Repeat this, if you can, until all tiles are removed.

For each square there are eight adjacent possibilities.

Complete as many levels as possible without any collision. Control the snake using the Left, Right, Up, and Down direction keys.

Eliminate the robots before they eliminate you by causing robots to crash into one another or into a junk pile.
