How to play
In Paper.io 2, you control a paper block and move around the map to cover it with your color. The goal is to conquer as much territory as possible and beat the competition. You can steal area from other online opponents by dragging over their white space and paint, then creating a connection with your own color to claim that area. Capture as much space as possible and try to get the highest score in the lobby. The developer says a smooth drawing experience.
Controls explained
Use your mouse to move around and cover the map with your color. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard or the WASD keys to drive your paper block. When you move outside your color, your tail is exposed. You will be eliminated when someone manages to catch your tail. So you need to take care when you leave your own territory.
Tips
- Stay close to your own color when you can, because your tail is exposed outside it.
- Watch for other players trying to catch your tail while you are expanding.
- Claim area by connecting your trail back to your own color.
- Steal white space and paint from opponents to grow faster.
- Keep an eye on the lobby score to see how you compare.
