Snake 2048: Merge Cubes
Snake meets 2048. You start as a single cube with a 2 on it. Everything else on the arena is food, a threat, or both.
How it works
Drive over loose cubes and they join your tail. The body always keeps itself sorted, biggest at the head and smallest at the tail, so a picked-up cube slides into place by size. When two equal cubes end up next to each other they merge into one worth double, and that can set off a chain: grab a lone 16, it becomes 32, that meets your 32, becomes 64, and the wave runs all the way to your head.
Sixteen snakes, one arena
Up to sixteen players share one field, and every empty seat is filled by a bot that farms, hunts, flees and cuts corners. Join alone and the arena is already busy. Bring friends and the bots step aside for them, one seat at a time.
Touch a body with a bigger head number and you slice the tail off, taking every cube you can swallow. Ram a bigger head and it is over, same as the wall. Boost buys you two seconds of speed, but you turn slower while it lasts, so it is as much a risk as an escape.
Four power-ups
Magnet pulls every loose cube within 600 units straight at your head for eight seconds.
Ghost gives you five seconds of passing clean through other snakes. They cannot cut you, you cannot cut them.
x2 Merge makes merging skip a tier for ten seconds, so two 2s become an 8 and a good chain goes somewhere ridiculous.
Freeze drops everyone around you to 45% speed for three seconds. Everyone except you.
And watch for the divide markers: touch one and every cube you own is halved. That is what keeps the leader beatable.
Controls
Mouse only. The head follows your cursor, hold left mouse button to boost.
Progress
Coins from every run, twelve cube skins to unlock, and a start boost that drops you into the arena at 64 instead of 2. Global leaderboards track your biggest cube and total kills, and there are 27 achievements to clear.
How far past 2048 can you get?
