Rattler

Snake in the backyard: eat mice, grow longer, dodge your own tail. Chase your record solo or race on your own yards – the longest snake wins. · At least 2 players

🐍 Goal: Eat as many field mice as you can – each one makes the snake one cell longer and a little faster. Your score is your length.

🎮 How it works: Steer with the arrow keys or WASD; on a phone, swipe or use the d-pad. Two turns are queued, a 180° reversal is ignored. The game ends when you bite your own tail. Solo, pause with the space bar, P or Esc.

🍽️ Hunger: After 34 steps without a mouse the snake loses its tail segment. Once only the head is left, it starves – so standing still does not pay.

✨ Gold mouse: After a meal a gold mouse sometimes turns up. It is worth three segments but is gone again after 40 steps.

🪵 Fence: Wrap-around (default): out over the edge and back in on the other side. Deadly: touching the fence ends your run. Personal bests are kept per variant.

🏁 Race: Everyone plays on their own yard, and the mice appear from the same sequence for all. Shared start after 3-2-1, no pause. Anyone offline for more than 15 seconds is out with their last length; the race ends after 15 minutes.

🏆 Winner: The longest snake wins; on equal length, the one that survived longer. Solo, you chase your personal best.
