Cognizant Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hey, does anybody here play IO games, those short online challenges like Agar io? I've discovered that there are thousands of those mini games now, so they must be pretty popular but I've never met/talked to an io game fan :)) as for me I play io games from time to time (to waste it ahahahaha) and what about you?

Empire Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I do not so short games like that, Nope. I have but not for that long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I don't know what you're talking about concerning the IO game you mentioned. Maybe I have one but couldn't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The first one I ever played was Agar.io and it was quite funny. I've tried a few of the other .io games but never really played them a lot. It's fun for a few minutes but eventually it just gets boring. 17 hours ago, Justin11 said: I don't know what you're talking about concerning the IO game you mentioned.

It's like this - https://agar.io/ Basically games on websites that have a .io domain extension Cognizant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'm not sure what their game genre is, to be honest. I guess they count as sort of clicker games because you need to use the mouse mainly to control the avatar and then for some games, click to control it. It terms of the extension, I was just referring to the .io which these games always use in their domains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to switch off my brain for 5-10 minutes while playing them at work during breaks😁it's good that my boss is not against some gaming on the workplace hahhhaha or after work... just to do something stupid and waste a bit of time, kinda of relaxation session Edited April 29, 2022 by Cognizant Justin11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pleasant your boss doesn't worry about your gaming urge at workplace. I believe you wouldn't play io games during working hours? lol.

The Blackangel Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I have a lot of games on my Switch that are an .io extension to the brand. But ever since my dog destroyed my Switch, I couldn't tell you which ones are, and which ones aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just use it as a kind of psychological item like spinner 😃 to relax, enjoy, refocus attention. There's something good for the adult mind in a bit of gaming. Conscious gaming =))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I have played a few like Agar.io but I wouldn't say I'm really into them like that. They do help to pass the time when you're waiting on someone though so there's that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 fav titles - Spyro and Crash Bandicoot - which I can play for hours. And... I'm waiting for Stray cause I like cats very much. I'm quite good at Spyro and Crash but oh no, I'm absolutely not good at .io games. I'm usually killed/dead in the first 2 minutes. I've seen several youtubers playing professionally such games as combines.io or paper-io.com, and their performances are great! I didn't even guess that there could be such well-designed tactics of step-by-step winning where I lose immediately ( and lose interest too). I'm better in using spinner than in playing web games ahahhaah Justin11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
