Score to beat: 3,156
The rocks on trail #38 are short bars of two to four rocks. You will meet 32 rocks grouped into 10 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 400 cells still free and 12 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 11.8 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 13.1 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 14 seconds, scoring 3,156 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.
