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.
As of May 11th, a new game mode was added where players can play on teams instead of free for all. The players are divided into three teams where cells of the same color cannot be engulfed. The leaderboard in this mode was removed in favor of a pie chart showing the three teams total mass. Skins are disabled for this mode.
ControlsW-You can eject your mass to other players and get them bigger or use it to lure em in and eat them.
Space bar-This is use to spit yourself in 2-4-6-8.etc and this is a tactic used for eating people.
Mouse-just put your cursor in the direction you want to go and it will go.
