Description
About This Game
In this game you must roll around in a wacky manner collecting shapes to increase your mass and eat other players. Compete for the top spot on the leaderboard!
In order to eat a shape or other player you must be bigger than them. Watch out for spikes that will remove your mass!
To host your own game, click "Host". Other players will be able to join as described above by clicking "Join"
You can invite and join friends using the Steam overlay.
Note: You will not be able to join games that have a full lobby.
For transparency, multiplayer is tested with 4 players and bots to emulate large lobbies. The game should support up to 250 players per server. You may find that adjusting the max players and / or bot count may improve or degrade your gameplay experience. There is a built in text chat, but not voice chat. If you wish to work as a team it is suggested that you use Discord or Steam Chat.
