Please make better versions or update this one pls… Ideas: Better versions. Make more music. Get rid of all ai. Stop the weird names. Make the bots have better names. A Chat to talk to people in. Real players. Invite players. Make your own worlds. (You guys are weird when you have the ai…) Thanks. 💜🙏🏻 ### 4/5 — Could better… *2026-08-16, version 2.3.5* This game is great and I recommend it but it is a bit laggy and the bots are really easy. ### 4/5 — Decent enough *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* The gameplay is decent but if you live in Orange County don’t get it is wayyyy to laggy I would recommend for people living in San Diego ### 3/5 — Great but.. *2026-08-12, version 2.3.5* I feel if we kill someone we should be the ones getting the food only cause everyone just steals your victory. It’s kind of annoying but good game. ### 3/5 — Mad ads *2026-08-11, version 2.3.5* I hate the ads and lags ### 4/5 — Glichy AAhhh *2026-08-09, version 2.3.5* This game is so laggy and you don’t need ai in this! ### 4/5 — I LOVE SLITHER.IO 🩷🩷🩷 *2026-08-09, version 2.3.5* This is an amazing game, but I have one thing to say why is online so glitchy when you have no Internet but AI is better can you make online? No Wi-Fi recommended because I have to literally? wait until my Internet is better to play online and I want to ask can the music be changed to like any song you want like songs from Spotify or something or like classic songs that are already from slither ### 4/5 — Developers pls read *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* The slithers are a little too hard to control. Other than that, it’s awesome! ### 2/5 — Controlling your slither *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* Okay,! Look this game is fun when making a large slither die and eatting him up and becoming large your self realy fast SUPER COOL BUT! Damn the controls your slither with your finger is good but only one your finger is down! When you lift your finger the game is NO longer accurate to your slither worm you’re all over the place!!! Once you come off your device! Slither.io fix this freaken problem!! Already and make better custom slither worms man!! Start posting up reviews player for a fix. Game on ### 3/5 — Everything else okay but… *2026-08-06, version 2.3.5* There is let’s of unkind names on the games and someone inappropriate ones! I love this games but the name an are just bringing the game down. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor joystick control *2026-08-18, version 2.3.5* This game would have been nice if the joystick was better ### 1/5 — REMOVE BOTS NOOOWWW *2026-08-17, version 2.3.5* WHY DOES THIS KEEP REPEATING, WHY IS IT PNLY BOTs!!!!?????THEY STEAL MY FOOD,KEEP CLOSING IN ON AND BOOP ME EVERY TIME???!!! REMOVE BOTS OR ELSE IM RATING THIS APP 1 STTTAAARRR ### 1/5 — Fake *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* Starting when you die, the game send you far away where the enemy is, but when you are big randomly appears a small guy and kill you, when the game don’t want you, weird yes, it’s weird, some people play this game in computer where you can control better the moves and if you are in an android or something Apple is more difficult, this game sucks, and when you kill the biggest boss other people eat your food when it should be yours but it’s not like that, because another randoms guys are just there waiting for food. And then something happened and they kill you. Funny this game sucks ### 1/5 — NTLBOT AND FRONTIER BOT CANT STOP PLAYING *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* ALL THE TIME I PLAY 7711 NTL BOT AND FRONTIER BOT ARE PLAYING, BAN THEM, AND KICK THEM, AND BLOCK THEM, PLEASE! ### 1/5 — I am never going to play this game again *2026-08-14, version 2.3.5* I hate this game it’s too chaotic for me everyone keeps killing me in the game I can’t even get to Number one it’s too hard so I just never going to play this game again even though it’s still download on my dad‘s iPad I’m just not going to play it again never download this is the worst ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-12, version 2.3.5* Fix the bugs! It kills you off w/o even hitting anything!!!!! ### 1/5 — This game is S!!T *2026-08-10, version 2.3.5* You heard what I said from my title ### 1/5 — 10 years later yet the lag is STILL NOT FIXED *2026-08-10, version 2.3.5* I remember playing this game as a kid, i loved it. I would spend hours playing, although sometimes it felt like it was too easy, since I was only playing on Ai mode. I tried every now and then to play online, with real people, just incase the lag had improved, but unfortunately this was never the case. 10 years later i stumble across this game again in the app store and think, hey! i used to love this game! i bet its easier to play now! but no. it’s exactly the same as i remember. THE ONLINE GAME IS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED YET?? ITS NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN BEFORE ITS EXACTLY THE SAME. WHAT THE HELL SLITHER.IO I HAD SO MUCH FAITH IN YOU. WHY 😔😔 downloading that new game “snake.io” even though i know this was the original. AT LEAST ITS ACTUALLY PLAYABLE. 