About Crowd Eater.io
Crowd Eater.io is a 3D eat and grow io game set on busy city streets. You are a small coloured stickman in a town full of wandering people, and every one you bump into is eaten and makes you a little bigger. Four rivals are doing exactly the same thing, and the leaderboard in the corner shows who is the biggest right now.
Size is everything: walk into a rival smaller than you and you swallow them, walk into a bigger one and you are the one who gets eaten. Each round lasts two minutes. Be the biggest when the timer hits zero, or eat all four rivals before then, to win. Every round counts up the level: the crowd grows, golden people worth five coins appear, the rivals get quicker, every fifth round is a rush hour with twice the crowd, and every three rounds the city changes mood, from a bright day and a sunset to city lights at night, a snow day and cherry spring.
Coins buy seven colours for your stickman and three upgrades: Big Start begins the round larger, Speed makes you move faster, and Coin Bonus raises your reward. If you get eaten you can come back once per round at the size you had, with a moment of safety, and if time runs out you can buy thirty more seconds. Crowd Eater.io works on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

Tips

- Keep an eye on the leaderboard: if a rival's name is above yours, it is bigger than you.
- You are much faster than the wandering people, so sweep through groups of them instead of chasing one at a time.
- Big Start lets you bully the rivals from the first second, which makes it a strong first buy.
