Coil
Steer an ever-growing coil to gobble dots without biting your own tail.
How to play Coil
You steer a growing coil around a walled board. Guide its head onto the glowing dot to eat it.
Every dot you eat makes the coil one segment longer and nudges the pace up a notch.
The run ends the moment the head hits a wall or crosses any part of its own tail — so the longer you get, the tighter the squeeze.
Your score is the number of dots eaten. Beat your stored best and it updates instantly.

Tips
- Plan turns a cell or two ahead — at speed there's no time to react at the wall.
- Hug the edges early to keep the middle open for when the coil is long.
- You can't reverse straight back into your neck, so commit to clean 90° turns.
- Leave yourself an exit before diving into a tight pocket for a dot.
About Coil
Coil is Navritto's take on the classic snake arcade game, rebuilt for the browser. Every run starts short and slow and turns into a test of nerve as the coil grows and the board fills in. It plays instantly with no install or account, works with the keyboard or touch, and saves your best score on your device. Coil is the first game that went live in Navritto Games and the proving ground for the shared feel — the glow, the juice, the feedback — that the rest of the games are built on.
