About Charles the Snake
Charles the Snake is classic snake with a twist that changes everything: only ONE color is safe to eat. Magic beans fill the maze in seven colors, but Charles may only eat the target color — one wrong bean and the run is over. The panel always shows which color is coming next, so every bite is a small plan: line up the next target, pick your route, and keep the streak alive. HOW IT PLAYS • Swipe to steer — smooth, continuous movement built for quick, deliberate turns • Eat the target color to grow, score, and promote the next color • Every bean makes Charles a little faster — how long can you keep up? • Chain quick eats to keep your scoring streak burning • One wrong bean ends the run. No second chances… almost. SPECIAL BEANS • The GOLDEN BEAN ignites a long golden streak — harvest bonus beans while it lasts • The SHIELD BEAN forgives one wrong bean and saves your run • Special beans never expire, and choosing when to grab them is half the strategy DARK MODE • Flip the moon switch and play the same rules at night • In the dark you see beans only up close — walls loom from farther away, and no arrows point the way • The NIGHT BEAN lights up the whole room for a few seconds • Dark mode keeps its own records, leaderboard, and tutorial LEVELS AND TALENTS • Every run adds to a lifetime level — 40 of them to climb • From level 2, each level earns a talent point • Spend them in a tree of 29 talents across three branches: Memory, Reflex and Planning • Longer streaks, a moment to turn away from a wall, a second shield charge, deeper sight in the dark — every talent sharpens something Charles already does • Four forks make you choose, so no two builds play the same A NEW MAZE EVERY RUN Every room is generated fresh — new walls, new routes, new escapes. No two runs are ever the same. COMPETE • Global leaderboard through Game Center — see where your best run lands • 20 Game Center achievements to hunt down • Your scores and stats, kept on your device • A built-in How to Play that shows every rule in seconds THE DETAILS • Free, with no in-app purchases • No account, no sign-up — install and play • Plays offline — no Wi-Fi needed • Play in 11 languages • An occasional ad may appear between rounds — never during play
