Length is the way the game determines how big a snake is. Having a longer length will lower your Turn Radius.

Gaining Mass/Length

Currently, the only ways to gain mass is by pellets.

Gaining pellets depends on your Style of Gameplay.

  • If you are playing aggressively, you will mostly eat the clusters of pellets left in the remains of other Players.
  • If you are a Passive or Scavenging Snake, you will only eat the Generated and Evasive Pellets that lay around the map.
  • If you are a Self-Defensive Passive, you will still eat Generated/Evasive pellets, but you may eat the remains of other Players as well.
  • If you are a combo, you may have multiple styles of gameplay.

Losing Mass

Unlike its predecessor, Agar.io, a snake does not lose mass over time. However, if you dash, it will cost you some mass. When you have 10 or 11 mass, you will be unable to dash. The only other way to lose mass is to die to another snake or a barrier.
