Scraboom: collect scrap before committing to a fight

Mass and magnetic abilities work together. Start by learning a safe collection route and keeping an escape path in view.

Play the game

Worked example

You see loose scrap close to a larger rival. Taking the shortest route puts you beside that rival; going around gives you room to collect and turn away. Choose the route with space rather than chasing every piece of scrap. This is a positioning decision, not a guaranteed safe zone.

Try this

Collect nearby scrap before seeking a fight.
Use Q for field boost when scrap is within reach; it strengthens collection rather than being Snake Race's movement boost.
Before pressing Space to split, check where the smaller parts will land and which rivals are nearby.

Common mistake

Splitting changes the mass of each part. A large total mass does not mean every separated part can safely approach a larger rival. Avoid treating split as a free escape button.

Practice

Compare two short attempts: one focused on collecting without splitting, then one using a deliberate split. Note what happened to your mass and your room to move.
