Slithering Around

One of my new distractions has been a fantastic new multiplayer game called Slither. Based on the traditional mobile phone game; Slither has no mazes but it does have a lot of other players which you have to avoid while gathering as much food as you can to make your snake grow. You can also convert other players into food by cutting them off and forcing them to crash into you; or if you're big enough; circle them so that they're trapped inside your mighty coils. There's a special turbo move that accelerates your snake at the expense of your size; allowing you to dodge or obstruct accordingly. And when a snake is converted; there's always a frenzy from the surrounding snakes as everyone tries to grab as much food as possible. I've been on the live leaderboard a few times now; and occasionally use even been at the top for a few minutes. Occasionally there's a bit of lag which makes the controls difficult; and the server has been know to crash a few times as well. But they've just updated the app version which will hopefully make it more stable. Go Slither.
