Agar.io was created by two talented brothers by the name of Jalal Noorzai and Bilal Noorzai. Initially advertised on 28 April 2015 on 4chan as a browser game, Agar.io was a quick success; the agar.io website (for the browser version) was ranked by Jalal as one of the 1,000 most visited websites,[7] and the mobile versions were downloaded more than ten million times during its first week. Reception of the game was positive; it received particular praise for its simplicity, competition, and mechanics; while some disliked its repetitiveness. A downloadable Steam version was planned and announced on 3 May 2015, and the mobile version of Agar.io for iOS and Android was released on 8 July 2015 by Jalal and Bilal.
