Paper.io Reviews

by Lololololopopopopop

When I first downloaded it I thought it was going to be the same version as the computer. I was wrong. When I first loaded up the game I enjoyed it. Once I upgraded to my iPhone X it started annoying me with the Poot attempt to try to make it compatible. When you start it up the notch blocks part of the screen which shouldn’t happen. The bar that tells you your best score is blocked. Another complaint is that you always spawn too close to the bots or the bots spawn too close to you. It already happened to me that when I spawned in the bot just so happened to enclose me and made his territory surrounding me which ended killing me since I just spawned in. Another time I spawned in and when I did I killed another bot Instantly. Sometimes when I try to respawn the game freezes and i have to boot it up again. My last complaint is that when I die, I get a option saying if I want to get a second life but if I do I have to watch an ad. Which I don’t mind. But what I do mind is if when I click the button to not get a second life I get an ad immediately after that. This has happened to me four or five times already and is getting annoying. I recommend playing the website version and not this.

Let me start by saying I love this game. I usually hate games on iPhone simply because they are too hard to control, but this is super simple and easy to play. There are however, many flaws to this game. First of all, they need to add live action multiplayer, instead of just bots. It would be much more fun playing against real people in real-time. Secondly, the controls need to be improved. The swipe method to turn is great, but incredibly slow. I like to use the directional pad when I play, but they are even slower and less responsive than the swipe. Thirdly, the wall kills you no matter when you turn. The wall should not kill you, it should automatically make you turn. Fourth, we should have different map choices. I like how in the challenges there are some maps with obstacles, or some very small maps, those would be massively entertaining to play multiplayer on. Lastly, there are simply too many bots playing on the map at one time. It is nearly impossible to gain more than 40-50% because your avatar can’t move fast enough to protect your space, and if you go out and get more you’re losing just as much just as fast.

It’s a fun game, love it in fact. But I’m having a problem with the unlocking part I did do the challenges and it’s even says I completed the challenges. Except when I got back to the main screen ready to get the tank and the lady bug the game crashed. No big deal I load it up again and I go to the character selection and there not unlocked and I tried doing the challenges again but it won’t count, and I collected 34% of the map in one go and I don’t have the PEGASUS 24!!!! It’s irritating.

The ads are just stupid I press “ no I don’t want an ad to be revived” and 9 times out of ten I get an ad anyways...and when I want to get revived and I watch and ad I don’t get revived even though I watched the whole thing! Then another ad comes up right after that taking me back to the main screen!! then there’s that ad when your trying to complete the challenges blocking half the screen!!!

And please fix the glitch where you die you don’t get the option for the ad AND you don’t get sent back to the main menu. I have to leave the entire game and restart it cause it dose t take me to the menu.

This game is not very well made, and is hard. But the visuals are nice, I guess. I advise they make servers smaller, I often get put in the same place where I died because of all the space taken up because there’s about 150 people in the same small place. The turning is extremely to sharp, causing you to often not be able to turn in time or at the right time. This game causes me to ragequit often because of how many people will try to take your space and kill you at the exact same time (see comment about too many people in one server 🤧) but the visuals and skins are nice. Another thing is this has entirely too many ads. One ad after you die doesn’t add up with dying constantly. (see comment about too many people in one server 🤧) I bought the “no ads” which was first of all, overpriced (3 bucks I paid 90 cents for no ads in better games than this) second of all, you can’t revive yourself anymore, and third of all after a bought it, I IMMEDIATELY got another ad. Honestly, I advise you don’t get this game due to it overall only have one good quality that isn’t even redeeming or that good. Oh, also, devs I’d like to just kindly give you a 🖕😃

The game itself is fun. The thing is, my first minutes of playing, the transaction pop-up to buy the “no ads” feature was randomly popping up. After about 10 mins of play, it stopped happening, so it very well could have been my thumb slipping, though I couldn’t tell. Also, there is SO much lag. Lag has lost me multiple games and even when it’s not game ending it’s still annoying. Another thing is the ads themselves. There’s an ad every other time you die, and when you die, they ask you to watch an ad to continue your game.(this seemed to happen every time you died, but became less frequent over my 3 days of play.) Throughout today, (my third day having Paperio ) this feature stopped working. I would press the check mark to watch the ad and continue my game, but then, after the ad was complete, it said game over and my game (I was in first, by the way) ended. Honestly, that was the last straw for me. Maybe I’m over reacting, but all the little things added up for me and ruined the game. Get the game if you’re fine with lag, unreliable features, and ads (or have money to buy no ads, I believe it’s $2.99 US Dollars)

