Slither io is a popular online snake-hunting game, combining the simple mechanics of the classic snake game with online competition.

Controlling the snake

Use the mouse to move the snake (follow the mouse cursor).

Left click or space bar to accelerate.

Objective

Eat glowing balls (orbs) to make the snake longer and bigger.

Avoid hitting the heads of other snakes; otherwise, you will lose and turn into orbs for other snakes to eat.

If you make your opponent crash into you, you can eat all of their orbs to grow faster.

Basic strategy

Eat safely: at the beginning, eat small orbs to grow bigger, and avoid rushing into the crowd.

Hunting: when bigger, find a way to "block the head" of other snakes so they rush at you.

Surround: when the snake is long enough, you can wrap around smaller snakes, forcing them to lose.

Smart acceleration: only use acceleration when you need to attack or dodge, avoid overusing it.

Tips

Always pay attention to the center of the map: crowded → many dangers but also many orbs.

The outer circle is usually safer for beginners.

Don't be greedy right away, sometimes the opponent will lure you into the "trap".
