About Slither.io
## How Slither.io works
The rules are three lines long. Eat orbs to grow. Avoid hitting other snakes with your head. Make other snakes hit you. Everything else in the game, every famous clip and every heartbreak, comes from those three rules meeting a server full of strangers.
Growth changes how you play. A short snake survives by dodging. A long one starts laying traps: coiling around smaller snakes until they have nowhere safe to put their head, or cutting across a busy lane so someone else becomes the wreckage. The orbs a dead snake leaves behind are the richest food on the map, so every kill site instantly becomes a feeding frenzy, which is exactly as dangerous as it sounds.
## Why it still holds up
The appeal is the same one that keeps arena games like EvoWars.io alive: everyone in the pit has the same tools, so every death is your fault and every kill is earned. Early game and late game barely resemble each other. The first minute is a quiet farming sim: eat, dodge, stay invisible. Past a certain length the map shrinks around you, because your own body becomes the maze, and one lazy coil can end a fifteen minute run. Respect that shift and you will live through it. What separates a snake that dies in the first minute from one that owns the top of the leaderboard is patience, spacing, and a feel for when to commit to a cut.
It is also a genuinely social arena in the way only .io games manage. You are not playing against scripts; you are reading dozens of strangers' intentions in real time, cutting off the greedy ones and giving the kamikazes a wide berth. No two rounds play the same.

Pro Tips
Follow big snakes at a distance: when they die, the feast is worth the wait.
Use boost in short bursts only. Boosting sheds length, so spend it on kills, not travel.
When you are long, trap with coils instead of chasing. A circle closes; a chase does not.
Controls
Mobile: drag a finger to steer, double-tap and hold to boost.
