GET INTO THE GAME

How to play

Choose joystick or follow-finger on touch. Mouse or arrows steer; hold Boost or Space to speed up.

Full controls & rules

On a phone, choose Joystick or Follow finger before playing. Joystick uses the fixed control at the lower left; hold Boost with your right thumb. Follow finger steers toward the place you touch on the arena. Releasing keeps your heading. On PC, move your mouse to steer, or use WASD / arrows. Keeping the cursor near your head holds a straight course. Hold the left mouse button, Space, or Shift to boost. Boost spends length and stops at the minimum size. Crossing your own body is safe. Touching another snake with your head or crossing the outer boundary ends your run. A brief spawn shield protects new arrivals from rival collisions. Fallen rivals leave collectible energy. P or Escape pauses; Finish run saves your current score. CPU opponents only.

About the game

Collect glowing energy and weave through a living arena of CPU snakes. Grow your coil, cut across rivals, and gather the energy they leave behind. Boosting makes you faster but spends length. Three difficulty levels change the number, speed, and behavior of rivals. Choose your color, watch the minimap, and climb the arena standings. Solo play with CPU opponents; no live multiplayer. Local bests are saved, with shared score leaderboards for named players.
