I wonder if modeling this as a complex system with self interested agents and randomly appearing nodes could show some interesting emergent properties. At least it would be a worthwhile simulation. Does anyone know who is the creator of this game and whether the code is open source?

After the MMO Asteroids incident [1], I had to switch off my network connection to reassure myself that it isn't fake.

If you're looking for a more in-depth experience, check out Osmos [2], the single-player game that probably inspired this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is it possible to merge back in to one? Can you 'eat' yourself?

Yes, though I'm still not sure what triggers it.

You just need to feed one of the parts to be big enough to swallow the smaller parts, and then you can remerge after you pass the threshold

After reading your comment I expected that the game will be some kind of countryball/landball meme spin-off :)
