We’ve made several improvements under the hood to make your Paper.io 2 experience smoother than ever!
Expect better performance, refreshed visuals, and minor bug fixes across the board. Enjoy your conquest - now faster and cleaner!
Paper.io 2 takes the addictive territory-conquering formula of the original and refines it into a much smoother, more competitive experience. The core loop is deceptively simple: you control a colored block and leave a trail to claim space. The catch is that you are vulnerable while outside your zone; if another player crosses your tail, it's game over. This creates a high-stakes 'risk vs. reward' dynamic where you have to balance aggressive expansion with defensive caution.
What really stands out in this sequel is the improved fluid movement. Unlike the 90-degree turns of the first game, you can now move in any direction, allowing for organic shapes and much more tactical maneuvering. The addition of varied maps, unlockable skins, and daily challenges provides a steady stream of goals that keep you coming back for 'just one more round.' While the advertisements can be a bit frequent in the free version, the gameplay itself remains a masterclass in minimalist mobile design.
Smooth 360-degree movement
Unlockable character skins
Daily challenges and rewards
Global leaderboards
Competitive multiplayer gameplay
Start in your home zone. Move out to draw a line, then return to your zone to convert the enclosed area into your color. Expand slowly to stay safe!
Watch for other players who are outside their zones. If you run into their trail before they return home, they are eliminated instantly.
Use the joystick to move in any direction. The 360-degree controls allow for tighter circles and more complex expansion strategies compared to the original.
Yes, you can play against AI bots in an offline mode if you don't have an internet connection.
OK, it’s OK but like sometimes it’s so laggy and I don’t really like that and it like I go to like Christian heritage and they have so much better service and they play games. Don’t let me change the subject about this game. I get this game about 4 1/2 stars, so I don’t really like it so laggy too many ads so don’t download it and you should actually check out a new game it is called Block Blast!. I would review for that one and I said I loved it so and my name is you better write a review and think what you think of my review and I’ll read your review and see what you say. You should try a Block Blast! now this is going to be a long review so there is some games that cost money so these are the games so don’t get Donna AI they’re lying it cost money you’ll get to do one song and I think this game is better then Donna AI in the game that shows you what you’re gonna look like when you get older that game is bad too cause it literally cost 55 bucks for 80 bucks for a person to get their fan so don’t get that game on your phone it says that if you’re lying, it has a beep don’t get that either. It cost money and there’s a game that is like you press the button and you speak into it and then it says dog language and understand what you’re saying don’t get any of these. They are horrible and I’m sorry about this wrong review. Sorry to waste your time.
I love this game so much! I’ve almost got all the little guys but I have two real big issues with the game I can be in a round and then all of a sudden I would think I get popped up with an ad when it’s really just the thing that’s on the very bottom of the screen so I’m still inside of the match almost about to win and then I feel my phone vibrate and it does that when I die so I’m getting so upset so mad and then when I realized that it’s not even an ad to begin with I just got killed because I apparently “touched” the little thing that’s on the very bottom of the screen and then the other really big issue I have is with the notifications I can be watching a movie or playing a different game and then all of a sudden I’ll get the notification that somebody is attacking one of my countries and how I needed to defend my country so when I get onto the app and when I get to the little thing and I look at my shields none of my shields are down and I’m getting so mad that every single time when my shields are actually broken It’s not giving me the notifications for that and it’s just aggravating me so much why does the game do this way? None of my shields are broken to begin with? No! And not only that I’m getting “killed” when no one has gotten close to me when I start up a new game and everyone is going to me I kill all of them no problem but then when I’m in my own color I get killed? It’s dumb and unfair
I’m just downloading the app. The adds say it’s fun and the reviews look good. Think I’ll enjoy it. But the first thing I’ll do is name myself Thor. I hope the hack works, because I feel like everyone will have one and if I don’t….anyway, will write more once I play. (Several minutes later) Okay did the first round. Little disappointed, I typed ‘Thor ‘ as my name but sadly the hack doesn’t work anymore because it gave me a hammer skin, not Thor. And when I played I was going against normal people, not enemies of Thor. But otherwise,so far, the games okay . I just wish the hack would have worked. Kinda wanted the hammer. There are a few to many adds. It kind of makes it not fun. The adds are after and in the games every time. I always only last 2 sec, yet the moment I exit the game. I’m blasted with an add. The add takes 1min or more to finish. Then, I’m about to hit ‘play’, and it says I can get 5x bigger by watching an add. Cool, but no thanks. So I hit ‘play,’ and it blasts me with an add,even though I dint hit 5x bigger and I dint get 5x bigger. The adds are so annoying and take away the fun. Honestly, your watching adds more often then your actually playing the game. I’m going to get red of the app tomorrow. Unless you like adds,don’t get. For your own fun. (Only 5 stars so u could see).
