Slither.io is a variation of the traditional snake game. Like a traditional snake game, you grow longer as you eat food, and die if you touch another snake's body. Unlike traditional snake games, you can touch your own body, and when an opponent dies, they become food. The game was made for the browser and touch screen devices, the browser version is superior.
I first heard about Slither.io when a friend was playing it during a road trip. Having gotten tired of the snake genre of games twenty years earlier, I wasn't very interested. I tried it awhile later and found it to be an interesting take on the old standard, but still got bored with it pretty quickly.
Status
Review
- Overall: 4/10
- Best Version: Web Browser on a PC.
Good
- The game looks pretty good.
- I like that you can pick different snake body types, but they missed the boat making them purchasable or earnable.
Bad
- Relying on a touch screen means you will never have decent control over your movements. The developers tried making it better with variations on control, but they all have faults. The browser version uses a mouse cursor control which is a bit easier to work with.
Ugly
- The lag on wireless devices pretty much makes the game unplayable online unless you have a fantastic connection.
Links
- [1] - A browser version of Slither.io.
