As a player gains momentum, they’ll also pick up seeming random power-ups that increase speed or even let them pass through walls.

Generally speaking, always dive right toward any tail you see because you’ll either steal flames from an enemy or pick up a +5 bonus from touching a friendly tail. It's all about collecting Spirit Flames across the map. This 4v4 arena duel is part Snake and part Slither.io. That being said, if any enemy wanders too close, stealing from their tail should be your top priority. This year Google has brought back a game from a previous Halloween: Great Ghoul Duel. In fact, even moving beyond the midway point between the two bases is never worth it because even if it’s possible to acquire a ton of flames, enemy players will have an even easier time stealing them. Risky behavior is almost never rewarding. Making three quick trips with five flames each to get 15 flames is far more efficient than getting 18 by wandering further but then losing half of them on the trip back.

Players want to stay as close as they possibly can to their home base where they have a greater chance of banking their flames rather than losing them. Smaller batches banked by staying close is always better.
