Agario became popular in a quite short term, so just after a few month after release several hundred thousands of players were involved in the game. The uniqueness of the game was in its style. The io game was made to be played in a fullscreen browser window, contrary to the browser games of past. Also it is completely multiplayer. That is the mix which defeated all other games.
