Score to beat: 3,520
The rocks on trail #44 are square blocks of four rocks. You will meet 48 rocks grouped into 10 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 384 cells still free and 10 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 13.1 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 14.4 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 13 seconds, scoring 3,520 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
The square blocks leave wide corridors between them. Treat each block like a roundabout: circle it on the outside lane and keep the inside clear for the tail.
