Agar.io: Grow, Eat, Dominate

Gameplay: Eat or Be Eaten

The core mechanic is simple: move your cell around the map using your mouse. Eat the small static agar pieces to gain mass and grow larger. Find players with smaller cells than yours and consume them to dramatically increase your size. The larger you get, the slower you become, but you also become a bigger threat.

Strategic Moves: Split and Eject

Agar.io introduces key strategic elements through abilities:

• Split (Spacebar): Splits your cell into two equal parts. This is primarily used for quickly consuming smaller cells ahead of you or for escaping larger threats by splitting away a portion of your mass. Your split cells will automatically merge back together after a short time.
• Eject Mass (W key): Ejects a small portion of your mass. You can feed other players (often used for teaming) or eject mass into viruses to push them or break them apart.

Mastering when and how to split or eject mass is crucial for survival and dominance.

Beware the Viruses

Green spiky circles, known as viruses, are another important element. If a cell larger than the virus hits it, the cell will explode into many smaller pieces, making it vulnerable. Smaller cells can hide inside viruses for protection. Players can also strategically shoot mass (`W`) into viruses to push them towards enemies or break a virus into more viruses, potentially trapping larger players.

Tips for Dominance

• Use Splits Wisely: Splitting is great for offense but makes you vulnerable when your pieces are small.

• Hide in Viruses: If you are small, viruses can be a safe haven.
• Teaming: Sometimes players team up by feeding each other mass; be cautious but consider the tactic.
