Slither.io is one of the most addictive mobile games available for download to the iOS or Android platforms, and it is also available for PC. The game is a blend of the classic Snake game, in which players must eat pellets to grow larger for as long as they can, and an MMO game. Instead of playing against the computer or yourself, you will play against other real humans in the arena. The goal of the game is to create the largest snake you can before dying.

The gameplay of Slither.io is quite engaging. The game does require a stout internet connection to prevent lagging, which can easily cause frustration since the game operates in real-time. However, with the proper connection, the game is smooth and stable. Players will start off as a tiny snake near the center of the playing area, which is quite large by comparison. You'll only be able to see a small portion of the playing area on your screen, and your snake will travel around the arena looking for small glowing dots that act as 'food' for the snake.

Players will control only the direction in which the snake travels, but it is possible to temporarily increase your speed by giving up some of your length. It's imperative that a proper balance be struck and that players don't expend too much of their length simply to rocket aimlessly around the arena. The speed boost is meant to help with the competitive nature of the game, which is to get other snakes to run into the body of your own snake. You must also avoid hitting other snakes, or you will die and all the length that you've collected will be transformed into energy dots that other snakes can then eat.

While those basic rules encompass the majority of the gameplay, there are advanced tactics that experienced players can use to create larger snakes. Once your snake reaches a certain length, it will be possible for it to ensnare other snakes within a circular boundary by encircling smaller snakes with your larger one. Once the circle has been closed and there is no way for those smaller snakes to escape, the player can slowly decrease the size of their circulation with their snake, squeezing the smaller snakes until they have no choice but to run into the body of your larger snake.

Controlling your snake is exceptionally easy. The snake moves at a standard pace, so the player controls the direction by simply tapping the screen where you want the snake to go. It will turn to follow the location you have tapped, and it is fairly responsive with the right connection. Many players find it simpler to keep their finger on the screen and slide it around so it feels as if they are leading the snake.
