About Snake Duel
Snake Duel takes the familiar grow-by-eating formula and turns it into a head-to-head arena battle. You slither around collecting food to get longer while rival snakes do the same, and the goal is to outmaneuver them until you're the last snake standing. A well-timed boost can help you cut someone off or slip out of a tight spot.
You can play on your own or take on a second player in the 2 Player mode, where each person gets their own set of keys on the same keyboard. That local multiplayer makes it a great option for friendly rivalries on one computer. Completing challenges unlocks new looks for your snake, with 40 skins in total, so there's always a reason to go for one more win. Rounds are quick, intense, and easy to jump back into.
