When you're just starting out, you'll only see a small portion of a giant snake passing by. Everyone is going to be gunning for you.Īnother tricky aspect of getting big is the change in perspective. Once you become a giant snake - and especially if you reach the top 10 - you're going to have a big target on your back. Take the safe route first, then double-back to investigate. Meanwhile, the rest of the snake might be prime for the picking. Since all snakes get cut off at the head, you know there's definitely one or more snakes trying to get all the orbs, so you're bound to run into them (hopefully not literally) if you go towards the head. That's where you rush in and gobble up as many orbs as you can.Īlso, if the big guy gets taken down while you're tracking farther back, you'll want to jump in and gobble up as many of their orbs as you can - but head towards the tail first. Big snakes attract a lot of attention and are typically good at taking out other snakes.

If you stumble across a huge snake but are nowhere near its head (that you know of… we'll talk about the scale of this game later), just travel in the same direction as the big guy. When you're a small snake (say under 1,000) and you stumble across a massive snake plugging way, you might want to stick around it for a while - for a couple of reasons, actually. While you probably won't get as many orbs as you would if you just boosted right through, this is a safer strategy that might also lure foolhardy boosters right into you, which just means more orbs for you.

Your best strategy is to use your snake's body to create a barrier around the orbs as fast as you can, then loop back and collect the orbs. Whether you've personally taken down a big snake or simply stumbled across a goldmine of orbs, you shouldn't just glide straight through it all, since that leaves you vulnerable to being cut off from someone coming the other way. Following the tail-end of a giant snake? It's only a matter of time before they start spewing out orbs, plus you're in a prime position if they go down.

For starters, it's a fairly quick way to find a steady stream of orbs when you're just starting out, and it can help you find other snakes. Following orb trails is a good idea for a number of reasons. When you use boost, you lay out a path of orbs behind you. Learn more with iMore!
