# Garden Snake: Overview

```fantasy
You are a garden snake with an appetite bigger than the garden, growing longer with every fallen apple until there is no room left for you.
Feel: hungry, tidy, inevitable.
NOT: violent, rushed, cluttered.
```

Classic snake, expressed faithfully: no twist, no variant rules. A
snake moves through a walled garden, eats the one apple on the
ground, and grows a cell longer for each one. The run ends when the
head hits a wall or the snake's own body. It ends in victory when the
snake fills the whole garden. The score is the apples eaten.

There is no menu, level, upgrade, or second mode: a finished run
announces its score and offers a fresh garden.
