We know that there are a lot of fans out there, so this list of best .io games for mobile phones and tablets will kick close to home for sure.

It all started with a web browser-based game called Agar.io, made by Brazilian developer Matheus Valadares. In this simplistic massively multiplayer game, players control a circular cell in an endless petri dish and must gobble up smaller cells (controlled by other players) to survive and grow.

Consequently, the .io genre was born. We’ve seen a whole flood of imitators since, all playing their own meta-game of survival of the fittest.

These games are typically quite stripped back and are often playable through a website and on smart devices.

The .io genre has grown to a considerable size, with dozens if not hundreds of games taking up Agar.io’s mantle. Along the way, this fledgling genre has spread its wings and adopted a range of other influences and gameplay mechanics.
