The player controls a long, winding creature that navigates a grid-based environment, consuming adjacent dots to grow in length. The creature moves in a straight line, with turns only possible when encountering corners or intersections.
The objective is to accumulate a specified number of dots without colliding with the edges of the grid or itself. As the creature's length increases, navigation becomes more complex due to its own limited visibility and restricted turning options.
