Eat, grow long and make rival snakes crash
Snake YO drops you into a dark arena packed with glowing pellets and rival snakes. Every pellet you swallow makes your body longer, and any snake that slams into another body bursts into a trail of food for whoever is nearby. The goal is simple: grow as long as you can without letting your head touch anything solid.
How to play Snake YO
- Steer toward the glowing pellets scattered around the arena to start growing.
- Keep your head away from the walls and from other snakes' bodies, because hitting them ends your run.
- When a rival crashes, sweep through the pellets it leaves behind for a quick burst of length.
- Watch the Dash meter in the top corner and save the boost for closing a trap or escaping a squeeze.

Tips to play better
- Spend the first minute grazing in a quiet corner; a longer body makes traps much easier to set.
- Turn in wide arcs instead of sharp zigzags so you never fold yourself into a tight knot.
- Never meet a bigger snake head-on. Loop ahead of it and let it run into your body instead.
- Treat the pellet clusters in the busy middle as bait; the scattered ones near the edges are safer.

Snake YO FAQ
What happens when a snake crashes?
Its body breaks apart into a pile of pellets that any nearby snake can eat. If it was your snake, the run is over, so keep an escape route open before chasing food.
When should I use the dash?
Use it as a finishing move to close a trap or to slip out of a tight spot. Dashing around without a plan is the quickest way to hit another body.