I got this game a while ago, but then got rid of it because of the BS with spawns and the controls. I get it again, and it hasn't changed. At all. The bots spawn ridiculously close. Whenever I get a kill, two new bots take up its place. I don't mind fast-paced games, but this is beyond annoying. One time, I had over 50% and was about to make a gigantic gain when a bot literally spawned *inside*, before I could close it off, and killed me. Speaking of which, the bots are outrageously nimble and speedy, plus their control is significantly finer than the players'. They make maneuvers faster than the game lets us and the lag makes it worse. The controls are slow in comparison. At most, I can kill a bot by crossing its path in a simple, straight line—while the bots are allowed to do zig-zags without the game itself slowing them down. And, I get ads, even when I don't want an extra life. Why is there a "no" option, if I'm going to get ads anyway? This game would be so fun without all this. I like it more than any other .io game, for its simplicity and fast-paced action. But among the bots spawning in BS locations, slow controls, and the unnecessary 20-30 second ads, I'd prefer something else.

I'm giving this three stars instead of one because it truly is a fun game. It's addicting and—like I said—simple, plus fast-paced. Servers would be nice, but I don't mind as long as the bots perform better. Please fix this for the next update.

Can't express how quickly I became addicted to this game. However my initial love was built on my understanding that there were real players I was competing against, but after learning they were simply bots I was mildly disappointed. Still finding the game fun enough to play while I was bored, I eventually learned the bot habits of greed and gained an understanding how to exploit the bots with simple trickery which is why I'm giving it 3 stars.

Overall this is a VERY fun game and my review comes from months of playing it. The recent additions of challenges were refreshing, but overall simplistic if you already played the game enough. My biggest wish is that there are different playing modes in addition to challenges. Adding multiplayer would be HUGE and I would also love to see easy, medium, hard, and impossible levels of difficulty. This can include different speeds that are experienced in the challenges, OR bigger/smaller maps. Admittedly I've played this game so much I invented my own personal challenges like beating the game without killing a single bot, but wish I had visibility to see what challenges (if any) I had yet to accomplish.

Making this game harder would reinvigorate my interest in this game, but until then I'm getting kinda bored. If you hadn't played this game before and you like simple puzzles, I highly encourage you to try this game!

by Babycookies

This game is very addictive but, there are a lot of things that I would like to be fixed to make this game even better. First off, the glitches. I get every game has glitches sometimes, this game has way to many for my liking. Here are four glitches I will talk about. When your game or server is just fine the game pauses while it paused your moving but you can't control your character but when it unpauses either something pops up or you just automatically die. Secondly, why is there ads popping up in the middle of a game causing you to die? 🤷‍♀️ I know I don't know. We need answers. Third, when you are on your surface, no one's supposed to be able to kill you right? Oh! But guess what's happening. Exactly. And finally about all of the glitches, why when I watch an add to keep going I either automatically die or still start over but in the same server. Done talking about glitches and lets have our last SHORT talk about the stupid amount of ads there are. Every time I die I get a thirty second ad that I always get on other games that I don't ever want to download have already downloaded. Anyway, I hope all of these things get fixed so that this game can as I said be even better.

Thank you for your time

by Rylandtocabocalover

I’ve had this game for quite some time now and it’s so addictive! Here’s my two complaints: TOO MANY ADS! And I think everyone agrees with me! Second, running into ur own tail! When ever it says free life for watching an ad, I almost always click no, because the ad is always a mini game on final fantasy!!!!! But MOST of the time, i click no, AND AN AD SHOW UP!!!!😡😡🤬🤬😡😡🤬 This makes me very upset! If ads were not as frequent or no ads at all, I would have put five ⭐️. Three stars because the ads are a tremendous problem! And please fix the final fantasy thing always coming up when I want an extra life! Also, I know u guys need money, but PUH LEEZE! Three dollars for all the ads!?!? I mean, it’s kinda understandable for all the ads in the game, but there should be NO ADS at ALL! And when someone covers ur area completely u die. I want an extra life, ad, try to make area from scratch, hit own tail, die!?!?😾 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 this is also upsetting! Sorry for the long review, but it’s ALL true. Other than the ads and hitting ur own tail, the game is really fun and addicting! I would love it if you took the ads out! Thx bye!

