Twin Trails
Play Twin Trails free online. Steer two snakes in two arenas with one set of controls. Left and right are mirrored, so plan every turn for both snakes at once.
How to Play Twin Trails
There are two arenas side by side, with a snake in each. Both snakes move at the same time and both follow your controls, but the right snake is a mirror image: when the left snake turns left, the right snake turns right. Up and down are the same for both.
Each arena has its own fruit. Eating a fruit makes that snake one square longer and scores 10 points, and the fruit score grows by 5 for every five fruit eaten.
If either snake hits a wall, a rock or its own tail, the game is over, so you have to keep both of them safe with every single turn.
Both snakes speed up with every fruit, and every six fruit a new rock appears in each arena to make the paths tighter.
Controls
Touch
- Swipe up, down, left or right on the game to turn the snakes.
Keyboard
- Arrow keys or WASD turn the snakes. P or Escape pauses, M mutes.
Tips and Tricks
- Keep both snakes near the middle of their arenas. Walls are the most common way to crash.
- Watch the snake that is in more danger. The other one usually has more room to spare.
- Up and down moves are the safest because they are the same for both snakes.
- Long tails are dangerous. Leave yourself a way out before you turn back on yourself.
About the Game
Twin Trails takes the classic snake game and doubles it. Your brain has to track two snakes at once while one of them moves the opposite way, which is much harder than it sounds and great fun once it clicks.
It is drawn in dark green pixels on a lime screen, like an old pocket game. Your best score is kept in this browser and can go on the Top 10 board.
Twin Trails FAQ
Why does the right snake turn the wrong way?
It is a mirror. Left and right are swapped for the right snake, while up and down stay the same.
What ends a Twin Trails game?
Either snake crashing into a wall, a rock or its own tail.
When do the rocks appear?
A new rock is added to each arena after every six fruit eaten.
Do the snakes get faster?
Yes. Every fruit speeds them up a little, up to a top speed.
