Paper.io – Casual Game Review
Paper.io is a Casual/Entertainment game from Voodoo, first launched in 4th November 2016.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 156,469+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Paper.io Stand Out
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.
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Its a great way to waste time but definitely not multiplayer tho.
New crispy chicken pretzel fries at burger King. Crunchy pretzel on the outside. Tender juicy white meat chicken inside. New crispy chicken pretzel fries only at burger King.
This game has sucked us in for years. We bought the no ads because dammm! Those things will dominate all your time for as often as we lose. Without ads, this is a fun game.
We like it because we are so good at it we were the king 2 minutes ago.
Love how theres fun challenges and everything in the game is kinda blocky. Very cool :D.
We remember we used to play this game all the time it is very enjoyable and fun but it sad and brings back so much nostalgia and now nobody plays the game us and our brother used to play this all the time thank you to all the people that haloed make this wonderful game thank yall.
So much fun! Great to play any time! 10/10 from us.
We like this game because its fun and but if you go to the power-ups it says you have to watch an adand if we Im doing challenges click speed mode we get killed by another Player And we also Went to 100%percent of the map percent of the map.
Love the game. Wish we could pay to remove ads.
Great game, love it, make it online! We AM SO TIRED OF THE BOTS!!!! Also Id appreciate it if you would make a friend system so we can play with our friends at least.
We love it!!! But theres 2 problems. The ads! Constantly!!! Too many ads! We hate ads. And every like 3 kills, theres an ad! Uuuuuugh! And Im really good at the game, which gets us 3 kills a second! But it says like 5 secs before the ad, so we try to not be in the middle of something when the ad is gonna appear. The other problem could not be a problem and Im just so good at the game (not to brag, its just the truth) that it seems like it. The people are so bad (no offense) that we think theyre nps. They go right into our territory so we can kill them. These problems dont seem to happen in this game, just in #2 and in #3, and in #4, only the npc problem.
There is a bug on challenge 21 that is not allowing us to win it. The game freezes and forces us to close the app.
Paper.us one of our favorite games Ive reviewed a lot of paper.io games paper.io one is OK we like paper.io to the most nothing compared to paper.io two, but this game is all right pretty hard, but it brings the paper in paper.io.
We love this game sm but we noticed that there are some glitches with the progress on different avatars. We have the requirements for a few of them, though the game hasnt recognized that yet and its almost like its stuck until we re-complete a past challenge or complete a new one to trigger it as completed. Also the time consecutive ones keep resetting despite us playing everyday. Other than this, the game is really fun.
Claims to have no adds yet there are many. Otherwise an enjoyable game.
We think this game is too easy because we just play for like 10 seconds and Im we first place. In unblocked games we play paper io and its soooo hard to even get on the leaderboard but we do think the game is still pretty good.
Theres a add after almost every 30 seconds. Instead we recommend a add after every match.
We like all of it, but we keep losing.
Whats the point of buying it if theres still ads every single time.
We decided to get the adds free option, but after each death you get a watch add to continue screen with a BIG watch button and a little no thanks button that comes in after a few seconds and your not able to hit it easy. Also, our name and skin dont stay the same when we relaunch the game. Other than that, its a good way to kill time.
We played this game alot as a kid and it was always very very fun. We redownloaded it for old time sakes and it has definitely shifted from a fun game for ppl to enjoy to a way to make money money money. There are adds every 60 seconds interrupting game play, never saves your high scores, and every time we get up to about 80% which is easier for us since ive played so so much it freezes out and you have to exit out of the game. Very disappointing. In the past there were only ads after you finished a game, saved your progress, and did glitch out nearly as much.
Tried all Paper ios- # 1, eh. Beat and done. # 2 is good, but lots of glitches and not expanding. The side games are fun. We wish they did more side games, war, contests. Give this one more updates, its the best one. #3 and #4 paper iO, 100% sure most of the reviews are bought. Dont waste money on those ones. They are paid to never let you win. Read the negative reviews and youll see the consistency of truth. You will always glitch out and never reach 100% map.
Last three challenges are impossible to complete. Especially with the other players killing you.
Its very obvious youre not actually playing against real people and not only do you have to watch an ad before every single game but also 100 during not fun at All.
