Bored of Slither.io ? Are you missing new features and skins to continue enjoying this massively multiplayer title? Well, here we present the solution: Splix.io . Yes, another one of those games finished in .io that ensures hours of vice and fun with simple mechanics and directly through your computer's browser. A different mechanical and agile items that ensure a fair number of hours of entertainment.
It is a game of skill that will remind those who have gray hair of a certain Commodore game , but that draws directly from the philosophy of Slither.io. First of all because the protagonists are still a kind of snakes . Second because it is played on the same map as other players around the world to create real rivalry. And thirdly because it has other additions such as customizing the game pattern after sharing a comment on social networks about the game, or because its games are fast and frustrating.
The idea is simple: conquer as much of the mapping as possible . To do this we control a point that can move in any direction on the grid. Behind it, this point leaves a trail that will delimit the conquered area once we return to a terrain of our own color. That area, once completed, adds to our color and our score , making us climb in the leaderboard of the title. Up to here everything is more or less easy.
The problem is that we never play alone , and the presence of other players who also want to conquer ground will keep us on guard throughout the game. It is enough for another player to cross our trail to mark us a Game Over . We are only safe when we stay within an area of our color . Of course, we do not need enemies to die, we will also end the game if we come across our own wake . So you have to think carefully about each movement before carrying it out and, above all, be cautious.
With this in mind, the game unfolds by sneaking out of our comfort zone . Small bites to the ground will allow us to change the pictures to our color without risking too much. Little by little, a larger area of its own is being achieved, but without losing sight of the fact that it will have to be defended from other enemies .
The funniest thing about Splix.io is that there can be battles between players . When two areas that have already been conquered adjoin, dives into enemy terrain will create real moments of tension , especially if we see that the enemy is nearby and wants to cut our wake to end our influence in that area. Frantic battles that will end the patience and nerves of more than one player.
Another difference from Slither.io is that Splix.io is played directly and only with the keyboard arrows . After all, the terrain is quadrangular, and there are only four possible directions to go with these arrows.
The game can be enjoyed completely free of charge through any Internet browser. Of course, every certain number of games, an advertisement is introduced before giving way to a new one. Will Splix.io be as successful as Slither.io ?
