Control a small snake in Snake.io and try to eat as many light dots as possible to grow in length, while avoiding collisions with other players' snakes.

Snake.io Gameplay

Each snake starts small and can grow by eating light spots that represent energy food scattered around the map. If your snake's head touches any part of another snake or yourself, you will be eliminated immediately and turned into food for your opponents. When a snake is defeated, its entire length turns into a string of energy spots, a great opportunity for those who have quick reflexes and good positions. The game continues continuously until you are eliminated. You can play again at any time to continue improving your ranking.

Tips to help snakes grow quickly in Snake.io

  • Wander around crowded snake areas to easily pick up food from collisions.
  • Don't speed up too much at first because the snake will shrink faster. Use speed up strategically when you need to escape or chase opponents.
  • Limit moving close to the edge of the map, as it is easy to be cornered and have no way out.
  • Focus on eating the large energy blobs from the recently eliminated snakes instead of scattering around to find small ones.
  • Once you're big enough, you can circle to trap small snakes, which is a popular attack technique that allows you to take down opponents without having to chase them.

Leaderboards and Maps

Leaderboards

The leaderboard displays the top 10 players in the match, updated in real time. Each name is colored and numbered, making it easy to see who the biggest threat is. Constantly tracking your position on the leaderboard helps you decide whether to play it safe to preserve your points or take a risk to turn things around.

Map

The minimap is located in the lower right corner of the screen, showing you and other snakes' positions as colored dots. The colored dots represent your position and the positions of other players, helping you see the big picture and identify crowded areas where there are many collisions and big eating potential. You can also stay away from areas where giant snakes are circling to hunt.
