Agar.io（アガリオ）はMatheus Valadares氏により作製された大人数同時参加型アクションゲームである。
プレイヤーはマップ上のランダムな場所に小さな丸（細胞）としてスポーンし、マップ上に散らばる餌を食べることでより大きくなることができる。ゲーム内は弱肉強食の世界になっており、自分が他のプレイヤーより小さければ食われ、逆に大きければ相手を捕食することが可能である。ゲームに決められたゴールはなく、最終的により多くのMass（質量）を獲得することが目標である。
ゲーム設定はシンプルだが、ゲームをプレイした人々から大好評を受け、公開された最初の年（2015)に最も人気のあるWebゲームの一つにも選ばれた。ブラウザ版は2015年4月28日に初公開され、更にモバイル版は2015年7月8日にMiniclip社によってリリースされた。
「Agar.io」という名前は培養菌に使用される物質；寒天（Agar）からきている。
ゲームプレイ[編集]
マップ上には色とりどりの粒々（以降餌）、他のプレイヤー、緑色のセル、柘榴色のセル（Experimentalモードのみ）、そしてプレイヤー自身が存在し、プレイヤーは餌または他のプレイヤーを食べることでより大きくなれる。ゲームにはランキングが設けられており、大きさ上位10名のニックネームが載る。
Agar.ioにはFFA、Experimental、Team、Partyの４つのゲームモードが存在する。FFAはマップ上にいるすべてのプレイヤーが敵。ExperimentalはFFAと全く同じだが
開発[編集]
Agar.io was first announced on 4chan on 27 April 2015 by Matheus Valadares, a then-19-year-old Brazilian developer.Written in JavaScript and C++, the game was developed in a few days. The game originally did not have a name, and users had to connect to Valadares' IP address in order to play. The name Agar.io was suggested by an anonymous 4chan user, as other domain names such as cell.io were already taken. Valadares continued updating and adding new features to the game, such as an experience system and an "experimental" gamemode for testing experimental features.One week later, Agar.io entered Steam Greenlight with Valadares announcing a future free-to-play version of the game for download. He planned to include features in the Steam version not available in the browser version, including additional gamemodes, custom styling, and an account system. It was approved for listing on Steam due to community interest.
On 8 July 2015, Miniclip published a mobile version of Agar.io for iOS and Android. Sergio Varanda, head of mobile at Miniclip, explained that the main goal of the mobile version was to "recreate the gaming experience" on mobile, citing the challenges with recreating the game on touchscreen controls.
Reception[編集]
Agar.io was released to a positive critical reception. Particular praise was given to the simplicity, competition, and mechanics of the game. Engadget described the game as "a good abstraction of the fierce survival-of-the-fittest competition that you sometimes see on the microscopic level." Toucharcade praised its simplicity, strategic element, and "personality."
Criticism was mainly targeted towards its repetitiveness and the controls of the mobile version. Tom Christiansen of Gamezebo was mixed on the game, saying that there was "nothing to hold my attention" and that it was "highly repetitive, overall." Pocket Gamer, reviewing the mobile version, described its controls as "floaty."
Because it was frequently propagated through social media and broadcast on Twitch.tv and YouTube,Agar.io was a quick success. The agar.io website (for the browser version) was ranked by Alexa as one of the 1,000 most visited websites and the mobile versions were downloaded more than ten million times during their first week. During 2015, Agar.io was Google's most searched video game.
Agar.io was featured (including some details of its gameplay as well as a shot of an actual game) in "Chapter 48" of Netflix TV-series House of Cards. Its gameplay was compared to the presidential campaigning.
Use as a political soapbox[編集]
During the campaigns of the June 2015 Turkish elections, Agar.io was used in Turkey as a medium of political advocacy; many players were naming their cells after Turkish political parties and references, with alliances formed between players with similar political views, battling against other players with opposing views. Some political parties have used Agar.io in campaign posters as a symbol of support.
Trump and Hillary supporters have also battled each other in the context of the United States presidential election, 2016.
