Agar.io is a massively multiplayer action game created by Matheus Valadares. Players control a cell in a map representing a petri dish; the goal is to gain as much mass as possible by swallowing smaller cells without being swallowed by bigger ones. The name Agar.io comes from the substance agar, used to culture bacteria.
The game was released to positive critical reception. Critics particularly praised its simplicity, competition, and mechanics, while criticism targeted its repetitive gameplay. A downloadable Steam version was announced on 3 May 2015, and the mobile version of Agar.io for iOS and Android was released on 8 July 2015 by Miniclip.
The objective of Agar.io is to grow a cell by swallowing both randomly generated pellets, which slightly increase a cell's mass, and smaller cells without being swallowed by larger cells. It can be played in a deathmatch (free-for-all) or between teams. The goal of the game is to obtain the largest cell; players restart when all of their cells are swallowed. Players can change their cell's appearance with predefined words, phrases, symbols or skins. The more mass a cell has, the slower it will move. Cells gradually lose mass over time.
Agar (pronounced /ˈeɪɡɑː/, US /ˈɑːɡər/, "AH-gər") or agar-agar (/ˈeɪɡɑːˈeɪɡɑː/, /ˈɑːɡərˈɑːɡər/, "AH-gər-AH-gər") is a jelly-like substance, obtained from algae. It was discovered in the late 1650s or early 1660s by Mino Tarōzaemon (美濃 太郎左衛門) in Japan, where it is called kanten (寒天).
Agar is derived from the polysaccharide agarose, which forms the supporting structure in the cell walls of certain species of algae, and which is released on boiling. These algae are known as agarophytes and belong to the Rhodophyta (red algae) phylum. Agar is actually the resulting mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin.
Throughout history into modern times, agar has been chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also as a solid substrate to contain culture media for microbiological work. Agar (agar-agar) can be used as a laxative, an appetite suppressant, a vegetarian substitute for gelatin, a thickener for soups, in fruit preserves, ice cream, and other desserts, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for sizing paper and fabrics.
well i drove down to the ocean
left my heartache way behind
but the rain won't leave and the pain won't ease
and the sun don't wanna shine
so i ordered me up a killer
found a view out across the sea
i sat down in the sand
a drink in my hand
and in the glass looking back at me
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a long, long way to go
well i met an old boy from georgia
yeah, his woman done knocked him down
i asked him how's he doing
he stared at me confused
and said, “hey, ain't you looked around?”
he said the rain won't leave
and the pain won't ease
and the sun don't wanna shine
and there's something in the bottom of this drink i just got
and it don't look like a worm to me
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a long, long way to go
so we put our drinks together
and toasted rainy weather
and the women that had done us wrong
then we threw back margaritas
the bug just made it sweeter
and we both sang a happy song
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
