Slither.io is a popular .io snake game. You must grow your snake by consuming multi-colored orbs in a giant multiplayer 🧬 arena. Avoid other snakes to avoid becoming snake food, or take other players down by forcing them to crash into 🧬 your side.
How to Play Slither
Do you like snakes? It's cool if you don't because these snakes are no threat to 🧬 you. The players controlling the snakes, though... They'll try to get you. Enjoy this twist on the classic snake genre 🧬 with Slither.io!
Like the classic game Snake that was available on cell phones and computers for decades, you grow by eating 🧬 small pellets. But Slither.io introduces a multiplayer element that changes the playing field entirely.
Eat and Grow
The glowing orbs are your 🧬 key to sustenance. By eating them, you increase the snake's size and gain more energy for boosting. The bigger the 🧬 snake, the better your chance to trap other snakes
You start the game small, so don't try taking on the big 🧬 boys until you've grown more powerful. Work on the strategy of eating and avoiding until you've acquired enough size to 🧬 take on smaller snakes.
Boost Your Speed
Boost is an important feature, but it comes at the cost of your size. This 🧬 method can be used when you are racing against snakes, once you have the perfect spot near the opponent's head, 🧬 make a sudden cut to eliminate it. Use the boost wisely to ensure you get maximum value for the cost.
Special 🧬 Orbs
Besides the regular orbs that are widely available around the map, there are two special orbs. When a snake dies, 🧬 they drop all of their glowing pellets. The bigger the snake that falls, the more plentiful the harvest. Finding these 🧬 orbs early can grow your snake quickly.
The other special orbs can occasionally be found floating around the arena. These floating 🧬 orbs will run away if you chase them, but it is worth more than the average dots around, so it 🧬 may be worth pursuing.
Capture Other Snakes
Once you acquire adequate size, you can circle around smaller snakes, trapping them and tightening 🧬 your grip, much like a regular snake would. If your size becomes gargantuan, you can even catch a multitude of 🧬 small snakes, leading to their inevitable demise and more nourishment for you!