😒 ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* This game honestly sucks. you go so slow and it is super hard to control where your “slither” is going. Please don’t get waste your time playing this off brand snake.io. Just get the real one! ### 1/5 — Why the music?!?!?🤬 *2026-08-07, version 2.3.5* I’m not trying to be mean but the music is lame!😒 I’m just so tired of hearing it all made up by you (liers) Among us is way better then your stupid music!!!!!!!!! Just quit it snake butts!🐍🍑 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-08-19, version 2.3.5* This is the only game where me and my friends can actually play together online because it’s really hard to find other online games so we can play together, but this one is amazing but I think something that would be really good for this game and would get more people to play is to do a voice chat, but it would be optional to turn it on and off. I think it would be amazing and the kids talking together, it would be so funny ### 5/5 — Tips *2026-08-18, version 2.3.5* First, hang around the big food fights and scavenge. Once you reach 1000 to 5000 u should leave bc when it gets to crowded I’ll get stuffed. Next find some big guys to battle preferably someone on the top 10. Once u reach second or third spot either wait out or annihilate first spot. Tips for defeating other snakes Little guys like to zoom. Anticipate their move and when the accelerate while turning cut them off. For snakes 500-3000 score, try circling around them or open head to head. In head to head I like to swing my head close then pull away when they swing at me. Doing a full turn while accelerating should end in them hitting ur neck if u did this right. It takes practice. Now snakes 4000+ score like circle up and protect their head. Either lure them out and attack or try round up and circle them. Remember big guys can’t turn quickly and u can easily loop their head. This is why they hide. I recommend using a Pc for this game. Bigger screen and the mouse gives better control of ur snake. Using my tips see if I can beat my personal online record of 68000. Thank u for reading. Play well! ### 5/5 — Very w game *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* Fun I’ve played it for 5yrs just so fun ### 5/5 — W *2026-08-13, version 2.3.5* top 5 childhood game ### 5/5 — I loooooooove the gammeeeeee *2026-08-11, version 2.3.5* It’s soooooooooo gooooooood ### 5/5 — How to play this game for five years but I’m playing this on my iPad seven *2026-08-09, version 2.3.5* I’ve been playing this game for a long time I’ve been playing this since I was like I don’t know for another very good oh my sister is a place you’d like on the leaderboard to somebody took her off the leaderboard and then I’ll put it on my iPad sevenAnd it’s fun ### 5/5 — Game *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* The og game ever ### 5/5 — Amazing game! 😀❤️😝 *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* Slither.io is such an nostalgic game! I used to play it back in 2018, and it’s still fun till this day. There are cosmetics you can choose from, an ai mode where you can practise your skills, you can change your background and so much more! But, what I love the most is.. even though they’ve added new features and evolved the game so much! You can still choose to go old school in the settings; choose the old graphics, old songs, and old animation. This game really is a keeper! ### 5/5 — I play this every day *2026-08-07, version 2.3.5* Still the best Game and it’s some how Free ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-06, version 2.3.5* I have been playing this game for 4 years it’s so fun. There’s no adds. But one thing that I wish will be changed: the snakes stop growing after a certain point. I wish they could just keep growing. But overall this is a awesome game and you should totally download it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
