Gameplay
The primary goal is to achieve the highest mass by the end of the round. Players control their cell using a mouse or touchpad, allowing for movement in any direction. As the cell grows larger by consuming smaller cells and Agar (a jelly-like substance), it gradually speeds up. Players can split their cells into smaller pieces using the spacebar to consume others or evade predators.
The more mass a player accumulates, the higher their score. The game can be played solo or with multiple players, offering various modes.
