01 // CONTROLS

Controls

  • You cannot instantly reverse into yourself

02 // STEPS

Step by step

  1. 01

    Ready up in the arena

    Both players join and ready — snakes spawn on opposite sides.

  2. 02

    Steer continuously

    Change direction in realtime. Plan turns early; reaction windows are tight.

  3. 03

    Eat to grow

    Collect food pellets to grow longer and score.

  4. 04

    Use the wrap

    Leaving one edge brings you in from the opposite side — walls don’t kill you.

  5. 05

    Avoid collisions

    Hitting your body or the enemy snake eliminates you.

  6. 06

    Claim victory

    Be the last snake standing — or the stronger scorer when the round ends.

03 // EDGE

Pro tips

  • Cut off your opponent’s escape routes.
  • Wrap ambushes work well near the edges.
  • Don’t overgrow into a pocket you can’t exit.
