VOLTSERPENT is the snake game the genre deserved: silky smooth movement, real skill expression, and a difficulty curve that starts gentle and ends in glorious chaos.


HOW TO PLAY

- STEER — Arrow keys / WASD (smooth turning) or drag on touch. No grid, no jerky 90-degree turns.

- EAT to grow: orbs +10, apples +25. Every segment you gain makes the arena deadlier.

- DON'T DIE — walls, your own tail, neon obstacles, and rival serpents are all lethal.

- Special foods: slow-mo apple (the world slows down), multiplier berry (2x score), ghost orb (phase through your own tail).

- Near-miss bonus: thread danger closely without touching it for CLOSE! bonus points.

- Combo: chain quick eats to multiply your score up to x5.


ZONES — EASY TO BRUTAL

- Zone 1 - Warm-up: open arena, wrap-around walls. Learn the moves.

- Zone 2 - Live Wires: walls turn lethal.

- Zone 3 - Obstacle Field: neon blocks + rival AI serpents hunting the same food.

- Zone 4 - Portals: paired portals rewrite the arena.

- Zone 5 - Collapse: the arena shrinks. Nowhere to hide.
