  • Eggs - that the snakes can lay in certain conditions

Snakes

Snakes are the main actors in this game.

  • Snakes are coming out of their dens one by one
  • Snakes can have at minimum 2 elements and at maximum 7 elements
  • Snakes from the blue team may slide on top of each other without collision
    • They may go head-on in opposing directions
    • They may also slide on top of each other
  • Snakes from the opposing team eat each other if they collide

Eggs

The snakes are also capable of laying eggs.

  • The eggs are laid from the tail side of the snake, and has the same color as the parent snake
  • You can observe the pregnancy progress on the tail element
    • The red snake is becoming pregnant all the time
    • The blue snakes are becoming pregnant only when their number is less than three
  • The eggs may be consumed by any snake from the opposing team

Frog

Once in a while, a green frog appears in the maze.

  • The frog hops randomly on the maze, however it loves to eat snake eggs
  • However, when there is an egg, the frog is gradually hopping towards the egg with the goal of eating it by landing on it
  • Both red and blue snakes may consume the frog

Strategy

The goal is to eat all the blue snakes. The main strategy is to become longer and to avoid colliding head-to-head with blue snakes equal in length or longer than the red snake.

  • Chase the longer blue snakes from the tail, because the red snake is slightly faster
  • In order to grow, eat the frog or any blue snake eggs if it's safe to do so
  • If you can, protect your egg from blue snakes or from the frog, both of which would very much like to eat it
  • In order to increment your lives between rounds, avoid winning the round if your egg isn't yet laid or you're not just about to
