Tail Cutters — Slither, Hunt, Survive

Every worm in the arena is trying to eat, grow, and cut you down. The question is whether you'll get to them first.

Tail Cutters drops you into a glowing neon arena packed with rival worms, each one hungry for the same thing you are: energy orbs, territory, and survival. Steer with your mouse or keyboard, grow your tail by devouring glowing orbs scattered across the map, and unleash a Dash the instant an enemy's tail crosses your path — slice it clean off, and watch it scatter into fresh energy for the taking.

But cutting comes with a price. Get too small, and one bad hit ends your run. Get greedy, and a pack of hunter worms will start circling. Every second is a trade-off between growing bigger and staying alive.

What makes it addictive

No countdown, no time limit. Once you press play, you're in — survival is the only clock that matters. How long can you last?
Smart, aggressive AI. Bots don't just wander — hunters actively chase you down when they sense an opportunity, while cautious ones flee from anything bigger. Every worm in the arena is playing to win, not just filling space.
A living arena. Dodge scattered rocks that end your run on contact, weave past trees and grass, and watch the neon tail of every creature pulse and glow as it moves — this isn't a static grid, it's a world that feels alive.
Make it yours. Unlock striking color skins and distinctive head shapes as your best score climbs — from a sleek Cobra Hood to a jagged Dragon Crest — plus a fully custom color picker for the top players who've truly earned it.
Chase the leaderboard. Every run counts. Climb the rankings, unlock achievements, and beat your own personal best one more time.

Simple to learn, hard to put down

There's no tutorial to sit through and no complicated controls to memorize — move, grow, dash, cut. That's the whole game. But mastering when to strike, when to flee, and when to just keep eating is what separates a 30-second run from a leaderboard-topping marathon.

Whether you've got two minutes to kill or you're chasing that #1 spot, Tail Cutters is built for exactly one more try.
