In '''Snake.io''', players control a snake that grows longer by consuming glowing pellets scattered throughout the game arena. The game starts with a small snake, and players use touch or mouse controls to navigate it.<ref name=":0" /> The snake continuously moves forward, and players steer it by dragging their finger on the screen or moving the mouse, adjusting its direction to consume pellets while avoiding other snakes. As the snake eats pellets, it increases in length, making it more challenging to maneuver without colliding with other snakes. If the player’s snake crashes into another snake, it disintegrates, leaving behind a trail of pellets for other snakes to consume. In multiplayer mode, players compete in real-time to become the longest snake, employing strategies like encircling opponents to force them into collisions or swiftly changing directions to evade traps.

The main objective of the game is to be the biggest snake in the server. A player has to start as a small snake, and aim to get bigger by eating pellets and defeating other snakes on the map. Snakes must not hit the wall or other snakes or else, they lose the game. Eating pellets alone makes the snake long at a slow pace, but by eating pellets off of a defeated snake makes the growing longer faster.

Skins range from simple designs to intricate designs featuring patterns, animals, or sometimes inspired by famous characters. Some skins are only available for a limited time during monthly live events.


Accessories like hats, capes, armors, and wings can add another layer of personalization on their snake. These accessories can be unlocked by spending in-game coins and diamonds.
There are two [[Joystick|joysticks]] placed on the left and right part of a player’s screen. The left one is used to dictate the movement of the snake. It serves as the navigator for the game and plays an important role in defining how fast a player responds to situations happening in the game. The right buttons  on the other hand can be pressed for a speed burst. It's called boost mode. Used to chase other snakes or quickly eat dropped pellets from defeated snakes.

During limited-time events, once the player reaches the top of the leaderboard, A boss level Snake will appear and chase the player. The goal of the event's boss level snake is to defeat the top player, the game also has a feature regarding how to defeat this boss snake. A player has to find a circled-shape area on the map and stay there at a given time. Once fulfilled, a special pellet will be fired to instantly defeat the boss snake.
