.IO games take one simple idea and drop dozens of strangers into it at once. You start small — a dot, a snake, a scrap of territory — and you grow by taking from everyone else, while they try to do the same to you. The name comes from the .io web domain that the first wave of these games used, and it stuck as shorthand for the whole genre.
What makes them work is that there is no lobby to wait in and no match to commit to. You join a game already in progress, and if you die you are back in seconds. A run might last twenty seconds or ten minutes, and both feel fine.
They run in the browser with nothing installed and no account. A steady connection matters more here than raw computer speed, since everything depends on the server keeping every player in sync.
