Agario is a stress busting puzzle game that has taken the gaming world by storm. Players take on the role of a bacterium that is floating around a Petri dish and have to tap on various parts of the screen to street the bacteria out of harm’s way before it is consumed by the nasty viruses that also share the Petri dish and are intent on destroying everything in their path.

Just a Lonely Blob

In many ways, the secret behind the success of Agario lies in its simplicity. Players begin the game as a single cell bacterium, which gradually grows in size as the game advances. Each time the bacterium encounters blobs that are smaller, these blobs can be absorbed, which causes it to grow. However, the blob will in turn be consumed by larger blobs, which will cause the bacterium to ultimately die and end the game.

Avoiding the Latest Virus

One of the cool things about Agario is how easy it is to get into the game and players are likely to find that they are completely hooked without really understanding why. Although Agario is not exactly a game that is going to tax your brain, it is extremely addictive and the fact that it is available to play for free means that it is worth finding out what all the fuss is about.
