About Paper.IO 2
Paper.io 2 is a territory game in the .io tradition. You control a moving block that leaves a trail, and any loop you close back into your own color becomes your land. Other players are doing the same thing on the same map, and the entire tension of the game comes from the trail: while you are outside your territory you are exposed, and a single touch from another player kills you. The second game in the series adds smooth curved movement to the original grid-based version, so lines bend and loops can be drawn as arcs rather than right angles.
It is well suited to the browser because each round is short, the controls are a single direction input, and there is nothing to learn beyond the rule about trails. The game runs in a mobile browser as comfortably as on a desktop, and a match can be abandoned or restarted in seconds. Paper.io 2 is a browser version of the Paper.io 2 game popularized on phones, and it is not a substitute for or an official copy of that mobile app.
Paper.io 2 is for players who enjoy risk management more than reflexes. The winning move is usually patience: expand steadily, punish greedy opponents, and never leave a long trail without an exit. It appeals equally to younger players who like coloring in the map and to competitive players who like the scoreboard.

How to play Paper.IO 2
Steer a colored line away from your base to claim territory, then loop back home before another player cuts your trail.
- 1Press Play and you spawn on a small patch of your own color in a shared arena.
- 2Move with the mouse or the arrow keys. Your character moves constantly and leaves a trail behind it.
- 3Draw a loop out from your territory and back into it. The area you enclosed becomes yours.
- 4Stay alert while your trail is exposed. If any player crosses it, you are eliminated, and the same applies to them.
- 5Grow your share of the map until the round ends or you hold the highest percentage on the scoreboard.
Tips and strategy
- Make many small loops early instead of one large one. A big loop leaves a long trail that is easy to cut.
- Attack when an opponent is far from home. Their trail is longest and most vulnerable at that moment.
- You are safe inside your own territory, so retreat to it when someone is heading straight for you.
- Cutting through an enemy area and returning home steals it. Corners of their territory are the cheapest to take.
- Watch the edge of the map. Running into it ends your run just like crossing your own trail does.
