Survival Horror in 8-bit. The classic Nokia snake game, inverted. You control the food, and the Snake is an AI determined to eat you.

Reversed Snake is a free, open-source browser game built with Vanilla JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas. It flips the script on the classic retro arcade game: instead of guiding the snake, you play as the Apple.

The Snake is controlled by a sophisticated pathfinding algorithm (**A\* Search**) that ruthlessly hunts you down. As time passes, the snake grows longer automatically, making the grid increasingly claustrophobic.
