Zen Snake is a gorgeous neon-cyberpunk modernization of the beloved classic snake game. Navigate a glowing serpent around a responsive grid arena, eating energy orbs to grow longer while avoiding your own tail and the outer grid walls. The snake accelerates as it grows, turning a relaxed start into a frantic reflex challenge at high lengths. Clean mechanics, beautiful glow effects, and a deeply satisfying high-score loop.
