Goons.io iterates on the classic Agar.io formula by granting players weapons instead of increasing their size. Each elimination grants points and adds a small amount of length to a player's sword.

There's almost no depth to the combat, but, unlike in some .io games, recently-respawned players actually have a chance of taking out more established opponents. Longer weapons offer incredible advantages, but unaware players may well be taken out by crafty counterparts waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
