About this game

Snake Merge is a casual arcade game that fuses a classic snake with the doubling logic of 2048. You steer a cheerful snake whose head carries a number, starting at two. The arena is full of numbered tiles. Crush any tile smaller than your value to score points and feed a growth meter, hit a tile equal to your value to merge and double, and never let a bigger tile touch your head, because that ends the run instantly unless a shield soaks the hit. Every crush and merge feeds a combo meter that climbs to five times inside a three second window, so chaining pickups quickly is where big scores come from. Every twelve seconds a number tide washes two to four fresh tiles in from the walls, and a fair supplier keeps the field stocked so a smaller or equal tile is always reachable. Magnets, shields and double score pickups appear often enough to plan routes around. Milestones mark your progress: merging up to sixty four earns one star, two hundred fifty six earns two, and one thousand twenty four earns three. A daily challenge with a fixed UTC seed gives every player the same tile sequence, an independent best and a streak that grows on consecutive days, and a share card turns your merge chain into something you can post.

How to play

Press and drag anywhere to steer, or use arrow keys and WASD. Crush tiles smaller than your number, merge into equal ones to double, and dodge everything bigger. Shields absorb one deadly hit.

Tips & Tricks

  • Chase the equal numbers first, because a merge doubles your head value and every later score with it.
  • The combo window lasts three seconds, so plan a short route that chains two or three tiles quickly.
  • Grab the magnet when the field is crowded with big numbers, it pulls every edible tile toward you.
  • Save the shield for the moment right after a doubling, when the old big tiles turn into traps.

Frequently asked questions

Can I survive hitting a bigger number?

Only once per shield. A shield pickup absorbs one deadly hit and grants a short invulnerability, but a second bigger number without a shield ends the run immediately.

How do milestones and stars work?

The game tracks the highest value you merge to in a single run. Sixty four earns one star, two hundred fifty six earns two, and one thousand twenty four earns all three.

What is the daily challenge?

Every day a seed derived from the UTC date fixes the tile sequence, so everyone plays identical spawns. It has its own best score and a streak that grows when you play on consecutive days.
