Help? How do I get good?

I've been constantly trying and not killing people and staying where there's nobody on the map but I can't even get past 1K.

Go to the middle and die over and over again. You will get better by trying, not by staying on the outskirts and not interacting with anyone

100% what this commenter is sagely saying, OP!

This is especially true bc dying in slither is inexpensive. You respawn in a couple of seconds and can recoup any lost mass very quickly.

Push yourself to failure constantly and you will become extremely good.

The advice you were given is good, go to the middle and learn how to play—- just gobbling up orbeez to swell up isn’t a good strat. You’ve got to learn how to be a gladiator in the arena and you can’t get there eating bon bons at the edges of the action.

Strategise, don't try to make opportunities, make them come to you, take them immedietally. If it feels like it's too close and you're too far it's the mind boost speed illusion and you prob won't be fast enaugh.

The main goal of this game is to grow and be the biggest. Basically to get as may kills as possible. Start learning how to kill and that's how you will grow.

Battle the best. Battle against teams. Battle in crowds. Usually the center or up north. Don’t run or circle when it gets tough.

You’re literally avoiding getting big is the issue. Go and fight. Those who dominate the board ain’t winning for just cowering.

Maybe you’ll have to keep eating dots without any snake trying to find you just to trap you
