Slither Arena
Steer a glowing snake around a neon arena, gobble orbs to grow and trick 18 rival bot snakes into crashing into your body.
Slither Arena is a neon snake .io game set inside a huge round arena packed with glowing orbs and eighteen named computer snakes. Every orb you swallow makes you longer and thicker, and the live top-10 leaderboard on the right shows exactly who you need to overtake to reach number one.
The rule is simple and ruthless: if your head touches another snake's body, you crash and burst into a trail of orbs. That works both ways, so the real trick is to boost in front of a rival and make them run into you, then feast on what they leave behind. Boosting burns length, so every sprint is a gamble. The bots wander, chase food, flee from giants and get bolder as the run goes on, and nobody hunts you during the opening seconds, so the start is calm while later minutes turn into a tense fight for the crown.
Each run adds career XP from your final length and kills. XP climbs through eight snake ranks and unlocks new skins, from Glacier to Inferno, which you can pick on the title screen. It suits anyone who likes quick snake arcade rounds with a progression hook. Tip: coil around a smaller snake and tighten the circle instead of chasing it head-on.
How to play
Steer your snake toward the mouse pointer, or turn with the left and right arrow keys. Eat glowing orbs to grow. Hold the mouse button, Space or Up to boost, which costs a little length. If your head hits another snake's body or the arena wall, the run ends; if another snake hits your body, it bursts into orbs you can eat. Your score is your final length. Climb the top-10 leaderboard and earn XP to unlock new skins.
