Core rule

The serpent always keeps its full length.

Slither one cell at a time. Stretch across all four goal spaces at once—there is no countdown or time limit. Elapsed time is recorded only as a personal stat.

CURL · Coil blossom
Touch the flower with the head to curl the whole serpent into one compact coil.
STRETCH · Compass bloom
Reach this bloom while coiled; your next direction chooses where the serpent unfurls.
LOW · Reed tunnel
A long serpent can thread the narrow reeds, but a broad coil cannot enter.
Sunstones
Stretch across all four warm stones at once to complete the garden path.

Touch & pointer

Swipe within the board along its four movement directions, or tap the direction pad. Short taps on the board do not move the serpent. Scroll the page from outside the board.

Recoverable moves
