Rules
Rules for this mode
- The red ball periodically moves to another free cell.
- Walls and your tail remain active hazards.
- Eating the red ball adds 1 point and 1 growth section.
- A moved red ball does not cost a point.
Tactics
Three useful decisions
- Intercept from open space instead of following directly.
- Let a bad target move again rather than entering a trap.
- Use long lanes that survive a sudden change of target.
Start
Opening plan
Stay near open space and approach from a side with more than one exit. A wide lane lets you adjust when the red ball moves.
Watch for
Common mistake
Copying every red ball movement and folding the body into a series of sharp corrections.
Practice
Use three runs for one change
Use the first run to learn the board. Repeat the same opening on the second run. On the third, change only the turn that caused the previous loss. This makes it easier to tell whether the problem was the route or the input.
