Guide the snake to keep the ball in play. Destroy every brick to advance to the next round.

Avoid hazards, bricks, and walls. Most importantly, avoid yourself.

Defeat the final boss in the 15th round!

Use the on-screen D-pad or joystick, or an external controller, to guide the snake.

Use boost for extra speed to reach the ball. Watch the meter—boost is limited.

Different snakes have different speeds and boost capacity. If one doesn't work for you, try another class.

Eat apples to gain health and grow longer.

Eating an apple earns a Scale, which can be spent in the shop between rounds.

Scales are only carried forward when you complete the round. If you drop the ball or lose a snake, you'll lose any Scales you collected too. Play carefully!

Bricks get stronger as you progress, but so does the snake. Earn XP and buy power-ups to stay ahead.

Some snakes have better aim than others. The faster the snake, the less control they have over the ball.

Some bricks have an elemental charge and are even stronger. Try to destroy them first to stop them from launching hazards.

Elemental bricks and bosses will launch hazards that cause damage or affect your movement.

Lightning stuns, fire burns, earth slows, and ice causes slipping. Each snake class is stronger and weaker against different elements.

Hazards disappear after some time or if the snake collides with them, but it's best to avoid them!

Use special attacks to target the strongest bricks and bosses with an elemental effect.

One special attack is granted automatically each round. Up to five additional attacks can be earned by reflecting the ball with the snake's head.

Special attack range controls how many bricks are hit, and power controls how much damage each hit does.

Special attacks and power-ups have the same elemental strengths and weaknesses as snakes and bricks. Use them wisely!

Before each round, the shop offers a limited set of upgrades and items. The shop can restock for a fee.

Upgrades apply immediately and last for the rest of the run. Some items apply immediately; others can be used from the pause menu.

Prices increase as rounds advance and as you buy more, so plan your purchases.

Bosses appear every fifth round. Ignore the bricks and defeat the boss to continue.

Bosses use elemental powers too. Watch for weaknesses, resistances, and extra hazards during boss fights.
