Cobra Blitz

If you have five spare minutes, Cobra Blitz will fill them. Everything happens on one screen with a starting step of 85 ms that tightens as you eat, and the whole thing runs straight in the browser - no downloads, no sign-ups, no fuss.

Cobra Blitz, round by round

Steering is the whole game: swipes on touch, arrow keys or WASD on desktop. The input queue accepts two turns ahead, which means a well-timed double turn can thread a gap that looks impossible at first glance.

Who Cobra Blitz suits

The loop is deliberately compact: one round takes minutes, improvement is visible, and the next run is one tap away. That makes it a reliable filler for short breaks - and an easy game to recommend to someone who 'does not really play games'.

How to play

1. Press play - your snake starts small in the middle.
2. Swipe or use the arrow keys to steer.
3. Eat every pellet to grow longer and faster.
4. Never touch the walls or your own tail.

Where it sits

Grow the longest snake without touching walls or tail.

A note on the stamp

Cobra Blitz is filed under Arkad Column, and the decision comes down to one tag set: arcade, survival, classic. Those three words are the whole reason it is not sitting somewhere else.

Mechanically it stays close to its tag set — arcade, survival, classic — and does not add a second system on top, which is why it survives repeated play better than it looks like it will.

The companion game to try afterwards is Snake Blitz: same family, different emphasis, and together they show what the Arkad Column is actually good at.
