 # Snake-Game
 The classic snake game. Made with pygame.
 
-You can check out my video tutorial series on how to create this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tvER0MT14s&t=2s
+The game features an arcade game style in which users control a block shaped snake with their arrow keys.
+The main objective is to get the snake to eat randomly populated snacks.
+In return, the player's score increases. The snake also grows longer and longer, making it harder to avoid collisions and running into one's self.
+
