a slower start or a faster climb in the same project, play it, then update the published game.

How do I pay for the build?

You buy credits and spend them as you build. Nothing renews each month, and unused credits stay on the account. Pack sizes and what a prompt costs are on the pricing page. A small change costs less than starting over.

Can I use my own domain?

The build3.site link is included. Connecting a domain you already own is a separate unlock on that project. The price is on the pricing page. Build3 does not sell domains. You add the records at the registrar, and the free link keeps working too.
