Tips

Follow the trail.

Wandering around the field only to find no other snakes? Find your potential prey by all means since you can't be the only creature there! If you see a line of orbs, that's the trail left by another snake when using boost, which indicates the direction it's heading to. Swallow the orbs, and start hunting!

Use boost wisely.

As mentioned before, you'll leave some orbs after using boost, which means you're turning a part of the snake's body into energy that is consumed by boosting. Each time you boost, the snake's shorter. Be that as it may, the snake's body is long enough that the last thing you need to worry about is the length. You might be careful as the faster the snake goes, the faster it hits the others.

Swallow the glowing orbs and their hunters.

At times you'll catch sight of glowing orbs. It seems like they're alive as they run away from being hunted. Snakes might enable boost to catch them since the gains outweigh the losses. Of course, you can chase them, but an alternative or a wiser choice is to ambush the chasing-orbs player. As a result, the glowing orbs and the hunter is all yours!

Circle the orbs before swallowing.

If you come across a goldmine of orbs, the first thing that comes to your mind might be eating as fast as you can. However, as other players might be on their way as well, you might lose the treasure in no time. Hence, you might circle the orbs and enjoy them unhurriedly.
