ByteBuffer game

Snake

Steer the snake, grow longer, and chase a local high score—in Chrome’s side panel. Install ByteBuffer for a classic round without leaving your tab.

Add to Chrome
Alt Shift B Open the panel

Play Snake in the side panel after you install the extension. This page is an intro only—it does not run the game in the browser tab.

What it is

Snake is the familiar grow-and-turn arcade game. Pick up food, avoid the walls and your own tail, and try to beat the high score saved on this device.

It runs in the ByteBuffer side panel beside your work. Once cached, you can play Snake offline whenever you need a short break.

How to play

  1. Add ByteBuffer to Chrome from the Web Store.
  2. Open the side panel with the toolbar icon or Alt+Shift+B (Option+Shift+B on Mac).
  3. Choose Snake from the game list.
  4. Use the arrow keys or swipe to turn. Eat food to grow; avoid walls and your own tail.
  5. Press the same shortcut again when you want to close the panel and continue.

Why the side panel

  • Plays offline

    After Snake is cached on your device, you can keep playing with no network.

  • One-key close

    Close the side panel in one keystroke and return to the page you were on.

  • Stay in the tab

    No new window. The layout is made for a narrow column beside your work.

In the Chrome side panel

Install the extension to open ByteBuffer beside the page you’re already looking at. Snake and the other casual games appear in that panel—not on this marketing page.
