Agar.io is a massively multiplayer online game. Players control one or more circular cells in a map representing a Petri dish. The goal is to gain as much mass as possible by eating agar and cells smaller than your cell while avoiding larger ones which can eat you! Each player starts with one cell, but players can split a cell into two once it reaches a sufficient mass, allowing them to control multiple cells. The name comes from the substance agar, used to culture bacteria.

Agar.io has two versions of the game, the mobile version 📱 and the web version💻. Both games are identical in terms of gameplay, and you can use the same account for both of them, however the two version are separate.
Players who use the web version💻 do not play with players from the mobile version 📱.
Web version💻 players have access to the experimental game mode and the layout of the main screen is a bit different, however, the buttons are kept the same for easy navigation.

Upon opening the application for the first time you will be introduced to the main screen, with a small arrow pointing towards the classic game mode.
Once you select the button, you will be on your way to become the biggest cell, however, watch out - other players can eat you too.

Quick tip: try to maximise the amount of potions you brew, by choosing the right one at the right time. For instance, overnight, brew a rare or mythical potion because they takes a long time. For sessions that you know won't be as spaced out, opt for a common or exotic potion.

Closing notes
The game is quite simple, however, there is a lot of tactical depth to it. Where you go is one of the most important factors. What separates new players from veterans is planning where you will go, and positioning. Always keep an eye out, it's a Cell-eat-Cell world out there!
