Cobra Blitz — Arcade
Grow the longest snake without touching walls or tail.
The short version: a starting step of 85 ms that tightens as you eat, and everything is tuned so a good run is earned rather than gifted.
If you have five spare minutes, Cobra Blitz will fill them. Everything happens on one screen with a starting step of 85 ms that tightens as you eat, and the whole thing runs straight in the browser - no downloads, no sign-ups, no fuss.
Cobra Blitz, round by round
Steering is the whole game: swipes on touch, arrow keys or WASD on desktop. The input queue accepts two turns ahead, which means a well-timed double turn can thread a gap that looks impossible at first glance.
Who Cobra Blitz suits
The loop is deliberately compact: one round takes minutes, improvement is visible, and the next run is one tap away. That makes it a reliable filler for short breaks - and an easy game to recommend to someone who 'does not really play games'.
How to play
- Press play - your snake starts small in the middle.
- Swipe or use the arrow keys to steer.
- Eat every pellet to grow longer and faster.
- Never touch the walls or your own tail.
Tips and strategy
- Hug the walls and keep the centre free as an escape lane.
- Never turn into a gap narrower than your current length.
- Chase pellets along the edge; cutting across the middle is how runs end.
- At high speed, queue turns early - the input buffer takes two.
- Long game? Spiral inward deliberately instead of chasing straight lines.
Who it suits: A good fit if you like games that are easy to start and honest to master: no tutorial, no menus to learn, just you and the board.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cobra Blitz free to play?
Yes - it runs entirely in your browser with no download, no account and no payment. Open the page and press play.
Does Cobra Blitz work on my phone?
It is built for phones first: portrait or landscape, one-thumb controls, and it runs fine on mid-range hardware. Desktop keyboard controls work too.
How is this version different from the classic?
This build has its own tuning - a starting step of 85 ms that tightens as you eat. Your progress and best score are saved locally on your device.
Is my progress saved?
Your best score is stored in your browser's local storage, so it survives refreshes. Clearing site data resets it.
Can I play offline?
Once the page has loaded, most of it keeps working without a connection, but for the cleanest experience play with the page freshly loaded.
