Paper.io 2 is a game for multiple players. Play against other people in real time and try to take up as much space as possible in the field. Take over your opponents' area and paint everything your color.
The goal of this iOS game is to take over as much of the area as possible. When you leave your safe zone, your figures will leave a trail of paint behind them. Once you're back in your zone, all of the land inside the loop you've drawn will turn your color and become part of your area.
But as long as your tail is out in the open and you are outside of your own area, other players can attack you. If another player went through your tail, you would die. You will lose all of your land and have to start all over again.
If you can get away with it, going far outside of your safe zone could help you grow fast. Most of the time, it's not a good idea to be too greedy because it makes you easy to attack. Be careful: stay close to your area and duck in and out often to avoid getting cut off.
When other players aren't around, nibble away at their land. If you see a player with a long trail, move in quickly and cut them off. That way, all of their land will be taken away at once. Their place on the scoreboard will drop all the way to the bottom, giving you a chance to move up.
If you can, move around the area's edges. This will give you more cover as you quietly move around the arena and give you more area. 100% control is possible, but it won't be easy.