With every good thing something always goes wrong, you play you probably win a few games and so on. But I wanted to come back to this game because I got an ad so I was playing it and I got addicted. But not even 20 minutes in I already found the first tweak. When I unlock skins it doesn’t give me them. I’m constantly going back and forth and having to delete Paperio and then reinstall because it doesn’t give me the skin. I don’t even want to talk about the ads because they pop up as soon as you die even if you don’t watch the video to continue. I wouldn’t say you should spend money on this game because it’s one of those games you delete after a week or so. I get that they are bots which is why it’s a lot easier to win. But the ads and tweaks I don’t like. I recommend games like piano tiles, flappy dunk, twisty road, sushi roll 3D, amaze, high heels or tomb of the mask for casual games that are like this one. If you took the time to read my review, I appreciate you. And if you’re a developer please tell me why it doesn’t give me my skins.

by JazDrawrr

I enjoy this game a lot however when I first began playing it there were no challenges and you could pay stars or something to unlock different characters I like the new ideas however I feel they still need some tweaking for starters 1) I feel like there should be a customizable character feature where we have to play to still unlock different skins but instead of having a blue shark with a red line and box we could do a pink shark with a purple line i dont know just an example or I would like to be the black bat with a rainbow line and a grey box... I feel like adding a feature like this would spike some more interest in the game 2) I think there should be different maps we can play I liked the challenges maps we could go fast or slow and there was even maps with odd obstacles within them I think it would be cool to open Paperio and the game ask do you want to play online with other people or against bots do you want to go fast normal or slow and do you want an easy small map normal map hard large map or an extreme difficult obstacle map 3) the last fester I think that should be added is a chat and a pause button a chat could be used to make friends and give some players a better experience or give some a more challenging experience it would also be fun to get to talk to other people while playing the game. If those feature were added this game would be five starts for sure!!!

This game is really fun, but there are two things. First, when you die you get an option to watch a video to keep playing or restart. Whenever I choose to keep playing be watching a video, the video goes on fine but when it is over, I am automatically dead. Second, it is really annoying when I am playing in the game and there is an ad covering half of my screen. I understand that there are going to be ads unless I pay to get rid of them, but is it really necessary for it to be there when I am in the middle of a game? Overall, this game is really fun and addicting. Here is a suggestion: maybe you can get a certain amount of ‘points’ based on how long you live for or how much area you cover, and then you can unlock some sort of speed boost or invisibility thing where you can go into somebody else’s area and steal space without them seeing you. Other than that, this game is definitely a favorite and I am totally going to recommend it to my friends.

I was on a play date with my friend looking through Paperio Store seeing what games we could get we saw Paper . Io Paper .Io 2 & 3D Paper .Io We decided to choose paper . IO 1 because we haven’t even saw the map so we went to the rewiews first and saw good rewiews and bad but mostly good so we decided to play the map looked so cool but before we could explore everything the play date was over . So at my house I started playing the game because I wanted to wait until I was at home to play and then my friend texted me saying this game is so amazing and addicting but that’s not the case what I’m about to say I was playing and Everytime I died it said “ Would you like to continue? .” With a Pixel Heart . OF COURSE I SAID YES ! I was in the lead ! But you won’t believe what happened . It made me leave the game ! This made me even more mad then before because I just wasted my time on a ad when I could’ve be playing the game ! This time I was actual playing and I died I diecided not to take the heart and it gave me an ad anyway I thought this was a glitch but this happened all the time . And on top of that it wouldn’t let me take right turns and cross myself I rate this 4 Stars because this game is still very addicting just please take away the ads it’s gonna make no one play also why is this game rated for 12 & plus there’s not even Tabasco in this game

First of all, let me just say that I love this game. It’s kept me entertained for hours on end, and the challenges are really enjoyable. But, like any great and entertaining game, there are some issues that need to be fixed. For example, make an option to play online with other people or to play on the same server as a friend. Since many people have siblings that also play the game, this could be helpful. Secondly, make the interface for finding the skin you want snappier and easier to navigate. Like, for example, to have the option to search the name of the skin that you want, like for instance, dollars or a bumblebee. That could modernize the game more. Lastly, make the spacing of computer spawned players more spaced out for a more enjoyable experience. If all of these enhancements were added, I would have rated this game five stars. But four is good too!

