You are an orb. Your goal is to survive. But when you move... you shrink. To eat you must be big. Herein lies the dilemma. --- Every life, you start out small and fragile in a harsh world. Become bigger and stronger by eating everything smaller than you! Make allegories to capitalism, Darwinism, and simply life in general and everything in the game becomes relevant. You will lose, but the best part is that you can start over! Even better, compete with your real-life friends, beat their high score and become the biggest real-life winner in absOrby!
