Petri Dish

Welcome to the most competitive ecosystem on the entire internet with Petri Dish! Enjoy a fast-paced sandbox game in which you will start playing as a tiny cell with an insatiable hunger. Your mission will be simple: absorb stars, grow as much as possible and devour other players to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

Inspired by the classics of the genre, Petri Dish takes the experience one step further with a massive variety of modes, gigantic servers and an active community with integrated chat. In this world, every move is a gamble: will you split up to hunt your prey or end up as lunch for someone bigger?

In the basic mode, balance will be the key: you'll have to navigate a map full of food (with sizes varying according to the server) and avoid the dangerous green viruses, which will fragment you into multiple pieces if you touch them while you're big. With a mass limit of 22,500 units, the game will become a dance of risk and reward - learn how to eject mass to set traps for your opponents and use the viruses to your advantage by mastering the art of splitting to absorb your opponents in the blink of an eye!

What are the main features of the Petri Dish game?

• Join the action in huge rooms that can hold 300, 400 or even 700 simultaneous players.
• Start playing as a small dot and become a giant of 22,500 units of mass.
• Use the elements of the environment to divide your enemies or hide if you are small.
• Chat in real time with other players, forge alliances or declare wars in the middle of the game.
• Unlike other similar games, here the rhythm and rules will change according to the mode you choose.
• At the beginning, stay on the edges and consume stars. Don't pick a fight until you are of a size that allows you to split the cell with confidence.
• Eject some mass to lure greedy players into a virus or a corner - when they get close enough, split up and punish them!
• Divide only if you are absolutely certain that you will be able to absorb the target. If you fail, you will be too vulnerable!
• In group modes, don't play alone. Protect your larger allies and help them to corner targets - there is strength in numbers!

Use viruses as shields! If you are a small cell and you are being chased by a giant, hide behind (or inside) a green virus. Your opponent won't be able to touch it without exploding, giving you the time you need to escape. In Petri Dish, size matters... It's time to eat!