P. S. I really like the challenge section in this game. Good challenges make a Voodoo game recommendable and recognizable, in my opinion ;)

I saw this game advertised while playing Toon Blast and decided to check it out. I am glad I did. This game is sooo addicting! I have some suggestions if I may. Would it be possible to play against friends? I have already turned my friend on to this game but sometimes we wish we could play each other and not just random people. Also, can there be more challenges added like maybe adding different crowns when you are deemed the king and the ability to chose my basic square color. The cow is my favorite but sometimes I like to be the original square and it would be nice if You could pick your own color for it. The other downside is the game seems to glitch and blanks out my whole area. It’s like I can be at 35% and then my whole area goes blank. I don’t die but it makes me start all over again taking over new territory. And last but not least, can you please add sounds...i don’t know what kind but the silence gets old. Thank you so much for creating this game and making it fun to play.

Okay, so, this game is super great. I loved the idea. But, there are a few problems. Here is a list:
1. The game has glitches. Sometimes in the middle of the game I am unable to control my avatar and it just keeps on going in the same direction or the game just “pauses” or stops functioning.
2. I recently learned that the “players” aren’t real people, and that is a bit upsetting. It’s would be a lot more fun if there are real people who have their own strategy and are playing in their own smart way. There is this different feeling you get when you beat a real person rather than when you beat a bot. Please let us all know if it is true that the “players” are bots or not in your next update’s notes.

So, of course, it would be great if you made fixing the glitches a priority, even though they probably already are, and if you could please have us play against real people, that would be awesome! Otherwise, this is a pretty good game. Also, I would like to thank you guys for fixing some major glitching and for removing the box ads.

by Joaquina Guevara

I love this game and have been playing it for years now but there are some glitches that I’ve only noticed in the last update. The avatar unlock achievement banners pop up all the time for avatars I’ve already unlocked, and sometimes without me even doing the thing that unlocks it (for example, the avatar unlock for no kills will pop up after I’ve already killed several people in a game). Some avatars that I had unlocked in the last update are no longer unlocked and the counters don’t work when I try to unlock them again. I’ve redone the cop car crashes for the donut avatar many times but the counter never increased to show that I’m working on it. The only avatars I haven’t unlocked other than the donut are the ones for collecting a certain number of avatars, which I’ve clearly done since all the other ones are unlocked but even trying to redo old avatar challenges doesn’t make the counters increase for those. It’s not a big deal and the game is still fun but it’s just a little frustrating.

This game is honestly addictive. If you’re looking for a game to help you procrastinate, this is the one. It’s very competitive and simple. Although the game is so much fun, it has many flaws.
1) Although I don’t mind ads (even if they’re very continuous and annoying) I have gotten used to them. Even though I don’t like them, they have taken over the game (literally). During some of the games, I get a ad in the middle of my screen and die. It gets very agitating when that happens and PLEASE FIX THIS.
2. The game was by far better a while ago. They have added challenges and have made it harder to get different ‘characters’. The challenges are OK. But you used to be able to buy characters with “coins” but now you have to complete difficult challenges. I have played 500 games and after I finished 500 games I was supposed to receive a new character. But I didn’t. That has happened multiple times. PLEASE FIX THIS! Please bring back the “coins” so those who play a lot and are good can buy the characters without having to complete ridiculous challenges.
That’s all the complaints I have. There’s more pros then there is cons, but those cons are, in my opinion, major and ABSOLUTELY NEED to be fixed!!!

I love this game. I saw my friend playing it and I thought I would try it. I love it!! It is fun and getting new skins is always great. I wish they would have more variety in them. I also think that maybe hiding the ones you didn’t get would make it more fun when you actually get it. Another thing is the adds. I am fine with adds normally, but this game makes me not want it play it. I am fine with watching an add to live for more time but even when you don’t press it, it gives you an add. It is very annoying and I wish it would stop! Another thing I would enjoy is challenges and points. This would make the game have a reason to keep on playing. You could maybe use these points for an extra life or to get a skin. This would be a lot of fun but the points won’t stop you from playing or be the main thing in the game. Some games don’t do this correctly and the games become less fun as you need more points. If they do this in the way I described, people who don’t like points can not mess with them while people who do can use it. Those are a few of my thoughts on the game and I hope you use these to make your game better ( in my opinion ).

* you and they is talking about Paperio creationists *
