I've been playing way too much https://t.co/NsTK1W0P15 than I'm happy to admit. Contemplating the fluctuating populations over time.

I figured out that the initial fish (that gets a 50% speed boost) can kill top tier fish by pushing them above water and suffocating them.

I get a perverse sense of joy out of breaking mechanics and killing players who've spent hours getting to top evolution, using entry fish.

The only mechanic in game to drive player behavior outside of learning how the fish/environment work is a scoreboard & a leveling system.

Did I say scoreboard? I mean, that's a bountyboard right. RIGHT?The game doesn't really give you any guidance on what winning means.

I play for non-standard utility: I wanna get a team together & try to kill a kracken by pushing it into a low-pressure zone until it dies.

The problem with most of these .IO genre games is: once you get to the top of the scoreboard, you kinda have nothing better to do and leave.

But it is a deeeper experience when you stop "playing to win". Why not LARP as a poisonous jellyfish who enjoys being swallowed by whales?

These games will burn through players as they jump from novel .io to novel .io, to retain a playerbase, there needs to be more like me.
