Playing as the largest snake in the arena is one of the most fun experiences that Snake.io<\/a> has to offer. However, some players prefer starting with a large snake instead of growing one from scratch. Other players also die too early and too often to gain any traction. In these cases, starting big right away has its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Snake.io<\/a> offers the \u201cStart Big\u201d feature which allows players to start the game as the biggest snake in the arena. Snakes that start big are also granted invincibility and a speed boost for a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how you can start big in Snake.io<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Install and Start the Game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to do is to download and launch Snake.io. This hypercasual game is available in many platforms, including the Apple App Store<\/a>, Google Play Store<\/a>, Apple Arcade<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Xbox<\/a>, and Nintendo Switch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use the \u201cStart Big\u201d Feature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After launching the game, you\u2019ll be taken to the game\u2019s Main Menu. Tap the button with a snake wearing a crown. This is the \u201cStart Big\u201d feature that lets you spawn in the arena as a massive snake instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enjoy \u201cStart Big\u201d Perks<\/strong>

At the start of the game, your snake is granted a few seconds of invincibility and a handy speed boost. You can use these to eliminate other snakes and pad your scores even more. You still have to be careful about bumping at the arena walls as the invincibility buff does not apply to wall crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players also have to be careful squeezing through tight spaces as a large snake. Here, Snake.io<\/a>\u2019s easy swipe controls work to your advantage. Additionally, the game features instant restarts that allow you to immediately get back into action if your snake is unexpectedly eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you\u2019re all set to start big. Use this feature if you want to instantly dominate the arena and have an easier time trapping other snakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
