Tips & Tricks
- Trap smaller snakes by circling them quicklyโthey'll crash into your body and boost your growth instantly.
- Stay near the edges of the map early on to avoid aggressive mid-field encounters while building your size.
- Watch your tail position carefully; skilled players exploit tight spaces to force you into crashing.
- Pursue glowing pellets in quiet areas rather than fighting for kills in crowded zones to grow steadily.
