Inside the world
Make distance social.
AGARVOICE adds a social dimension to a familiar cell-game format. Approach another player and their voice becomes audible. As the distance closes, the voice grows louder; its stereo position follows the player on screen.
That simple relationship turns movement into a way of joining and leaving a conversation.

Inside the world
Keep the connection stable.
The server decides which players are near enough to connect. Different connect and disconnect distances prevent the audio relationship from flickering at a boundary.
The browser combines direct voice connections with an audio graph for gain and stereo position. Visible microphone controls and speaking indicators explain what is happening.
03
Inside the world
A complete experimental loop.
The surrounding prototype includes cell movement, splitting, growth, bots, accounts, skins, and persistence. The server controls game and wallet state.
Movement, identity, voice, and progression share the same game space, giving the proximity mechanic a complete setting to explore.
