The Rise of IO Games
The first .io game was Agar.io. It was developed by Matheus
Valadares in 2024 and gained 💳 significant popularity through the internet forum 4chan.
The game revolves around cells that grow by eating agar and consuming other 💳 players. A
few months after its release, the game was acquired by Miniclip, and a new game genre
started to 💳 emerge based around the humble .io domain extension.
The games that followed
were focused on the growth mechanics that made Agar.io 💳 so popular, strengthening the
idea of .io as a genre, not just a domain extension. Worms Zone was one of 💳 those games,
with the same simple yet addictive concept but with snakes. There are now many grow
games like Snake.io 💳 and Wormate, taking this fast-paced survival concept further.
