This month, a simple and addictive online game called agar.io is out and about. The objective of the game is simple, you choose a name for your ball, and try to survive in a space full of other players, trying to eat smaller balls and growing, while escaping the other giant balls that try to swallow you.
I don't know the meaning of Agar.io but at least in Japanese "Oagaryo" is something like go ahead, it even makes a bit of sense. xD But they probably chose that name because of the ".io" domain and who knows agar comes from grab.
