Inky Snakes: Cut Off Rivals and Grow the Longest

What is Inky Snakes?

A snake arena drawn on paper, with dozens of snakes sharing the space and one rule that matters: eat and grow. Every rival that dies leaves a trail of pellets behind, and whoever reaches that spot first gains a lot in seconds.

How to play

Your snake follows the cursor or your finger around the arena, and the bright pellets in front of you stretch its length. If your head touches a rival body you are out, but if a rival runs into your body they are out and their scattered points are yours to collect. That makes the real tactic cutting in front of a fast rival and closing the road. Boosting burns a slice of your length, so save it for a cut or an escape.

Tips

• Stay away from the crowd while you are short, and pick up safe pellets around the edges to gain length.
• Make the cut in front of a rival head, not against its body, because tailing someone achieves nothing.
• The longer you get the more likely you are to hit your own body, so draw wide circles and avoid tight turns.
