Score to beat: 1,320
The rocks on trail #29 are short bars of two to four rocks. You will meet 40 rocks grouped into 8 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 392 cells still free and 8 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 9.8 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 11.1 cells per second by the 12th fruit that clears the stage.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 26 seconds, scoring 1,320 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
Short bars make narrow lanes. Travel along the bars rather than across them, and the snake will rarely need more than one turn to get past.
