I am looking for the title a free multiplayer (on one machine) DOS game i can't remember

Players are steering (with cursors/WASD keys) kind of ufos which looks like donuts from top-down view. These 'ufos' attract colored particles. When your particles collide with particles from other players (in a different color), the colors will mix. If the particles are more your color than the other players color, they will start following you.

The only remaining player (with the most color particles) wins the game.

Can you please give me the game title?

THANK YOU!
