About Snake Pit

Snake Pit is a multiplayer snake game for friends: everyone's a snake in one big arena. Eat the glowing pellets to grow, and cut across the others. Whoever runs into a snake crashes and bursts into pellets for everyone else, so curl round a rival and let them run into you.

Up to 20 snakes share an arena, and you can dash past a rival at the cost of a little length. In a regular round, crash and you're back in a moment, small again, and the longest snake at the end wins. In Last Snake there's no coming back: the arena closes in, and the last snake left wins. Rounds last 3, 5 or 10 minutes, at chill, normal or frantic speed.
