Slither Strategy, Tips And Tricks

Playing Slither.io is fairly simple.

1. Go to the web address Slither.io on a desktop computer or download the game from the Apple or Google Play store on mobile devices.

2. Select a user name. Once you sign in, you will land on a black board as a tiny colored worm.

3. Object of the game - consume the colored dots lying around to become a longer snake, while avoiding other snakes. Unlike Agario, the size of your snake in Slither.io doesn’t give you an advantage. In fact, any snake of any size can kill you. All they have to do is get you to head butt or eat any part of them. If you do run into them, you turn into a massive line of colored dots that the other snakes can gobble up.

4. Movement in the game is simple. On computers you will hold down the left or right arrows to navigate around. On mobile, tap your finger once in the direction you want to move.

Slither.io Tip #1: Eat And Dodge

In the beginning, you just basically just want to eat as much as you can to grow your size, but steer as clear of the bigger snakes as you possibly can – don’t get too cocky!

Slither.io Tip #2: Try the Wrap Around

When you reach a certain size, you’re going to want to try to fool other snakes into running into you so you can eat up the dots they become. One way to do this is to plan a wrap-around. With the wrap around strategy, you basically find a smaller snake near you and try to encircle yourself around it so that it has no other option but to run into you. Once you’ve gotten a ring around them, just keep circling till they have to run into you.

 Slither.io Tip #3: Try Dashing or Speeding

To dash on a mobile device you double tap then hold down on the screen or on the computer, dashing happens when you hold down the left-click button on the mouse. This causes your snake to dash quickly in a given direction until you let go. You do shed a bit of length in doing this but dashing can have its advantages.  For example, if you are trying to use the wrap around method, it’s sometimes good to dash forward to get in front of your target. He or she may then run into you, or it will make it easier for you to circle him or her.
