🌍 How to Play Acquire
Acquire is a free endless .io game. Eat smaller orbs to grow, dodge bigger ones, climb the global leaderboard with your country flag. No rounds, no cap — keep growing as long as you can survive.
What you see on screen
- Cyan dot labeled "You" — this is you. Move your mouse (or drag your finger) — your dot follows the pointer.
- Colored dots with names (Rune, Pulse, Halo, Shade, etc.) — enemy bots. Some are smaller (prey), some are bigger (threats).
- Tiny bright dots scattered everywhere — food pellets. Eat them to grow.
- Mini-radar at the top — shows nearby bots relative to you in the endless world.
How to grow
- Eat food pellets — each gives a flat size boost. Constant gain forever.
- Eat bots smaller than you — you grow by 40% of their size. This is the main growth driver.
- No size cap — keep growing forever. The world expands around you as you grow.
How you die
- Touch a bot bigger than you → instant death, silent respawn at size 9 with 2-second invulnerability. No restart button — you just keep playing.
- Touch a bot roughly your same size → you both bounce, nobody dies.
🌍 Global leaderboard
Hit a new personal best and a 🏆 prompt appears asking if you want to submit. Pick a display name and your country (with flag), and your best size goes onto the global leaderboard. Climb the world ranks across hundreds of countries.
Tap the 🌍 LEADERBOARD button anytime to see the top 100 globally, or check the leaderboard panel below the game.
Pro tips
- Bigger = slightly slower — your speed drops a tiny bit as you grow, but floors out so big balls never feel impossibly slow.
- Threats are your real competition — about 40% of bots are bigger than you. Hunt the smaller ones, dodge the bigger ones.
- Respawn is instant — no game-over screen, no penalty beyond starting at size 9. Take aggressive risks.
- The world follows you — bots and food are always around you no matter where you go. The arena is truly endless.
Controls
Goal: Grow as large as you can and climb the global leaderboard. Your best size, lifetime kills, and deaths are saved in your browser. Hit a new high score to submit it to the world ranks.
