Editor review
Wave IO Strike is an agar.io-tradition io with split-and-merge tactics. Forty players per server.
What works is the split-and-merge mechanic. Split to chase fast targets; recombine for safety.
Forty-player servers without skill-based matchmaking.
Tested over evening matches from Edinburgh. Sessions vary widely based on survival.
Where the design earns its three-and-a-half is the visual readability of cells at various sizes.
Where I would push back is the absence of matchmaking.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid agar variant.
