1. The Ultimate Guide to Slither App Game
By Nalts
Introduction
Your goal in Slither is to become a giant snake by eating dots and the bright
“Essence” of your dead opponents. Avoid running into other snakes (except for
yourself) and maneuver by touching the part of the iPhone screen where you wish
to go. To propel quickly on iPhone, click twice and hold that second click (or hold
mouse on computer). Get to the top of the Leader Board or maximize your Meat
score, but as you gain size you will lose agility and become prey to hostiles.
Vocabulary
Sperm Cell The tiny state of your worm when you begin
Battlefield The action area, with the cross hairs marking center
Essence Bright glow of your dead opponents. Eat it.

2. Strategies
As the game begins, you are usually a Sperm Cell for a good 15-30
seconds before you see action. Avoid other snakes as you capture
colorful dots and Butterfly Amoeba. This will grow your Meat and
allow you to propel quickly (which reduces your Meat).
 Dots alone won’t get you far. Work yourself into Rush Hour, which is the
center of the Battlefield indicated in the crosshairs.
 Leach by following a giant snake in hopes
their death can provide you a delicious
entrée of Essence. But watch out because
your opponents will fight to gorge. This
usually causes a multi-snake collision, which
provides lots of tasty Essence if you’re adept.
 Gather enough size to propel and if you’re brave you can try cutting off
larger, less-nimble snakes. Follow beside them, then quickly speed up and cut
them off. Then gorge on their Essence.
 Your own tail is your best defense because others can’t cross it. Cruise along
the side of a larger snake and when they die, you can pull a quick U-Turn to
devour their Essence. More importantly, you can move safely along the
protection of your own body.
Watch your rank in the game. Once you’ve grown
beyond the rank of #50 you may have enough size to
circle another snake. This “Python Grip” allows you
to kill your opponent and gorge safely on his
Essence in your protected circle.
As you get huge, stay to Battlefield’s perimeter. You
won’t be nimble and you’re prey to small snakes. If
you’re about to die, run off End of Earth you will
leave no Essence for your greedy opponents.
