About Powerline io Unblocked
The game involves players taking on the role of a powerline, similar to a snake from Paper io, another popular io game. The player must kill other players by causing them to collide with their powerline, and eat their food to grow. The trick is that players will gain a speed boost when close to other powerlines, so they must act quick and efficiently to take out other players and gain their food and become king.
Powerline io Unblocked has received positive reviews for its fun nature and simple but addicting concept. It has been compared to other io games such as Slither.io, which some people complain Powerline.io ripped off due to its similar nature. Regardless, Powerline io Unblocked is still a popular browser game, averaging 15,000 users daily.
Tips & Tricks for Powerline io Unblocked
Boost your speed. Keeping your speed up should be your main focus as you play Powerline. Boost your snake by riding alongside the other snakes on the field. Use the speed boosts to get ahead of your opponents, then quickly turn to block their path and zap them before they can react. Collecting neon bits will keep your speed up as well.
Zig-zag. Sure, the name of the game might be Powerline, but zigging and zagging is the better strategy. You can prevent other snakes from boosting off your tail by constantly turning left and right as you move around the field. Creating quick turns and corners with your snake will make it more difficult for other players to boost off of your tail, particularly as your snake gets longer.
Focus on defense. The goal of the game is survival. In order to stay in the game as long as possible, focus on eating lots of bits instead of going straight for zaps. Grow your tail slowly as your progress and avoid other snakes to survive as long as you can.
Follow the leader. If there’s nothing going on around you, head towards the king. The crown indicator on the screen helps point you in the direction of the player with the highest score. Other players tend to congregate around the crown as well, so chances are, the closer you get to the king, the more bits you’ll find! You’ll also find much larger snakes to fight, so be ready!
