Title says all you really need to know, right down to the game URL. If you need specifics or just a general intro, Agar.io is a massively multiplayer browser game where players control a cellular entity with their mouse and eat food/smaller players to grow in size, eventually becoming massive and trying to get to the top 10 in the leaderboard. There's also an array of skins for your cell based on memes, political parties/movements, and popular symbols/characters - from Tumblr and Feminism to the Confederate Stars and Bars, the Nazi Swastika, and "ayy lmao" and doge. Skins are accessed by changing your nickname to the right name.

I keep getting eaten by bigger players and never make it much bigger than 300 mass but it's fun and addicting as hell. I normally play as "Org. XIII" when I'm not fucking around. I may fuck around as such oh so witty names like "Roxas", "9", *skin name*, "yourmomseggcell".

I got to be the top player once. Then I got bored and shot all my mass at some other person.
It's a ridiculously addictive game. My favorite names are NASA and w = friends.

Everyone knows it's the Spacebar that does speed.

Also I decided to try one of the Agario clones for Android, specifically one named Nebulous. Nebulous has a bit more content than Agario - you can use a massive selection of easily selectable skins alongside a name - some skins are unlockable - which expands the expressive capability of the game greatly. It lacks the politician skins of normal Agario (so does the actual mobile Agario), but you can come up with all sorts of witty uses from using a doge skin and naming yourself "Nice Meme!" to running around as a yin-yang blob named "Reimu". It also lacks the "Experimental" mode but has blue galaxy like objects that you can consume to grow bigger below a certain size. It's pretty decent and fun in its own right but seems to be kinda lacking the userbase.
 
I was eaten by Polandball. It all seemed a bit pointless after that :lol:
 
I reached Top 5. x3 1095 Mass. The best strategy seems to be avoid everyone else and eat. Maybe split to absorb other cells occasionally but be careful as larger cells will attempt to absorb your parts. You can usually outrun larger cells as they are slower and will eventually give up.

I got up to #2 and someone shot the small projectiles into me that somehow pushed me into one of those little bases that blows your guy into a bunch of tiny pieces. I survived, but never really recovered.

I've been in the Top 3 in Nebulous a few times last night.

This game is fun since I love to play games where you have to eat or be eaten every now and then. My only issue with the game is that it sucks on my smartphone; it gets laggy and unresponsive at some points. It's great on tablets though.

I almost made it to the Top 5 before I got split into several pieces and everyone else picked at the remains like vultures. And there's nothing more amusing than orbiting the larger cells, unless they split and absorb FUCKING EVERYTHING in their path!

I was having fun running around as "bait" trying to attract unsuspecting victims into the really big cells. Even if I get eaten in the process, it's pretty hilarious. It's also great when you get into a sort of mexican standoff between two big guys that really want to eat you, but they will get eaten by the other big guy if they split.
 
I play this game all the time! (For those who are addicted and don't know, there are free mobile app versions. You're welcome/I'm sorry.)
 
I played a lot in my free time for about 2 weeks, then it lost its charm for me. The lag issues with that game are pretty bad sometimes. You can be doing great and then lose it all because your cell is uncontrollable or unresponsive. I still play once in a while, but I'd play more often if they fixed the lag issues. Winning/losing based on chance or merit is fine. Losing because the game is unplayable is something else.

If you ever got eaten by "I'm not sorry." that was me.

I've been #1 a few times, and I usually reach the leaderboard in most games. The real trick is learning to be comfortable while split. You see people freaking out and running to hide so they can regroup, meanwhile they're ignoring obvious opportunities. Yeah, it's a little more challenging to move and evade, but if you learn how to be at ease with being split, you'll climb the ranks pretty quickly. If you look at the leaderboard they're almost never in a single cell. Stay out of the corners unless you're tiny. Spend an entire game just learning how to eject mass into the spikes to control how they split. Also, if you're not sure if you're big enough to absorb another cell with a split, then you're not. Only split on a sure thing, and preferably when you know you'll get 2 or 3 neighboring cells in the process. Overextending yourself for anything less than a sure thing exposes you to danger if you fail. Don't even bother going after cells that are around the same size as you are. Don't waste time chasing a cell if you aren't sure you can get them. Until a sure thing comes along, just eat or float around looking for an opportunity.

In short, just be an opportunistic jerk like the lifeforms the game is modeled on.


EDIT: Just so you know I'm not talking out of my ass, I just played a game with the above strategy.
