Ball Snake is a snake vs block game: a snake made of balls rolls up a track full of number blocks. Each block takes as many balls as its number, each ball pickup adds more, and the snake needs at least one ball left to cross the finish line. If you have played Ball vs Block on Poki or the old Snake vs Block, you know the game — pick the gap, pick the cheap block, keep the snake long.
The snake vs block idea is one of the best one-finger games ever made: a short snake, a wall of numbered blocks, and only a split second to choose which one to break. Snake vs Block made it a hit on phones, and Ball vs Block keeps it among the most played arcade games on Poki today. Ball Snake brings the same game to the browser for free, with a 3D track, 200 levels and nothing to install.
Every row is a decision. A full row of blocks has to be broken somewhere, so you slide to the lowest number; a broken row with gaps lets you slip through for free; and the numbered balls between rows are the only way to grow back. Hitting a block costs one ball per point, ball by ball, and the block shrinks with every hit — so a block worth 12 eats a dozen balls, while the one next to it might cost only 3. Walls between lanes stop you from sliding across, so the route to the cheap block has to be chosen before the wall begins.
Ball Snake has 200 levels that grow longer, faster and tougher as you go. Each one is built around a route: the generator draws a planned lane for every row first, makes sure that lane is always affordable and that a pickup waits on it, and only then adds walls where the route does not cross. A bot then plays every level to the finish, so no level is unwinnable — but the greedy route is rarely the one that keeps the snake long.
Stars come from what is left at the finish: twenty balls or more earn three stars, eight or more earn two. Run out of balls and the snake falls apart — try again from the start of the level. The game runs on desktop, phone and tablet with no sign-up, and your level and stars are saved in the browser.
How to play Ball Snake
Reach the finish with balls to spare:
- Touch the track to start — the snake rolls forward on its own.
- Drag left and right to steer the head between the lanes.
- Eat the numbered balls to make the snake longer.
- A block takes as many balls as its number — slide to the smallest one, or through a gap.
- Walls stop you from changing lanes, so line up before they start.
- Cross the finish line with at least one ball left; more balls earn more stars.
Game modes
| Mode | What changes | Who it's for |

Tips for Ball Snake
- Look one row ahead: the cheapest block now is worthless if a wall then traps you behind a big one.
- Pickups before a full row are worth a detour — a few balls now save the run later.
- Gaps in a row are free; slide through them instead of breaking anything.
- Small moves are enough: the head follows your finger, so keep your thumb low and steer gently.
- Coming from Ball vs Block or Snake vs Block? Same rule — a block costs its number in balls — but here walls are part of the route, so plan your lane early.
Who made Ball Snake?
Ball Snake was built by crokocat game studio in 2026 — a browser take on the snake vs block game made popular by Snake vs Block and Ball vs Block, with a 3D track, a snake of balls and 200 levels checked by a bot.
About this game
- Controls
- Touch the track and drag left or right — the snake's head follows your finger, it never needs to be under it, so you can steer from anywhere on the screen. With a keyboard, hold the left and right arrows or A and D. The snake moves forward on its own; the run starts on the first touch or key press, and the bar at the top shows how far the finish line is.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ball Snake free to play?
Yes. Ball Snake is free on crokocat with no download and no sign-up — it runs in your browser on desktop, phone and tablet.
Is Ball Snake like Snake vs Block or Ball vs Block?
Yes, it is the same kind of game: a snake of balls breaks number blocks, each block costs its number in balls, and pickups grow the snake back. Ball Snake has 200 levels with walls, a 3D track and stars for a long snake at the finish.
How do I steer the snake?
Touch and drag left or right anywhere on the screen, or hold the arrow keys or A and D. The snake moves forward on its own.
What do the numbers on the blocks mean?
How many balls the block takes. Every hit removes one ball from the snake and one point from the block until it breaks.
Why can't I move sideways sometimes?
Walls between the lanes block sideways moves, and so does the side of a block. Change lanes before the wall begins.
Is every level possible?
Yes. Each level is built around a route that always has an affordable block and a pickup on it, and a bot plays every level to the finish.
How are stars counted?
By the balls left at the finish: twenty or more earn three stars, eight or more earn two, anything else one.
