Snake tips for a high score
- Stay near the edges early, where you have more escape routes.
- Do not chase every apple in a straight line; plan the turn after it.
- When the snake gets long, move in wide loops instead of tight corners.
- Start on Slow speed to learn, then switch to Fast for a real challenge.
