About Paper.io 2
Paper.io 2 is the addictive territory-expansion .io game where you control a coloured square and paint the map to grow your dominion. Make loops to claim territory, but your tail is vulnerable — any opponent who crosses it eliminates you instantly.
The risk-reward balance of extending into enemy territory while leaving your tail exposed creates constant high-tension decisions. A single aggressive loop can triple your territory or end your run in an instant.
How to Play
Control your square with Arrow Keys or WASD. Move out of your coloured territory to paint new areas. Return to your own colour to claim the enclosed space as your own. Touch another player's tail or have them cross yours to eliminate them.
Big loops are high risk, high reward. Small, safe loops grow territory slowly but keep you alive. Cutting off a distracted player's long tail with a quick intercept is the most satisfying play in the game.

Tips & Strategies
Secure the corners and edges of the map early — they have fewer angles of attack and let you expand safely behind natural boundaries.
Watch for players who venture far from their base — a quick interception of their exposed tail gives you both an elimination and a territory bonus when they die.
