Step by step
How the game works
01
πŸ•ΉοΈ
Move your snake

Use the mouse to steer. Your snake follows the cursor automatically. Hold left click or Space for turbo β€” you move faster but lose size.

Eat to grow

Collect the cryptocurrencies scattered across the map. The bigger your snake, the more points you earn. Loot from eliminated snakes is worth double.

☠️
Avoid the toxic gas

A safe zone shifts around the map. Stay inside it. Step outside and the gas wipes you out instantly β€” your body becomes loot for other players.

πŸ’€
Eliminate opponents

Make other players crash into your body. Their head hits you, they die, and you get all the loot. Every kill gives a size bonus.
