Over time it was adapted to other platforms, in particular, to personal computers and later seen in many browser games.
Since then, game developers have created many Snake game varieties and the style has completely changed. The game mechanics have also evolved to support bigger [multiplayer](https://www.y8.com/tags/multiplayer) worlds. however, the main point of the game has remained the same, the player controls a snake and collects food (or other objects), avoiding a collision with its own tail, the walls, and other snakes. Each time a snake eats a piece of food, it grows longer. The player controls the direction of the snake's head movement having 4 options: up, down, left, right. The snake's tail follows behind. Also, you can not stop the movement of the snake.
