Gameplay
In Agar.io, the player is a cell with the objective of growing larger by engulfing pellets (Agar) as well as other players. The player can split into smaller cells by pressing the space bar or colliding with viruses. The player can also shoot parts of their cell at other players by pressing W. Players can apply a skin to their cells by selecting certain hidden keywords as their nickname, including Doge, Wojak, 4chan, 8chan (under 8ch), and 9gag.
I swear its fun.
