Q&A for How to Be Good at Agar.io

You can if you put your cursor in the middle of the cell, but it will still inch forward slowly. It takes a few tries to get your cell to stay still. I only stay still when I'm in a virus, because if you are out in the open, it makes you easy prey.

If you're small, you have speed as your advantage. And if you want, you can split to make you move farther away, but note that this decreases your mass.

There's no way to merge on command. Wait approximately 30 seconds and you should come back together.

The smaller you are, the faster you go. This can help you get away from larger people and it is easier to avoid things such as a pop split if you can move around faster.

Chances are you'll be smaller than the pro team, so use your speed to run away as fast as possible.

If they are chasing you, but they can't quite catch you, there is a high chance they will split. If you also have a decent amount of mass, and they can split on you, there is a high chance they will. Try and put a virus between you and the other players to stop them from splitting on you.

Yes. If they're almost the same size as you, they can get bigger and eat you because when you split you get smaller.

To have a skin, you have to create an account by logging in to your Google+ account. And once you have enough coins, you can buy a skin. Another way is when you level up (if you have an account) you can get skins once you reach a certain level.

Mother cells (more commonly known as spawners) look like red viruses. They spawn more rarely than viruses, and are only accessible in few game modes (like experimental). Spawners produce little dots (the ones you see scattered all over the map) a short distance from where they are. Mass that goes inside it (like the big dots you cell ejects, or even a small player) will come out in the form of a bunch of these tiny dots (based on the size of the mass that goes in). When a player gets bigger than a spawner, it acts like a normal virus, and makes you split (under most condition). Players that are about the same size of a spawner cannot be split or eaten by it, but rather hide in it.

You may want to practice in more isolated or easier servers before you move onto the big ones like FFA. Try experimental first. You might want to try "teams" last, as players in there would do anything to eat a cell on another team, even if the cell is a tenth of their size.
