Support NeoGAF

[Zebetite]

Rest in piece, Yaranaika. You were the best I ever had.

 

[ptuck874]

zoe quinn eating all the ballz

 

[Ferrio]

We need the NeoGAF orb.

 

[BurningNad]

I'm dominating US East right now. "Ohmynads"

Edit: Just suicided to "damn" after playing for 45 minutes on one life. Was a wild ride, haha.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Man what the hell? This game is impossible to play now. Everybody splits to get you even when you're small as hell, damning themselves in the process.

 

[Muzicfreq]

100% impossible on a tablet

 

[Zyrox]

Yay I was 4th place in Europe for a while. All thanks to someone named "Dickbutt", who has been supporting me. You da real MVP, Dickbutt. But then I got cornered by 2 bigger cells. I call collusion.

 

[Lucumo]

Meh, nothing really left. Need better cell names. It's fun getting first, but after that, you might as well suicide. They also need to show your diameter.

 

[Ferrio]

They should add a second leaderboard for top 5 people who've been alive the longest.

 

[Qurupeke]

I'm going as C++ and as soon as I reach the top5 the room fills up with people named C, Python, Java etc. lol

 

[Ray Wonder]

I like how simple it is right now, but I feel like there's something missing that will make this game fun for a longer time. I agree with Lucumo, once you're 1st place you might as well just blow yourself up.

 

[Royal_Flush]

Jesus, what a ride... Went up and down the top 5 for an hour or so. I even survived accidently eating one of the spike things with my whole cell without much loss. I finally died as 1st by splitting into four to eat the third one who was scattered around in like 32 pieces. Then 2nd and 4th came one from each direction and I went from 1 to 0 This was on EU a few minutes ago, in case someone watched me (Blubb). What a great game.

 

[Lucumo]

Well, doing GAF proud once again. Single cell was already bigger than the vertical screen -.-



Also, when you detonate spikey things, you can absorb other spikey things with your other, larger parts. I think it's just mandatory that you have some of the smallest cells possible. I just tried that on the sceen.

 

[Majine]

Is there a cooldown between split and possible merge? If so, they should visualize that somewhere.

 

[KScorp]

Yeah, there is. The bigger you are, the longer the cooldown.

 

[Spoo]

omg this game is literally ruining my day lol

 

[Majine]

Yeah, there is. The bigger you are, the longer the cooldown.

Wonder if they could squeeze that in on the outer rims of the cell. Imagine if you can see others cooldowns, that will change the game.

I like that it's hidden, I think if it was viewable it'd make splitting pretty much unusable. Right now there's a huge risk/reward for splitting AND chasing someone who is split.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

This is such a great and simple masterclass on multiplayer game balance and risk vs reward. There are lots of very deliberate design decisions that make this thing so damn addicting.

 

[Spoo]

Well, I just sacrificed myself to the Reddit ball to make it bigger. Maybe "Thanks, Obama" ate you today!

 

[hesido]

GOTY.

I laugh almost every time I get eaten. It's really funny!

How can you have custom shapes in your orb?

 

[Mendax]

wtffff I was floating around and then there suddenly were these 2 huge USSR things with logo and all. I went all "nope nope nope",

 

[Majine]

There is something incredibly demoralising getting eaten. Not only do you die, but you can visible see that the perpetuator is now bigger and more powerful.

 

[diamount]

Was fun for a while then it just gets boring when all the fat blobs can eat you in one go.

 

[squidyj]

climbe dup to 2 on leaderboard then accidentally clicked back button on my mouse

 

[RandomExpletive]

Is anyone else having issues on US West? Keep getting kicked for connection problems, of which I have none :\

 

[BraXzy]

God damnit. I got really big and then it disconnected me for some reason and now I just keep getting divide gobbled

 

[BraXzy]

Is there an easy/quick way to merge back together? I keep taking forever to join back up :S

 

[diamount]

No, the bigger you get, the longer it will take.

 

[Philia]

I was NEOGAF for a while on US EAST representing the top 5 until the fucking server kicked me. :\

I saw pewdiepie with a special cell.

Looks like the game restarts once an hour.

 

[galvenize]

I'm having tons of fun messing around at the smallest size wearing lenny faces ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°).

 

[Lucumo]

I saw pewdiepie with a special cell.

Thx, guess this name is one of the new batch.

Also, complete domination.

 

[88random]

I ate him eventually

 

[Lucumo]

His skin tone doesn't look that healthy.

 

[TomShoe]

I live dangerously

 

[Storm Kyleis]

This game needs private lobbies.

They should add a second leaderboard for top 5 people who've been alive the longest.

This is a pretty good idea.

 

[Lady Siara]

Why does Indiana have its own cell? Seems pretty arbitrary compared to the others.

 

[Lucumo]

Well, domination of the Empire.

 

[Kilrogg]

Goddammit I was in the top 5 doing very well on Europe, and then I got disconnected .

Whoever you are, Taki and Pedobear, damn you to hell too!

 

[Lucumo]

That was quite fast with this cell choice ^_^

 

[Papercuts]

I just spent the better part of my birthday playing this off and on. Welp.

 

[Americanmushroom]

A small one could stay in the green spikes forever...

 

[RandomExpletive]

As long as you're not big enough to trigger the spikes, you can eat the smaller cells.

That said, putting in a check to see that you're moving MIGHT not be too hard?

 

[RaginRoss]

Looks like it's been updated, there's a mass counter in the bottom left corner now.

 

[Lemonte]

I spawned and instantly gained huge mass and thing got out of control

now u make me look like an idt thinking i was good ....

My cell's name was Body Bag and from a baby I worked to become the largest cell alive! The Canadian cell and myself were switching back and fourth between first place. Then a fairly large cell made a critical mistake when he split and all his pieces flew right into me, causing me to grow large enough to consume Canada and solidifying my total dominance of the map.

Canada respawned shortly after I claimed his crown, but this time he would be my apprentice. I over saw his growth from a tiny cell to a medium size and at that point he was comfortable with my guidance and knew I would not consume him. We worked together to corner smaller cells and we split the loot. As he grew I knew I was helping feed my future killer.

I split into two pieces to eat a cell a bit smaller than me. That decision made my two pieces smaller than the whole of the second place cell known as Kira. Kira rapidly moved on the upper half of Body Bag and my cell body was nearly half consumed; it would only be a matter of time before she had me. Then Canada split into several smaller cells and flew directly into my upper half sacrificing himself(making me large enough to escape the jaws of Kira). Not only did I escape Kira, but I grew large enough to consume her.

Body Bag was unstoppable. Canada respawned and grew in my shadow as he did before. Nothing could stop the awesome power of Body Bag & Canada!

I decided it was time to pass the crown back to Canada... I found an empty location on the map to which Canada followed me as he always had. Canada appeared big enough to consume my fully divided body, so I began to divide.

I divided as small as the game would allow. After I was fully divided all my pieces were only equal size to Canada. When two cells of the same size overlap nothing happens... They just overlap and neither is consumed. Canada desperately rushed to consume the feed blobs on the map to try and grow large enough to eat my divided body.

Like vultures they gathered; the other cells began swarming my corpse as Canada desperately tried to feed, but to no avail. Germany & Poland swooped in for the kill, it was all over... Poland ate about a quarter of my body, while Germany dove in and ate the rest along with Canada.

The End.
