About multiplayer games
Multiplayer games put you against other people, either online with players from around the world or on the same screen with a friend. They include .io arena games, races, sports matches and party games.
In online games your first few rounds are for learning the map. Stay near the edges, grow carefully and avoid bigger players until you can take them on. For two-player games on one keyboard, one player usually uses WASD and the other the arrow keys.
Types of multiplayer games
.io games
.io games are quick online arenas where everyone starts small and tries to grow: eat, claim territory, or survive the longest while other players try to stop you. There is no account and no download, which is why the genre took off in browsers.
2 player games
Two-player games let you share one screen with a friend. On a computer one player usually takes WASD and the other the arrow keys; on a tablet you each take a side of the screen. Some games on this page also offer online rooms, so you can play someone who is not in the room with a code.
