## What is Paper.io?

Discover Voodoo's new game: Paper.io.
Your goal? To conquer as much territory as possible. It's initially very simple, and the game can be mastered immediately, but watch out: there's competition, and not everyone can win!
Whether you're bold or more careful, you have to be more cunning than your adversaries by finding the best strategy to conquer the most space. But be careful! You have a weak spot: your tail. If an enemy touches it, that's the end for you.
Try to stay ahead, because victory in Paper.io is never certain until you possess all the territory. Stealing is allowed, and your enemies won't hesitate to do so.
After the success of Quiz Run, 1 Pic 8 Words, and Bool, Voodoo now offers you a new gaming and graphics experience inspired by io type games (made popular by agar.io). Enjoy the simplicity and strategy of an io game in a world with unique graphics.
Paper.io is for the whole family and doesn't require an Internet connection.

### 5/5 — TOO FUN!

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.0*

This game is awesome! But… I needed to delete it because I was running out of storage. Still fun though :)

### 1/5 — Use to be awesome

*2026-08-14, version 4.3.0*

Now there are ads every few seconds and it’s soooooo annoying.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2026-08-14, version 4.3.0*

I used to play this game all the time years ago. Now? Too many damm ads! Every 45 seconds of playing, there’s 3 ads that play for 30 seconds each. How annoying.

### 2/5 — This game is a mess now

*2026-08-01, version 4.3.0*

Half of the achievements don’t calculate right. I bought the ‘remove ads’ but they have now put ads in the standard play all the time where you have to click ‘no thanks’ all the time. I do ‘restore purchases’ after a reinstall and it doesn’t do anything. 

At this point I think I’m going to use AI to just make this game again for myself without all the mess.

### 1/5 — Now a terrible game

*2026-07-31, version 4.3.0*

Used to love this game. Now an ad every minute. They have also dumbed down the ai competitors. Way too easy to win now. They sold out

### 1/5 — Play this if you love ADS

*2026-07-19, version 4.3.0*

This game is alll ads!! Most games will just give you ads before or after you play but this will stop you mid game to play an ad! It stinks. I’m doing to have to delete it because the ads are way too frequent I watch more ads than play the actual game!

### 1/5 — Ungodly amount of ads

*2026-07-14, version 4.3.0*

Can’t even play for 5 mins without 3 ad breaks.

### 1/5 — Forced Ads Mid-Match

*2026-06-14, version 4.3.0*

Game forces you to watch ads in the middle of a game

### 2/5 — Boring squares

*2026-06-09, version 4.3.0*

First I did paper io 2 then I started this game today and you can only make squares unlike paper io 2

### 1/5 — Not like it used to be

*2026-06-06, version 4.3.0*

this sucks so bad. all bots now. ads constantly.
