What are Dot IO games

Dot IO games are a type of real-time multiplayer games. They are usually very casual, and can be played in any internet browser window. Players compete against one another in a crowded battle arena. The aim is usually to survive for as long as possible. The .io in the game title refers to the internet country code top-level domain assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory. However, the .io domain is often used for projects that have little to do with the British Indian Ocean Territory, such as open source projects and gaming.

How to play

In many .io games, the game revolves around survival and making your character grow bigger. The player usually starts out as a small character, a little glow worm, a fish, a cell, and so forth. By collecting dots and eating other players, the player can make their character grow bigger. The player’s character can usually eat those characters that are smaller, but can be eaten by any character that is bigger. However, in some games, characters have to make a certain move to defeat their opponents, such as hitting them with a weapon. However, bigger characters usually still have the advantage because they are often stronger and have a greater reach.

Team play

Some .io games also allow people to enter the same arena by using a room code. This way, a group of friends can enter the same room and work together to ambush much bigger players.
