Everything about SNAKYS explained
The game & the goal
How the game works
You and the other players spawn in random locations on the map.Every player automatically moves forward and draws a line with small,
randomly occuring gaps as its path. If you run into any line or a border, you die.
You can avoid this, by changing the direction, you are moving or using abilities.
How to win
The goal is very simple:Earn the most points, by killing others and staying alive for as long as possible.
One of the best ways for staying alive and earning points is, by excluding yourself and outliving the others
- but watch out for abilities of other players!
One teleport can ruin your whole round...
On the other hand, you can try and kill.
How not to die
There are basically only 2 ways to die in SNAKYS.
You can die by running into your line or into the line from others, or
by hitting the border of the map.
So try and avoid that - just as a tip.
Abilities
Basics

Points & Coins
Points are the score of SNAKYS. Points determin your final ranking on the leaderboard.Coins are the in-game currency of SNAKYS, you can use them to buy abilities, that give you advantages in-game.
Earning points
You earn 1 point for each player you outlived.If you manage to win a round, you will be rewareded with another 2 extra points, for winning. In case you didn't earn points for a while or are far behind others you may gain a comeback multiplier, so not everything is lost.
Earning coins
You start with a capital of 100 - 400 coins, depending on the game settings. You're rewarded 100 coins per round you play. For every player, that you outlive you will be given 50 extra coins. You gain 50 coins for every kill you make, except yourself.You don't earn coins through direct kills using abilities (i.e. "Random death"). If you play risky and try to go through the small gaps in lines, you will be given 50 coins. In case you win, you will recieve another 100 coins.
