Congratulations HeavenlyE. You came out on top.

We were the two biggest of the entire game by a huge margin. We owned the entire map. Even when we split, both of us were bigger than any other cell in the match. The only way for one of us to eat the other was to catch each other during a split. I chased him for a good 5 minutes once when he was just a little smaller than me but he got away by some conveniently placed spikes. In the end, he caught me in a corner during a fresh split and ate both halves. Dude is a God now.
 
Man, I very nearly missed a meeting because of this yesterday. Fuck me.
That said, half the fun are the inane cell names. Nothing like eating a bag of dicks, chase a Roomba around or assassinate Obama, then getting nommed by the CIA, Dear Leader or Poland. Or watching two big blobs chase each other around, like a China blob slowly going after a USA blob, etc. shit can be deep. And hilarious.
 
server just crashed for me. Was top 1 for like a half hour. If I split in 2 and ate someone, my circles would be partially off the screen.

Was Earth on us west
 
I swear I know what it's like to be in a school of fish and see the poor sardine next to you get eaten. "Oh shit, glad that wasn't me"
 
I was big and so was someone else. We cornered a medium sized brat in the edge of the map, basically playing chicken to see which of us would get him. He did, and then subsumed me, but the massive increase in mass caused him to hit two or three spikes. #karma

Lol I did that accidentally last night. It was late and I decided to give up so I rammed into one of the bigger guys. He was pressed up to a spike and my added mass caused him to consume it and explode.

I totally stole this from someone else, but my favorite thing to do know is picky a name with an insult and an arrow pointing in some direction. Then just follow a person around and stay small, constantly point at them. Watch them get angry as they can't catch you until they finally split so they can get you. Then watch as they get eaten because they shouldn't have split. It's fun.

I roll with "Fuck Him --->" myself. Was really funny when I was following a "Fuck You"
 
I don't get how it works. Sometimes I will pass right through a cell smaller than me, without doing anything to it. Other times I absorb them? And I can sometimes split my cell, but never reform back to one?

You cannot absorb any cell your size or slightly smaller. You absorb them if your cell if bigger than theirs. Your split cells join together within a few seconds. Just keep moving and you'll see it happen automatically.

To absorb another cell, you have to be 25%+ larger than it. Your cells will reform after a set timer, which depends on how large you are.

Thanks for explaining
 
My best was #2. I would pay a couple bucks for a game just like this with cleaner visuals and non-jittery movement. If only to support the guy that had the idea! :)
 
ok the thing that gets me about dudes splitting to get me when I start is that I know they'll end up being eaten. It's self defeating, and fucks me over
 
pro-strategy: when small find the big dudes in the top 5. Hang around near them and act as a bottom feeder grabbing the dots around them. People are afraid to split at the risk of missing you and hitting the big dude and you're too small for the big dude to care about or risk a split for. This lets you develop a strong early game.

Yeah, I picked up a satellite last night. Took a while to work out why.
 
Was just absorbed by "big dick" - this is why I don't play MP games.

I'm having fun with creative names, actually. First day, I was "Little Rascal", yesterday I was "Cuddle Monster". I need to think up some more for the weekend. I really want more text, though, to go full-on Culture Ship Naming.
 
I love trapping people between me and one of the green spiky things. Had a situation last night where a blob was slowly moving on to the spiky thing while I was slowly moving over them. They eventually triggered it and I instantly absorbed most of them. It was 10 seconds of agony for them, I'm sure.

I love being chased by someone as I encounter some other cells to consume, and then suddenly become twice as large as the guy chasing me. TABLES HAVE TURNED MOTHERFUCKER.
