💡 Top Tips for Beginners

✅Never extend far from your base — your exposed tail is your biggest vulnerability
✅Make small quick loops near your territory rather than big risky ones
✅Cut off opponents by circling behind them when they are extended
✅When large, patrol your territory borders to catch enemies sneaking in
✅Speed matters — faster players can cut off slower ones mid-extension
