Tips & Strategy
Think several moves ahead - avoid boxing yourself into corners
Create a spiral path to maximize space utilization as you grow
Save invincibility for when you're long and need to navigate tight spaces
Use gentle direction changes instead of sharp turns to maintain control
As speed increases, stick to the edges for more reaction time
