Ok, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, and I apologize if it's not.
I have been playing DROD for about 2 weeks, I think, and I am currently half-way through level 20. I have learned how to handle wraithwings, tar, goblins etc. but I still have lots of problems with the snakes. I know a couple of things, mostly from reading the tips and some posts here, but not enough to really understand their movements.
Is there any one who could really, really explain to me how the snakes move so that I can make them do what I want them to do?

Thanks!
/Andrea

Snakes generally take the most direct route to you

Holey Moley...twenty levels in 2 weeks!!!
Took me about 6 months to do 18 levels, albeit factoring
in time available to play and my senility factors.
Looks like you're doing pretty good to me. This game can
be a very humbling experience at times. I hate tar the worse,
and sometimes I just gotta take a mental break and not play
for awhile, rather read how much everyone else are enjoying
themselves in my absense.

heh, I'm starting to be senile too, at age 44... but I do confess that I spend at least one hour in the evening playing DROD. If I don't finish it soon my wife will most definitively divorce me

thanks for all advices on the snakes: what I'd still like to know is how do I make a snake turn direction? I think if I could just know how to make it turn left or right it would be enough

Or you can also wait till the snake is facing away then step behind it, then it will keep going.

By the way, you must have quite a good understanding of snakes if you have gotten all the way to level 20.

Red Hawk, I've noticed you end up double-posting quite a bit. Is this something happening randomly?

Yes, it is. I have no idea how it happens.

It looks like impatience. Sometimes the message upload is slow, so he may have thought the message is not being sent, and so clicked the button again just to make sure.

I read the edit about being the second person to get a 4 messages/day statistic, but I'm afraid it looks like quite a few of those are double posts. Please delete them.

I think I've only ever made 3 double posts, and I deleted all but this one, which I have done now.

I wasn't trying to start anything here, since I don't actually care, I was just curious.

Anyway, I recall seeing quite a number of them, but I'm too lazy to go figure out where they all are for you.

So I got bored and went hunting through your posts, and the only remaining one I found was this one.
