How to Play Slither.io
Move around the arena and collect glowing orbs to increase your size. When another snake is eliminated, it leaves behind pellets that provide more mass than regular orbs. You can also chase special floating orbs, which move away when approached and offer valuable rewards.
Use boost at the right moment to accelerate, escape danger, or outmaneuver opponents. Boosting consumes some of your mass, leaving pellets behind that you can collect again. Stay alert, avoid collisions, and aim to become the longest snake in the arena.
