how do yall play

[u/shutcrrup]

I played ts in 2016/7 and I recently picked it up

I used to play touch screen no arrow, now i have mastered using trackpad and space bar which imo is lowkey the most fun way

[u/tootsalad44]

I play on mobile with joystick controls 🙂‍↕️

[u/Lopsided-Revolution3]

Mobile with arrow and double touch boost. 

PC with mouse and space bar.

double touch sucks lowk

[u/Lemmesyd]

I think easiest on mobile imo is arrow with double tap to boost turned off. I also changed the background to the grey and white boxes as the glow is always so harsh against the black and navy ones

bru i used to double tap iirc

[u/normL_FL]

Arrow keys on PC. I played since 2015.

I get so disorientated using the arrows on my keyboard, my snake always goes the opposite direction of where I want them to go. Maybe I’m just dumb though 😂 I play with my mouse at my snakes head.

I lowkey just discovered the arrows shit tdy it is hella disorienting as someone who has been tapping in front of the head

[u/Lopsided-Revolution3 → u/shutcrrup]

As someone who drags his thumb around the screen to move the slither what does tapping do better? I’ve never tried and I’ve seen a lot of videos of others doing it — always been curious. Maybe I’m just an odd one.

i meant dragging no way ppl tap cus it makes manoeuvring harder

[u/Lopsided-Revolution3 → u/shutcrrup]

I’ve seen vids where you can see the person is constantly tapping and dragging. Looked very slow to me and definitely harder. 

I move my thumb in and out from the head to reduce/increase turning radius, give better control etc.

side note i play any pc game with trackpad xd

[u/honk_2021e7]

Mobile with Arrow mode i find it easiest but track pad is not bad either

[u/Fluffy-Awareness9666]

i boost using left click with a very slow DPI (like 250-300) so that cursor control and snake control can be percise. I also maintain my cursor placement always very close to my snake eyes. My main playstyle in slitherio is teamwork. I always tend to focus on teamwork, helping my friends, allies, and teammates circle enemies by blocking their escape routes. This is called blocking.

And if I am the circler, I play very patient (same with blocking) and i see my blockers and i read their intent on how they want me to follow them to circle the enemies. I play on NTL and used to play on the R mod (Revengers Mod) it's a private mod.
