Hacker Snake | Hardcore HTML5 Arcade Snake Game

HACKER SNAKE – a hardcore retro “hacker on a circuit board” take on the classic snake. Slither across a live PCB, dodge mines, saws, turrets and drones, grab weapon diskettes, and breach the KERNEL boss. Adaptive: Mobile, Tablet, Desktop.

How to play: Steer the snake with the arrows / WASD (or the on-screen D-pad). Collect data cubes to fill each level’s quota and unlock the next. Hitting a wall doesn’t kill you instantly — it costs tail and reverses you. Grab the red diskette for bullet-time + laser, blast enemies, and survive 16 levels of escalating hazards to reach the final boss.

Used technology: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (no libraries, no dependencies)
