Agar.io vs Brutal.io
Agar.io
Agar.io is one of the very first and very popular IO game. Players in this game play as cells that have the unique abilities to eject mass and divide as they fight it out in a 2D arena. Despite being rather minimalistic, the arena itself contains plenty of "food pellets" that you can gobble up to expand your cell mass as well as other obstacles that may either help or obstruct you when you encounter an opponent that you have no way to beat. The game is not only very addictive and competitively casual; it is incredibly strategic and players that excel in it need to have excellent aim as well. You can even customize your cell with a variety of pictures (mainly fun memes or countryn flags), colors and more!Agar.io is definitely a game that will render any productive time you may have into an unproductive one. If you're looking to pass time, this is the game to play!
Brutal.io
Brutal.io , developed by the very people behind Wings.io, is a competitive PvP game where you get to play as a cell of sorts, much like Agar.io, but with a spiky flail to whack other players with. Like all IO games, Brutal.io is very easy to learn but can be hard to master. Similar to Agar.io as well, you will need to gobble up food fragments scattered around the place to grow your main bulk. The arena you'll do battle in is unique too. It has walls you can take cover behind, and there's even a walled-up area in the middle for smaller cells to hide when escaping from larger cells.Despite the comparison with Agar.io, Brutal.io is not a direct copy of the game. In fact, it builds on what makes the former game so challenging and hence, addictive to play, while subsequently created something that looks and feels different. That being said, Brutal.io is still a game that fans of Agar.io, or any IO games really, would really enjoy.