Back when paper.io was actually a good game, it had horizontal mode (on this model its vertical and we hate it) there is a bunch of ads in the middle of the game, and what even happened to the ui? It used to be nice and black and managable.
We downloaded the game again for the first time in years only to be met with 3 ads before we could even press play. And we were hit with an unavoidable ad WHILE PLAYING.
This games makes us mad sometimes. Literally if u lose a game or round we should say it will ask if u would like to get a second chance to save you spot but if u click no thanks it will give u an add anyway.
This used to be one of our favorite mobile games, but it is borderline unplayable now because of all the constant ads, shame.
We remember when this game first came out, you could play a whole match through without watching ads, now you cant play with out multiple ads throughout one match, not including the optional ads you can watch if you want to use the power ups you find – this game used to be a lot more fun.
We just redownloaded this app after having it a few years ago and it's riddled with ads. Including ads after the game is whatever, but they started including them while we're playing. Instantly deleted the app. It used to be fun:(.
So Ill be playing the game and out of no where and ad will start playing, we often play on airplane mode but then we miss texts.
Too many ads. The game itself is fun, but the ads pop up constantly.
When this app came out the enemies were harder, ads only appeared when you died, you could play on your phone horizontally, etc. Since then its only gotten worse and the achievements are still buggy. We cant even restore our Remove Ads from back when we played before.
The game is fun when you can play it. But throwing an ad in your face every 60 seconds is annoying. We get you want us to buy the full version, but maybe stop being so gluttonous and let us not lose the game because an ad appeared.
We almost completed an entire board but because of lagging it timed out and didnt keep the 90% progress we had made.
We just beat 100% of the map without dying.
Love the game. We play it all the time. Ive gotten so good at it Ive now started drawing things with the characters. Would or could you put a separate game on the menu where its a free play with no other opponents as like a free for all. We think that would be cool. Thanks.
Ive had paper.io for years. Finally decided to pay to remove the ads. However, we are still seeing ads. We did not get what we paid for. Please fix! Also, there is no contact for tech support or help for voodoo games. This review is the only way to reach out. Please remove our ads as Ive paid for them to vanish! Thank you July 27, 2023 Last review: This is our favorite game. Have had it for years. Literally play it every day. But in the last week it has refused to load. When we click on it Voodoo comes up as usual and then just fades away and the game never loads. We finally had to delete the game, lose our profile and years of progress and download the game again. But now every time we go off of paper.io the same thing happens again and we have to delete the game and download it again. It is distressing! Please, please fix this major flaw.
It is a fun game that takes up your boredom. Causes rage to go on. Has challenges that you can replay. But the adds are annoying. Especially when you are in the middle of a game in the open! But when you dont have Wi-Fi it is very fun. It could use some debuggers to get rid of some glitches that are annoying.
This game is pretty good but it is not as good as some of the other paper io. Games. Maybe you can make some changes to where you can make your paper any shape you want to make it and not just a boring square.
We have always enjoyed this game. It did used to be more challenging though. We would like to have more difficulty perhaps getting to 100 percent on the special map challenge or new maps. Thank you.
We have solved this game over and over! Please make some new shapes! It has been years since a real update.
It is very enjoyable but it needs more challenges and fix some glitches. Ive practically completed the entire game. The need to create an update and expand.
Had this app for years. Great simple game and used to not have the ads. Youre ruining the game with ads.
No real players will be present in each game unfortunately.
We used to love playing this game a few years back so we decided to redownload the game only to discover its littered with ads. Theres an ad every 30 seconds while your in the middle of the game. Its really annoying when your trying to play. The old Paper.io with less ads was better.
Alright so dont get us wrong, this game is addicting and fun. We play it when Im bored and its an enjoyable game. However, we are disappointed with how the game has come. When we first started playing it (3 years ago) the game looked so polished, smooth, and clean, now it looks the opposite. The change in graphics and turning the game to a vertical game just ruins it for us. Ill still play it but we just how the game looks now compared to 3 years ago.
Ive beat the games so many times its not worth it.
Fun game but youll spend more time being interrupted by ads than playing the game.
This game is really fun whenever you can actually play it. Id rate it 5 stars if the lag wasnt so bad. Also, way too many ads and they cause it to lag even more.
