Welcome to Sidewinder
Type letters to steer your snake. Want a 60-second tutorial?
Switcheroo 101
Sometimes the cells next to your snake have to swap letters to stay typeable. We don't hide it from you anymore.
When a cell heats up, it's about to switch to a new letter. You have ~3 ticks of warning.
- Yellow (3 ticks left)+20
- Orange (2 ticks left)+30
- Red (1 tick left)+50
- SNIPE (last tick)+100
The closer to switching, the bigger the bonus. Be brave.
