[coeddie11]

Paper IO is a fun and competitive multiplayer game where players aim to conquer as much territory as possible while avoiding elimination. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to play and win paper io!

1. Understanding the Basics
You control a small colored square that moves around the map.
As you move, you leave a colored trail behind you.
To capture territory, create a loop and return to your existing land. The enclosed space becomes yours.
If an opponent crosses your trail before you complete a loop, you are eliminated.
2. Controls
PC/Laptop: Use the arrow keys or WASD to move in four directions (up, down, left, right).
Mobile: Swipe in the direction you want to move.
3. Strategies for Success
Expand Smartly – Take small sections at a time to minimize risk.
Cut Off Opponents – If you cross another player's trail before they finish their loop, they are eliminated.
Defend Your Territory – Avoid moving too far from your base to reduce exposure.
Control Key Areas – Expanding towards the center gives you more space to grow.

4. Game Modes
Classic Mode – Standard free-for-all territory battle.
Teams Mode – Work with teammates to dominate the map.
Solo Mode – Try to conquer 100% of the map without opponents.
