yep whoever teams up in this game ruins it sadly

I just played this for about four hours... There's something perfect about chasing down a cell named "Doge" or "Imperial Japan" with your own gargantuan cell named "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
... I think I just killed you myself.
If you enable the 'show mass' option you will see that the bigger you are the faster you lose mass over time. Picking up pellets reduces the effect.

This reminds me of that mice game that was all the hotness for a couple of days.

Until your own dumb teammates get you killed by blocking or never help you out. I mean, seriously... I feed people on my team all the time and often they never help out or even repay the favor after they gobble up 2-3k points.
Otherwise team mode is pretty fantastic and is somewhat preferred to me over the pure chaos of FFA. When I started playing today they had no leader board for it... now they do. But they also need a way to award a team who is dominating a win and then reset to 0.

Manage to last a good while just now. Myself and some other guy were luring people in then dropping our entire mass on each other at the best moment to eat the other team.
I do agree about blocking though, and the little guys always seem to cling onto you, which just feels like begging. Get out there and gather some food!

So I guess you can "win" team mode by reaching a point where the game stops spawning cells of other colors:

Just had a match where we snowballed from sorta early on with a bit of team work. Had a blast though cause my teammates this time actually worked together. When help win 3-4 big fight, it is very satisfying and appreciated when the victor shares the spoils of biological warfare. We ended up having like 80% of the pie filled when I left. So I kinda think that the game needs to reset a bit earlier than that, like 75% for sure.
Around 75% there wasn't much left to conquer so I started going around and popping every little green trap I came across and discovered that once you're at max cell count, which is like 10-15, then the traps don't even split you. New meta!
This game has oddly deep strategies despite the simple facade.

Man I just discovered this game yesterday.
There's something weirdly exhilarating about chasing a smaller cell down only to have a larger cell appear on the scene.

A friend told me about it few days ago.Was thinking to share it.

Iv'e found something worse than teamers in FFA. Damn blockers in team mode. I'm not sure if it's trolling or some form of begging for me to give them mass, but everytime i grow to a reasonably big size they'll be at least 2 or 3 little peeps that cling onto me and push me around.
I didn't want it before, but i'd really like some form of chat now, especially in team mode, even if it's just to tell people to move their ass out of the way.

It's on the "login" screen.
Space to split.
W to eject mass.
That's it. Q used to spread cells but was only in for a brief period of time. Not sure why they got rid of it it was sometimes useful.

Oh wow, it is, I don't know how I missed that even while scanning it for a controls menu. Thanks. Now to try this spitting thing out.
Exactly.
I often play as "TrapDoorSpider" and hide underneath the spikes, eating the small blobs that pass by, pumping my mass into the spikes and growing my domain, har har har

Oh man you can have some fucking epic moments in this game. Two recent games I had:
1. Climbed the leader board to the number one position over about thirty minutes in FFA. When I got there pretty much everyone was out to get me and the smaller cells were ejecting mass in to the Green spiked cells pushing them at me to try and destroy me. I managed to defend myself successfully for a good twenty minutes before a Green spiked cell was pushed over to me causing my cell to explode. I was then absorbed by everyone as they all descended upon me like vultures. Epic.
2. I was playing TEAMS as the Red team and we were getting slaughtered by Green which had about 95% of the leader board. I changed my name to "We're fucked" referring to the Red team and one of the Green cells must have felt sorry for me because as I was surrounded by multiple massive Green cells he intentionally ejected all of his mass directing the mass in my direction increasing my radius to the point that I was the largest cell in the game. I then dominated absorbing most of the Green cells around me. Then however the leader and largest cell of the Green team must have felt appalled at his Jesus like sacrifice because he angrily pushed a Green spiked cell over to me thus causing my cell to explode.
How can this game get so epic? Anyway yeah having loads of fun. The game is genius.

Just a heads up everyone. The game has a new experimental mode.
Some details here from the Agar.io wiki:
Played a few games last night and it's fucking chaos. It's faster and way more intense. If you're up for an adrenaline rush then the experimental mode is the way to go.

My new record. I was 1st for about 10 minutes if not longer and 1st or 2nd for 20+ minutes. Allied with someone named "ur mom" who kept dying but would come back, find me, and buddy up. Really fun round for me. You can see my buddy "ur mom" in the bottom right from my cell and that jerk "smiley" that popped me once later on by shooting a virus at me - I chased him down later and ate most of him. "PressF5forHelp" later took over 1st place simply because I kept losing mass and he was maintaining his, but I eventually hit him with a virus then chased him into a corner and ate the majority of him, returning myself to the #1 spot. Felt good. Finally, ran out of time so I just fed a bunch to someone that was pretty big and then suicided into them, I think I was #2 at that time.

Utter rektness. People started quitting after I hit 1st so many times. There were these two buddies that ganged up on me and managed to eat me quite a lot of times but I constantly built myself up from scratch and tricked the larger guy into impaling himself onto an already primed cell (1 mass till bursting). Didn't know what hit him. Then came the slow eating of the viruses with max cell count.

Welp, looks like it's been confirmed then.

wtf this game is great. can't stop playing.
Saw some of the people playing this on the React channel (sorry guys, lol). It was pretty addictive for a while!
Do you start shrinking if you don't eat another person for a while? Either I was imagining things, or I was starting to get smaller over time. That's when I realized that I would have to try a new strategy. But I had already wasted enough time so I quit.

My best attempt:
Yes if you turn on the mass counter in the settings you can watch it fall. You actually lose mass faster the bigger you are.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
I see. Thought I was going crazy for a sec, lol
