How To Zoom Out On A Mac From A Game

Zooming in and out on a Mac is suitably simple and ideal for anyone who needs extra clarity on a portion of the screen or who is visually impaired. You can use a keyboard shortcut or a key and gesture on touchscreen devices. Zoom in – Option – Command – + (plus) Zoom out – Option – Command – – (minus).

Slither.io does not have an innate zooming function but there is one confirmed way to be able to zoom in and out in-game, provided you are playing at a PC and using Chrome.

Slither Plus is an extension that adds a number of features to Slither.io to make the game more enjoyable, and unlike competitor Slither.io Mods V3 it hasn't been removed from the Chrome Web Store for being malicious.

Though Slither Plus has a number of features (including an even lower graphical mode for low-end computers to play without lag) the zoom feature is one of the most sought-after--though zooming out to have a larger view than other players is very much considered cheating.

If you're all right with cheating in Slither.io (I'm not really, but Slither Plus has some nice extra features) you can grab it up on the Chrome Web Store for free. The website also has a separate script download for Opera and Safari users, but it's better safe than sorry when downloading unofficial fan-made scripts. Stick to the Chrome version because it is confirmed to be safe.

How to zoom out and in using Slither Plus

After you have installed the extension and go to the Slither.io website you will see a few options under the Nickname field, one of which being Zoom.

Make sure it is toggled to 'ON', input your nickname, and press 'Play'.

Once you're in, you can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel. It's as easy as that!

We here at GameSkinny don't like to condone cheating but there's no stopping you if you want to, and it's best you keep your computer safe in the process. Be wary of scripts and extensions that are not able to be hosted on the Chrome Web Store as that implies they are not safe--it's not worth risking your personal information just to cheat at a free to play game.

It's not just officially the holiday season, it's also party season. Zoom parties have been all the talk of 2020, so you’ve already gotten your feet wet and are more than familiar with how to host a virtual holiday party. Between the invitations, icebreaker conversations, and gift exchanges, you’re probably wondering what other activities you can do to keep yourself and your guests entertained. Not to worry. You’ll knock your next holiday Zoom party out of the park with classic and modern games that everyone can enjoy.

Given the strange, unpredictable year we’ve all had, there’s power in playing games at your virtual shindig. The coronavirus pandemic has left much to be desired, and naturally, we all miss human interaction. Games are a perfect way to get that feeling of camaraderie and friendship back (the holidays help, too). They serve as wonderful icebreakers that help to put everyone at ease, especially if there are new faces at your gathering. Classic games like Pictionary and Charades are good for a laugh, while more modern games like Jackbox’s Fibbage will leave your guests learning and lying.

Get your game face on. Here are 13 games that will liven up your next holiday Zoom party.

1. Name That Holiday Tune

A classic guessing game with classic festive tunes. As the host, you'll need a festive playlist to get this one going. Whoever can correctly guess the most holiday songs gets to pick the next venture. Start off with a modern classic like Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You.'

3. Gift Wrapping Race

For those of us with the gift of gift wrapping, this game will be fun and competitive. Have your guests all choose a gift (or a plain box) from under their trees (or anywhere!) that are about the same size and start the time to see who can wrap the fastest. Bonus points if it's neat, too.
