Rush Mode (also known as Rush Match) is a game mode added to the mobile version of Agar.io in July 2016. Rush Mode is unlocked only after a player reaches Level 4. Rush Mode is not yet available in the browser version of the game.
Description[]
In this game mode, a player has 5 minutes to gain as much mass as possible. Single spawn Rush Mass boosts are available for 9 coins (+20 Mass) or 19 coins (+40 Mass). Viruses are red and require only 3 ejected mass balls to create a new one. After the match ends, the results are displayed with the Top 10 players.
