Serpento

About Serpento

In each level, the player steers a growing snake to eat all apples on the board. Once the last apple is gone, a door opens in the wall; the snake must then lead its entire body through that door to complete the stage.

The challenge comes from the layouts: 24 stages progress from open fields to narrow two-tile corridors where a single wrong turn traps the snake against its own tail. Pits teleport the snake across the board, often into immediate danger, and frogs hop away when approached, luring the snake into risky paths. Three speed settings change the reaction window, and four control schemes accommodate different playstyles. Each stage records a best score, inviting repeat attempts.

Tips to win

• Plan the route to the last apple so the snake's tail is stretched toward the door, avoiding a long reverse journey.
• Watch where the frog jumps; do not chase it into a corner or against your own body.
• In tight mazes, keep the snake short by eating apples only when necessary; a longer body makes navigation harder.
