CLUSTER GAME-PLAYERS-MULTIPLAYER · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-07-08
Multiplayer cell-eating games
This cluster comprises real-time multiplayer games where players control cells, eat others to grow, and avoid being consumed, with implementations as browser games, a client for Windows/macOS/Android, and a Java client. The dated history before the index start includes only 3 entries, too thin to discern a shape—the cluster likely predates the index or has undated members. Traction leaders (SlimeGame, PetriDishJavaClient, Agar.io) each show 0 stars, so no member leads noticeably in activity.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
