Hungry Snake

Hungry Snake is a classic snake game for Linux with a bright, cartoon arcade look. Guide a cute snake around a wooden board, eat apples, grow longer and don't bite your own tail or hit a wall. It is the retro worm game you remember, rebuilt with smooth movement, jungle scenery and plenty to unlock. Free, open source and ad-free.

Gameplay:

• Smooth snake movement that glides between cells, with buffered turns so quick key presses are never lost
• A run starts only when you steer, and the speed climbs gently and announces each step, so even a long snake stays in control
• Bonus food: a golden star for extra points and a mint leaf that trims your tail when you are boxed in
• A cute, expressive snake that blinks, flicks its tongue and watches the apple

Unlock and customize:

• Earn Coins just by playing and spend them in the Store on snake skins, board themes, apple styles and bonus food looks
• Six animated background scenes: jungle, sunset, twilight, ember, snowfall and aurora
• Scene-matched snakes, boards and apples that combine into one coordinated look
• Every standard cosmetic unlocks by playing; an optional Supporter Pack adds a few exclusive extras

Challenges and leaderboard:

• A new Daily Challenge every day with a streak to keep alive
• Achievements that pay out Coins for lifetime and single-run milestones
• An opt-in online leaderboard: pick a nickname, post your high score and see your global rank

Made for the desktop:

• Play with the arrow keys or WASD, use the mouse in menus, and toggle fullscreen with F11
• Six relaxing music tracks, crunchy sound effects and a performance mode for older PCs and laptops
• Offline gameplay with no account needed; the leaderboard is the only online part

A modern take on Snake, Nibbles and other worm games for anyone who likes casual, retro and offline arcade games. Works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, openSUSE and other Linux distributions, on Wayland and X11.
