Gameplay

Paper.io is a game where you must direct an ever moving colored paper block to cover as much area as possible. Movement options are limited to up and down or left and right by swiping to the preferred direction. If someone crosses your path before you fully enclose an area, you’ll die. If you cross your own path, you’ll die. If you hit a wall, you’ll die. That’s it. But these basic rules make for an interesting experience as there is always room to improve, and Paper.io has created an appealing design to make it even better. The graphics are very minimal but there are many colorful avatars which can be chosen to spice up visuals. There are to ways to work toward success in game: coins which are collected periodically by taking up more space and eliminating other players for high score percentage which shows how much of the board you are able to conquer. The Bots in the game meanwhile are trying to accomplish the same goal and stop you. While the game is free to play there is a multitude of ads that will pop up which can be disruptive at times.

Micro-transactions and Avatars

Micro-transactions can be used to remove ads and pay for avatars that may be more expensive normally when using in game currency. The avatars have their own little features such as specific trails which can be paid for by collecting coins in game. There are many skins to choose from including vehicles, animals, and festive objects such as Christmas trees, etc.
