How agario Became My Go-To “Five-Minute Break” Game That Always Lasts an Hour

If there’s one game that has absolutely mastered the art of distracting me, it’s agario. I’ll open it thinking, “Just one quick round while my coffee cools,” and suddenly I’m 40 minutes deep, clutching my mouse like a life-or-death steering wheel, trying not to get eaten by someone named “SnaccTime.” I don’t know whether to blame the game or my own competitive chaos, but either way, I keep coming back.

This post is my attempt to capture the real experience — the ridiculous fights, the near-victories, the humiliating defeats, and the weird emotional bond I feel with a tiny circle on a screen.
