Experience how being popular feels like in Popular Wars. This addictive dot io game allows you to immerse yourself in the competitive world of social influence. In Popular Wars, the player with the most followers wins the game! Every player starts alone on the map, but as you move toward the unaffiliated people, you can make them come under your influence and turn them into your followers.

How to play

The game’s controls are simple and easy to master for players of any age. To move your character around the map, press and hold the left mouse button. The game is played in rounds, each consisting of 5 players, including yourself. Your objective is to gather as many followers as possible by navigating to areas with high concentrations of unaffiliated crowds and seizing them for yourself before your opponents do.

Keep an eye on the upper right corner of the screen to track your score and those of other players. The upper left corner displays the remaining time for the round and the number of players you have eliminated. To eliminate other players, you must gather a bigger crowd of followers than they have. Once the time runs out, the player with the highest score wins the round. So, get ready to unleash your influence, crush the competition, and become the biggest player!

Tips

1. Early Game Strategy: At the start of each round, focus on quickly finding and converting unaffiliated crowds to build your follower base. Look for densely populated areas on the map, as these will help you grow faster.

2. Movement and Positioning: Keep moving constantly. Staying in one place can make you an easy target for larger players. Use your mouse to maneuver swiftly and efficiently across the map to avoid conflicts when you are smaller and to chase down opponents when you have a larger crowd.

3. Avoiding Bigger Players: In the early stages, avoid confrontation with players who have larger crowds. If you see a bigger player approaching, try to steer clear and find another area with available followers.

4. Map Awareness: Regularly check the map to see where unaffiliated crowds are spawning. Prioritize heading to those areas to boost your follower count. Also, be aware of the position of your opponents to either confront them when you have the advantage or avoid them when they are stronger.

5. Timing Your Attacks: When you are confident that your crowd is significantly larger than another player's, move towards them to eliminate them and absorb their followers. Timing is crucial; make sure to attack when you can quickly overpower them without giving them a chance to escape.

6. Eliminating Opponents: To maximize your score, target opponents strategically. Eliminating players with large crowds can give you a significant boost in followers and help secure your dominance on the map.

7. Watching the Clock: Keep an eye on the remaining time in the round. As the timer runs down, make aggressive moves to consolidate your lead or to overtake the current leader.

8. Practice and Patience: Like any game, practice will improve your skills. Learn the map layouts, follower spawn patterns, and the behavior of other players to develop your strategies.

By mastering these tips and honing your skills, you can rise to the top in Popular Wars and show everyone who is the most popular player. Good luck, and may your influence reign supreme!
