- phantom_oracle 10y agoThe new agar.io , before that game became bloated :)
- mrgreenfur 10y agoIt's a rogue-like snake landgrab . Great concept and lovely minimal execution. More fun than it seems after 1 play.
- lifeformed 10y agoHow is it a roguelike?
- pmontra 10y agoThat would be interesting. This is only a snake like. Bored after 5 seconds, not my kind of games anymore. Probably GP wrote roguelike because the general look of the game.

- qwertyuiop924 10y agoHe was referring to permadeath, but he's wrong. In an RL, the world would be regened when you died, and it would likely be singleplayer: this is just an multiplayer snakelike.
- mrgreenfur 10y agoYou start over when you die
- rednerrus 10y agoIt could use better memory management.
- danellis 10y agoNo kidding -- after a couple of minutes of play, it brought my 32GB Mac to a near halt.
- msyea 10y agoJust borked my 16GB MBP. Never seen the OS X "Your system has run out of application memory." alert. Great game though.
- subinsebastien 10y agoIn one minute, I had to force Quit chrome on my mac.
- iconjack 10y agoDoesn't that mean your OS is rather broken as well?
- BoorishBears 10y agoBroken for respecting it's owners wish to run a program with most of the resources available to it?
- pritambaral 10y agoTangentially related — and I'm not dissing on OS X here — but I really like the Linux kernel's Magic SysRq keys. It's a simple concept: no matter what software does, the hardware will always pass through the kernel first; so set up special keybindings to command the kernel to do special things. Alt-SysRq-f pulls out the OOM killer, which targets the worst memory abusing process and just mercilessly kills it. It's super handy on a desktop OS that's frequently pushed to its limits. Chrome eating too much RAM? Pull out Alt-SysRq-f and kill the fattest Chrome process!
- cyogee 10y agodisconnects way too fast.
- 26 10y agoIt says I'm disconnected after a couple seconds too. Also, like most browser games, it manages to rev up the fan on my fairly modern laptop almost immediately.
- trymas 10y agonew agar.io/slither.io though interesting to see how long and how well this game concept will evolve.
- buffmoviebuff 10y agogot bored after 5 mins
- splix 10y agoI like the name
- Timucin 10y agoWebSocket connection is failing for me but it's probably because of my workplace's network limitations. Shame, I was quite excited when I first saw the game :)
- amelius 10y agoWhat technique does it use to keep the state consistent over all clients and the server?

- nicwest 10y agogame doesn't seem to require flash, but the ads(?) do, and if you don't have flash, it blocks on the ad page seemingly indefinitely. FF 49.0.1 arch linux
- Kiro 10y agoFor people saying this is the new agar.io/slither.io. There are loads of "io games" nowadays competing to be the next big thing. This is just another version of landix.io so it's nothing unique and will probably not be a landslide success. It does look more polished though.
- Hockey_Dino 10y agoMultiplayer Snake from Nokia 3310 :D Amazing!

- diimdeep 10y agoThis game is broken in so many ways.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYet another .io game. A pretty good one, too, but rather heavy on resources, which tends to be a theme among the .io games. Come on guys, test and optimize your code! it's not rocket science.
- rzr 10y agoIs it FLOSS ? or librejs friendly ?
- buremba 10y agowow, it ates all the free memory available in the system regardless how much it is.
- petercooper 10y agoCareful if you get addicted to simple games. This swallowed up several hours a few weeks ago :-D
- codesmitten 10y agoYes quite addictive indeed.
- alexcasalboni 10y agoRIP RAM
- timdellinger 10y agoConfession: I had to uninstall the app from my iphone because it was eating up too much of my time. This game has a lot of interesting things to balance - defend my territory vs. expand into new, deciding when to grab territory boldly and when to be conservative, deciding whether another player is vulnerable to be cut off vs. the risk you put yourself into by trying to cut them off. There's complexity that emerges from a simple ruleset that's more interesting than you'd think. Also: watching other players to deduce their strategy, skill level,and understanding of the game. I'm surprised that more players don't expand diagonally, which seems to me to be strategically strong. I also like how the game requires different things as your territory grows: early stages are about survival, middle stages about growth, later stages involve defense. Oh, and I noticed that the youtube gamers enjoy it as well.
- codesmitten 10y agoQuite hooked to it. Best rank #3 Yes its a little heavy on resources, but then I was playing on my laptop so it was fine. A big thumbs up from me :)
