Snake looks simple, but anyone who's played it on a Nokia knows the real enemy is you. These tips work in any snake game, including Jelly Munch.
1. Stay calm at the start
When you're short, almost nothing can hurt you. Use this time to eat quickly and get a feel for the speed.
2. Think one turn ahead
Before you grab a fruit, ask yourself: where do I go after I eat it? Fruit in a corner is a trap if you can't turn out of it.
3. Move in loops, not zigzags
Zigzagging fills the board with your own body. Big, wide loops leave space to escape.
4. Keep the centre free
Try to keep your tail near the edges. An open middle means you always have room to turn.
5. Follow your tail when you're stuck
Your tail moves away as you move, so chasing it is often the safest path out of a tight spot.
6. Don't panic-turn
Most crashes come from a quick double-tap in the wrong direction. One clean turn is better than three nervous ones.
7. Watch the walls in maze levels
In levels with blocks, the gaps between them are your roads. Plan your route through the gaps before you go for the fruit.
8. Use the edges as a safe lane
Running along an edge is a safe way to cross the board, as long as you leave yourself a way off it before the corner.
9. Grab bonuses only when they're close
Bonus fruit is tempting, but a long detour can trap you. If it's not on your way, let it go.
10. Take a break
If you've crashed three times in a row, stop for a minute. Snake rewards a clear head, and you'll come back sharper.
