The shield buff protects players of length 2 or more against crashes that would otherwise occur.
If the player has the shield buff and their move would cause them to collide with an obstacle, then instead:
- Their head does not move
- Their snake length reduces by 1
If the snake reduces to length 1 the buff is lost.
This buff is primarily of use to human players, and is intended as an aid to compete against bots.
