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 GrowThe 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 SpeedBoost 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 OrbsBesides 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 SnakesOnce 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!
