Looking for a arcade game that starts instantly? Snaklaus runs in your browser and is completely free to play. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Snaklaus has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. A few things the tags reveal: dodging obstacles is the core mechanic; there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase; the structure is classic arcade — quick rounds, rising difficulty and a score to beat.
About Snaklaus

Your mission in Snaklaus revolves around collecting an abundance of presents scattered throughout the game environment.

The genre lives on a single, easy-to-read score, bright, readable visuals and difficulty that ramps steadily. Snaklaus understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Playing it works your rhythm and consistency, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Because this is a Snake game, spiral from the outside in; leave yourself a lane.
- Because this is a Avoid game, stay in the middle so you can move either way.
