Hoopsnake guide

STEP BY STEP

1. Steer the snake to eat apples and grow.
2. Curl your body into a closed loop around food to catch it all at once.
3. Eat quickly to build your streak multiplier.
4. Clear Journey levels to unlock new chapters.
5. Try the Daily challenge and the twelve modes for new rules.

CONTROLS

• Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD steer, Space or P pauses, M mutes, R plays again, Escape goes back.
• Touch: swipe anywhere on the board, or use the on-screen pad.
• Gamepad: D-pad or left stick steers, Start pauses, A confirms, B goes back.

DIFFICULTY

Easy to learn; later Journey levels, Sprint and Grandma Coil's Trials are demanding.

STRATEGY

• Plan a loop before you are surrounded — big hoops need space.
• Use the walls to help close a hoop safely.
• Slow down in Zen mode to practise loops.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES

• Closing a loop with your head pointing into your body.
• Growing too long in small boards.
• Chasing single apples when a loop would catch several.
