Pro Gameplay Tips
Master these tips to dominate the arena.
Use Boost to Encircle Enemies
Stay close to other snakes to get a speed boost, then quickly move in front of them to force them to crash into your body. This is the core kill technique.
Be Patient, Avoid Greed
Don’t always go for the biggest energy orbs, especially in crowded areas. Safety first—steady growth is the key to success.
"Parasite" Tactic
Follow the longest snake on the map. It’s risky, but if it gets killed, you’ll have a chance to grab a huge amount of energy and grow instantly.
Use the Borders
Force enemies to the edge of the map to greatly limit their movement, making it easier for them to crash into the wall or into you by mistake.
