From the idea and creation of the game in 1995 to the current stage it has being in now in 2022, Curve Fever has gone from strength to strength with many versions of the game being made by different game developers such as FrankM, Haru, Qoo' and R4W1L.

What is Curve Fever
Curve Fever is a snake game where you can play against 1 to 8 other players in an online arena. The aim of the game is to try to survive the longest by avoiding other players lines, and your own line which you have created. There are many things you have to do, to be able to win and outplay your opponents. Some of these include:


 * Playing carefully of not hitting walls or other lines
 * Fast thinking when in tight spaces
 * Aware of your opponents and power-ups which they may use
 * Using Power-Ups strategically
 * Moving around the arena carefully to survive the longest and win the game!

How The Game Works
Each player spawns as a dot at a random spot on the playing field and moves at a constant speed. Each player has a different colour with some colours being only available to some premium players. The players can only turn left or right, however with the thorner power-up, can use all 4 keys. As the dot travels across the playing field, it draws a permanent, solid line in its path, in the colour of that player.

When the dot collides with any section of line or the boundary of the playing field, the player instantly "dies" for that round. The line which that player has made however, remains in the playing field until the end of the game. The game becomes increasingly difficult as more of the playing field is blocked off by lines. If two players collide at the head of snake, then they both "die". It can sometimes be luck to who gained an extra point after this collision.

As lines are being drawn, gaps are occasionally being generated that can be used to escape a section of the map that has been blocked off. The game is won when all but one of the players has collided. In its original version, there are a total of 6 different lines. Up to six people can play at the same time. All the lines are exactly the same, the colour being the only thing setting the different lines apart. All the keys on the keyboard must be used to play this game as it takes a lot of skill and talent. Pathfinding - puzzle your way out of a maze of curves left by yourself and other opponents. Squeeze through tiny gaps, cut off others who try to attack you and curve your way to victory. Interactions - Discover all the fun and diverse ways to interact with other players and survive the resulting mayhem. Get to know other players by chatting with them during matchmaking or in-game downtimes and turn your opponents into friends by adding them to your friends' list.

How To Win
Winning the game involves strategically moving around the arena and avoiding hitting your opponents lines and your own. Each power-up has it's own unique ability which could affect every player, your line, or only other players. Choosing which power-ups to press at different times is really important. Some items can spawn at the right time for players which is where luck can help in the game. Playing solo and teams are very different when it comes to strategy, as for teams; The playstyle is more to try to create a large camping space as possible

Logging in
You can either choose to play as a guest or make an account. An account is mainly proffered, as players can remember your user and you can be known throughout the community if you win Tournaments / are a good player. In Curve Fever 2, logging in required an email address, whereas for newer versions, it just requires a username and password. This means that choosing a harder password is recommended. Usernames should aimed to be cool or catchy and one that defines you as a player. Of course rude usernames are not really wanted, but the community is not too strict about this, but is much firmer on alt accounts especially for pro players, as this can be confusion for Tourney hosts, or even used for cheating.

Lobby
Creating a lobby is really easy to do, and you can add a password to the room if you only wanted certain people to join. You can change the settings when making a room and whilst in the room to set the mode to the one you wish to play. In the current Curve Crash, the max amount of players you can add is 16. You can change the game modes + types.
