Take Your Snake Gameplay to the Next Level with Google Snake Mods

Chances are if you’ve used the internet in the past couple of decades, you’ve encountered the classic Snake game. That familiar grid of pixels where you maneuver a snake to gobble up treats without running into walls or its ever-growing body. Simple yet addictive fun.

Google put its own spin on this retro game with Google Snake, playable right in the browser search bar. While the core Snake concept remains, Google’s take adds elements like map variety, daily challenges, and global leaderboards.

As fun as vanilla Google Snake is, the gameplay can be taken to the next level with Google Snake mods. Much like gameplay mods for PC games, Google Snake mods are user-created customizations that tweak and overhaul aspects of the game.

Curious what modded Google Snake looks like? Let’s slither in and check out some popular options!

Must-Have Google Snake Mods in 2024

Let‘s slither through some of the most popular Google Snake mods changing up the game in creative ways…

1. Menu Mod

With over 52,000 downloads, Menu Mod is one of the most installed Google Snake mods. And for good reason — it unlocks a full suite of customizations:

• Snake speed and size
• Background colors and grid lines
• Fun skins like light cycles and caterpillars
• New obstacles like walls, portals, and powerups
• Board size adjustments and no wall modes

Basically, Menu Mod lets you tailor nearly everything to your preferences for the ultimate Google Snake experience.

For those who prefer darker interfaces, Dark Mode delivers slick black, gray, and dimmed color schemes. It also includes color filters to get the vibe just right.

Dark Mode saw a surge in 2022, with over 18,000 downloads giving Google Snake a sleek makeover. The developer continues releasing refinements like animated backgrounds and better Safari support.

3. Mouse Control

One of the highest quality of life improvements is Mouse Control. As the name suggests, this mod ditches confusing keyboard controls and lets you simply guide your snake with your mouse.

Mouse Control skyrocketed from around 8,000 downloads in 2021 to over 31,000 downloads in 2022. Players clearly love controlling Google Snake with the precision of a mouse rather than tapping arrow keys.

As of 2022, Time Keeper bookmark imports sit at over 10,000. Players competitively pushing for new personal bests have propelled installations.

6. Invisible Snake 💨
