Core Gameplay
• Real-time multiplayer snake arena.

• Players die on collision with other snakes or walls.
• Cash-out mechanic: players can exit anytime and keep their balance from that run. Buy holding a button on keyboard for 2 seconds or holding cash out button on screen
• Lobbies run 24/7 — no match resets, players join/spawn into ongoing play.

⸻

Lobby Structure
• Stake tiers: $1, $5, $10, $20, $35, $50 plus a Free Practice Lobby.
• Pre-spawn staging screen (10 seconds):
• Show player list with username, equipped skin, level, and lifetime/season kills.
• Countdown timer until spawn.
• Late join cutoff: 3 seconds before spawn.

⸻

Fee Structure
• Deposit Fee: 10% (always shown in $ amount, not percentage).

• Wager Fee: 5% taken only when a player cashes out winnings.
• All fees are sent to the Admin Balance.
• Admin Balance:

• Must have full ledger logging fee type (DEPOSIT_FEE, WITHDRAWAL_FEE, WAGER_FEE), user ID, lobby, amount, and timestamp.

Payments Integration

• Debit card payments use MoonPay to purchase SOL.
• On MoonPay checkout, show USD amount first, then SOL equivalent (never SOL only).
• Instant in-game credit once payment confirmed.
• Withdrawals available in crypto only (minus 10% withdrawal fee).

⸻

Free Lobby Upsell

“Think you can win real cash?
Enter the $1 Lobby now and prove it!”
• Button: “Play for $1” (takes player to $1 lobby deposit/join flow).
• Include visuals of recent cash-out amounts from paid lobbies for motivation.

Kill Streak System (Non-P2W perks)
• Streak counter resets when player dies.
• Max streak = 7 kills per life.
• Each perk can be used once per life.

3 Kills – “Eagle Eye”
• Activated by hotkey.
• Camera zooms out for 6 seconds. To show all players on map

5 Kills – “Speed Surge”
• Activated by hotkey.
• For 6 seconds, any boost used gives +20% extra speed.

7 Kills – “Revival Rush”
• Auto-activates if player dies while charged.
• Player must press spacebar 10 times before all dropped mass is eaten.
• If successful → respawn at random safe location with remaining mass not eaten.


When Triggered
1. Player dies while perk is active.
2. Instead of instant death, the camera zooms in on their death spot.
3. On-screen prompt appears:

PRESS [SPACEBAR] 10 TIMES TO REVIVE!

Revive Challenge Mechanics
• Player has a short time window before all of their dropped money/mass on the ground is eaten by other snakes.
• Timer ends as soon as either:
1. The mass is completely eaten, or
2. Player completes the 10 spacebar presses.
• Skill factor:
• Fast button presses = more chance to revive with a decent chunk of your remaining money.
• If slow, you revive with less — because more mass gets eaten during the attempt.

⸻

On Successful Revive
• Player respawns at a random safe location on the map.
• They come back with whatever percentage of their dropped mass/money is left uneaten.
• Example: If they had $50 worth of mass on death and only $18 was eaten, they respawn with $32 worth.

⸻

On Fail
• They die as normal — no revive, money stays with whoever ate it.
• Explosion animation still plays.
