Snake

A snake plays itself while your chat feeds it apples and pelts it with bombs.

Snake is the game everyone already knows, handed over to your chat. You do not play it, and neither does any one viewer: the snake drives itself, and the only thing anyone controls is what lands on the board in front of it.

Gifts change the board, not a score

An apple is a real object dropped on a real cell. The snake has to reach it, eat it and grow, and a big gift can carpet the field with hundreds of them at once. A bomb is the opposite: it sits there as a hazard the snake has to route around, and eating one cuts several links off its body immediately. Nothing is an abstract number going up.

The snake is actually good at this

It keeps its body as a single loop with a hollow middle so the free space never fragments, then cuts across it to hunt fruit and retreats around its own receding tail when a route stops being safe. It plans a whole route before committing to it, which is what lets it clear a board carpeted end to end instead of walling itself in on the second apple.

Rounds end and start again on their own

A round is won by filling the board, and it can still be lost to a wall, its own body or running out of room. In practice a good run ends in a win: the planner is measured at zero deaths across twenty full rounds, so the tension is in how long the board takes to fill rather than in waiting for a crash. Either way the result card goes up, the score resets and a new snake starts, with the session win count carried across.

Your chat is the controller.

Viewers take part with the gifts and comments they already send in your TikTok Live. Here is how a round of Snake plays out.

Apples grow it, bombs cut itEvery apple a viewer sends is one more cell of body the snake has to carry. Every bomb is a hazard it has to steer around, and eating one drops several links at once and cancels whatever growth was still queued.
The snake decides for itselfIt hunts the nearest apple it can reach and still get back out of, follows its own tail when no route is safe, and will take a bomb deliberately when that is the only way to open space. No creator input at any point.
A board that fills upApples can cover every free cell, and the snake clears a carpeted field by sweeping it rather than lunging at whatever is closest. The more chat sends, the longer the snake gets and the tighter the board becomes.

Every trigger is yours to rewire.

Bind any action to a gift, comment, like, or follow, and set a minimum gift amount so only real support counts. Chain several triggers to one action, or point the same gift at something different. These are the actions Snake exposes, ready to bind however you run your show.

Common questions about Snake.

Who is actually playing Snake?

Nobody. The snake plays itself and your viewers change the board around it by sending apples and bombs. There are no controls for you or for chat, which is what lets it run for a whole stream without anyone at the keyboard.

What do gifts do?

Apples and bombs, and both are physical things on the board rather than points. Apples grow the snake and raise the score when it eats them; bombs are hazards it has to route around, and cost it several links if it takes one. You choose which gift sends which, and how many.

Can the snake actually lose?

It can, but it rarely does, and that is deliberate. A round ends if it hits a wall, crosses its own body or runs out of safe moves, and it wins by filling the board. The planner is measured at zero deaths over twenty full rounds, including on boards carpeted with apples and bombs, so most rounds end in a win rather than a crash.

What happens if chat sends hundreds of apples at once?

They land. Apples can fill every free cell on the board, and the snake switches from hunting individual fruit to sweeping the field methodically, which is the only way a carpeted board is survivable. It only places apples somewhere it can actually reach, so a gift is never wasted on a sealed-off pocket.
