eat as much as you can!

larger in size. Avoid blobs bigger than you as they will consume♣️ you, which means game

About
Agar.io
Launch
Matheus Valadares announced Agar.io on 4chan on 28 April♣️ 2024. Matheus,
a 19-year-old Brazilian developer, wrote the game in a few days using JavaScript and
C++. The game was♣️ announced without a name and users had to connect to Valadares' IP
address to play.
It was only later that the♣️ name "Agar.io" was suggested by an
anonymous user on 4chan. Matheus continued adding new features to the game one week
♣️ later Agar.io entered Steam Greenlight.
Initial reviews
Initially, the feedback on the
game's release was mixed. Some praised the game for its♣️ simplicity and game mechanics.
Fans of the game even described the game as "a good abstraction of the fierce
survival-of-the-fittest♣️ competition that you sometimes see on the microscopic level."
However, there was also sile criticism on the simple gameplay. This♣️ was mainly targeted
towards the repetitiveness and the controls of the mobile version. Tom Christiansen of
Gamezebo said the game♣️ wasn't able to hold his attention and that overall it was highly
repetitive.
The success of the game
Nevertheless, Agar.io quickly became♣️ a success,
mainly because it was frequently propagated through social media and broadcast on
Twitch.tv and YouTube. The mobile version♣️ of the game was downloaded more than ten
million times during their first week, and in 2024, Agar.io was Google's♣️ most searched
video game. In the same year, it was even listed as the fifth top game on YouTube’s
list♣️ of top games. Fun fact, Agar.io was also featured in the Netflix TV-series House
of Cards!
