Score to beat: 1,400
The rocks on trail #17 are single stones scattered in a mirror pattern. You will meet 44 rocks grouped into 28 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 388 cells still free and 8 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 9.5 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 10.4 cells per second by the 10th fruit that clears the stage.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 18 seconds, scoring 1,400 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
Single stones barely block anything, but they break up long straight runs. Swing wide around them so the body does not snag on a stone later.