i really like this game. i would play it multiple times a day, and recommended it to a lot of people. i like how you can get new skins, power up, and try to get 100% of the country on the map. there are also a lot of ads, which i understand, that they need ads to keep the game going, but it’s A LOT. every time you kill about 3 people, you get an ad. plus, when they give you an option to watch an ad for a reward or continue and not watch an ad, and you click continue because you don’t care for the reward and don’t want to see an ad, most of the time, you still get one. this is for a lot of free games though, too. so this isn’t my biggest problem with the game. i think it is the new TIMER UPDATE. after one minute in a round, it says times up. it only gives me a minute to try to get as much of the map as possible. i really am upset about this, and i hope it isn’t permanent. i love love lOvEd the game before this, and i may end up deleting it if they don’t change the update. you also have to pay a gem to look at the map, and it goes away and you have to pay again after 12 hours, UNNECESSARY MUCH?? i never thought i was going to write a review before this, but i wanted you to know, and if a developer reads this, maybe they can change it. thank you for your time, and i hope you can consider this.
This is a great game and I’ve been playing it non stop for the past 3 days. However, I keep encountering the same problem over and over that is hindering my experience and the reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. WAY TOO MANY ADS. Every power up you get you need to watch an ad for and every 30ish seconds an ad plays while your in a game. The ads are only about 15 seconds but there are so many of them. Every time you finish a game an ad plays which is very annoying. I was hoping there was a way to buy no ads like on other games but I was very surprised to see that it is 10 DOLLARS to remove ads. But you still have to watch them for power ups and extra lives which is ridiculous. No ads should only be $1.99 or $2.99 like it is on every other game. I would definitely buy it if it were a more reasonable price. I really like the games Voodoo makes however it seems like they’ve gotten greedy in recent years and have been jam packing ads into them. As well as having a no ads option at a dumb price. Normally it wouldn’t be a problem but they pack so many ads into they’re games (especially this one) that it’s not even enjoyable without buying no ads. But due to the outrageous price I will not be buying it. Once you get past the ads though this is a great game and is very addictive.
*Please Read* *There are so many ads on this game that I can’t click touch to continue, If you completely got rid of ads this game just might be way better. **Another thing eliminating yourself! You shouldn’t be able to eliminate yourself because you can turn to slow or the wrong way and end up eliminated, Also you shouldn’t be able to die from someone cutting your line. Instead when your line is cut you should be able to get back to your safe zone. This game also should have a feature that alerts you from where you territory is being taken. ***Game modes! My opinion on game modes is I LOVE THEM, and if the game could have some that would be great! Some suggestions 1vs1, Teams (5vs5, 2vs2vs2vs2vs2), Race (Who can get to 10% first)! I’m not entirely sure how many people there are per game, but i think it should be 10 if it is not. ****Feedback on skins! The skin variations are good, but should still have more easier and harder skins to get, and get EXTREMELY creative with the skins. No one once simplistic animals and objects, Maybe do something like a castle or Zeus! *****I hope you take all these ideas and include a big portion of them in the game, and use other people’s ideas!
I really like this game and I enjoy it but the only problem is there’s too many lags and ads everything else is fine. When I first join and I start the game everything goes well until it lagged and I can’t move at all and then it stops and does it again over and over again but my Wi-Fi is perfectly fine I don’t know what’s wrong and I especially hate games that lag like this. is the little timer thing whenever it goes off it puts me in an ad but not usually because its to laggy I have to refresh and join again please fix it.😡😡😡 I have no idea why it keeps doing this but everything else is fine the game is fun but I just don’t like all that stuff. I hope someone reads this but I don’t even think the developers even read the reviews because I read many reviews and I don’t see any updates on them and I don’t see them changing anything oh and there’s not very many reviews so they should have time not like they’re making a game every few hours. One more thing is that when I just start and I accidentally die you already get an ad why can’t wait until you are playing for a long time to get in and not when you just start because also when you finish your country because you have to watch an add and then if that happens then you have to watch another add right after I just hate it please fix this game get rid of the ads but you can still keep some ads I know like some games still keep them but still there’s too many
The game is fun I will not lie but you don’t even update it. I have played some of you games before and I did like them a bit but a main problem is you don’t really update them and just make a new game with a bunch of ads. I see you that you need the money but is it really necessary to fill all your games with ads most of us just want to have fun and play I would not mind 1 ad every 10 to 15 rounds but it just gets annoying. Also I really don’t like this game for only really 1 reason it is bots they are so annoying I can’t stay out of my area for 1 second without getting killed by bots! I was out my area for like 2 seconds once and I died I see it as almost impossible to fill up the map because the bots will just find a way to kill you somehow. And you probably aren’t even reading this because I feel like you don’t respond to reviews or reflect on them since I notice that people make reviews also but you don’t seem to make updates or try fixing your mistakes I would like it if you looked at what we say and try making your games better! And also I see a lot of companies doing what you are doing. Filling games with ads make it useless to play when you complete it and move on after to make a new game with the same thing. And yes I do think this game is fun but really stop making your games have garbage features and not even trying to make them better. I rarely see games that don’t do these things!
