Starve.io

Night falls fast in Starve.io, and cold kills as reliably as any player. This is survival stripped to its essentials, where a fire, a full stomach and a decent weapon are the difference between climbing the leaderboard and starting over.

How to Play Starve.io?

You spawn with nothing. Gather wood and stone from the world around you, craft better tools from what you collect, and get a fire going before darkness sets in. Once you are stable you can build up a base, cook food and take on other players for their supplies. Pick a game mode before you join, from Normal and Forest through to Zombie, Vampire, Community and Experimental, then choose a server from the list, which shows how many players are on each one.

What Are the Controls?

Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Left click to hit, which covers gathering resources and fighting alike. Press Y to open the map and Enter to chat. Right click cancels crafting and also throws items out of your inventory, and shift clicking near a chest moves items in ten at a time.

Features

• Layered survival pressure from hunger, darkness and hostile players at once
• Six game modes including Zombie, Vampire, Forest and Experimental variants
• A deep crafting chain running from bare hands to a fortified base
• Regional servers across Atlanta, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Osaka and Sydney
• Cosmetics, account progression and a persistent leaderboard

If gathering and building is the appeal, MooMoo.io covers the same ground with windmills and spikes, while Zombs.io leans into defending what you built.
