The game is fun and definitely addictive. However, the glitches are the most frustrating thing ever. I spent the $2.99 on this game to get rid of the ads and guess what? There are still ads when you want to continue the game. SO THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY! The glitches are so bad and make me want to throw my phone against a wall. After you’ve covered a good portion of the area, it will turn completely white for no reason leaving you stranded as you cannot get back to your pattern. Sometimes, it goes white and you die as if an invisible player just killed you. If you’re especially lucky, you’ll see a light show as the colors begin to glitch and your whole section comes back and disappears like flashing lights at a club. And then... you guessed it, you’ll randomly die. The percentage gets stuck at a number and no matter how much you’ve covered it’ll still say 0.51% even though your area is larger than the 0.66% circle you start with. This game could really become more popular and be the next “words with friends” or “angry birds” and could make a lot of money BUT it seems “they” would rather make chump change off of a subpar app with a great idea. The game is so fun and the idea is so addicting but the bugs and glitches and ads even after you pay, are enough to delete Paperio2 and tell everyone I know not to even bother. FIX THE BUGS! I guarantee that more people will play. FIX THE GLITCHES! FIX THE GLITCHES! FIX THE GLITCHES!

Free to play = advertisement and totally fine and understandable. However, never have I ever, until this game, experienced where I am getting 3 separate ad videos within a literal span of less than 15 seconds. This is of particular emphasis if you’re at least mildly good at the game e.g. multi kill (advertisement), king kill (advertisement), whatever time algorithm the game has (advertisement), random power ups in the game (optional advertisement, but does stop the game and further adds to the slowing of gameplay).

To make matters worse, this game has been out for some time and is still crazy glitchy, like your entire characters area disappearing glitchy forcing you to start all over on you % or instadeath until you may catch a break after reviving yourself (also advertisement). The only saving grace is the gameplay itself is fun (when it works) and the customization for your character with built in challenges provides replay ability.

This is still no excuse for a studio with so many copy/paste clones of itself to be this glitchy or have the game riddled with advertisement as it currently exists (a guaranteed advertisement every 45 seconds, or other reasonable time, would significantly improve gameplay pacing versus the current model; 3 advertisements in 15 seconds improves the bottom line more quickly I’m sure, but not if your player base continues to delete the game and move on because they grow tired of it).

Ok so I was playing and I was so close to getting a new skin and then it just randomly went to an add and froze so I didn’t get a new skin and I was so mad because it had taken me so long to get that close. I also got my high score but it went to another add froze and it showed that my high score was only %10 and it was around %47. While I’m talking about adds there also an add every five seconds and it’s so annoying I wouldn’t mind an add every maybe three to five rounds but like every ten seconds multiple times a round is to much and I get they have to make money somehow but if they spread the adds out I would play much more. Paperio2 sometimes forgets things too because I played three days in a row to get the “play three consecutive days” skin but it said I had only played two. That being said I do like all of the skins you can collect but sometimes the skin interferes with the drawing. And lastly some of the things you have to do to get the skins I didn’t understand so I wanted to clarify for other people, the “play three consecutive days” or “play seven consecutive days” skin just means you have to play three or seven days in a row. The “revive ten times” skin just means when they give you a choice to watch an add when you die, if you watch the add ten times (it doesn’t have to be in a row ) you will get the skin. Thank you for reading this and I hope it helps you ;)

So when I first downloaded this I was really excited about this game I thought it would be fun easy not too many adds but I was wrong so I went into Paperio2 and I play it but when I died I was given an add and when I died again it was really frustrating when there was another add! I do not recommend this to be played if you don’t have frustrating problems cause this will frustrate you more if you have that problem. However I do recommend this if you don’t care if you get an add over and over again. But if your frustrated and you need something to kill so you can be happy. Also if your frustrated and you really don’t care about having adds you’ll be good for this game. I rated this 3 and these are my reasons: 1. Very hard 2. Very frustrating and final one: 3. it’s very hard to get skins. So I also want you to have a good day so you don’t get frustrated like me I am very impatient and also really frustrated right now because of adds. One day I hope adds never existed or have been before anyone has been born. If your child in the future is patient the congratulations you have had a very good child but I am not I very ugly:( I wish my name was just like my family. But anyways I hope y’all have a great day. Except for me:)

First of all this game IS WAY WORSE THAN THE WEBSITE VERSION. First the manner the map is shaped makes me dizzy, Idk how to access the modes, there are CONSTANT ADS and this game is full of chunk swallowing bots so please fix all of this but in MY OPINION its better to play the website/crazy games version. Also i know about the ads but please try to reduce the amount. Also this game can be annoying at times cause the ads are CONSTANT *MAKE SURE YOU TAKE NOTICE OF THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY* *****I FEEL LIKE the ads come up every five seconds and its very annoying***** so make sure you take notice of that and for y'all gamers here is a note for you *please listen* ***so if you are willing to play get the game first unless you are like me which ill explain to you later so if you wanna try, download the game! Now for the people like me or the people who dont like the game performance I recommend as i said playing on the crazy games/website version of the game (which you can access the modes like world conflict (my fave)) cause it has better game performance but the ads are still annoying so i hope you consider this helpful and take this advice to change the game and improve the performance so thank you for taking your time so bye

This game is addicting and I love it - I've played it since the beginning when there wasn't any skins (now there are some) - but I'm very disappointed that there's still bugs in which my territory glitches and then I have nothing. Even if I try to run back to where my large territory is supposed to be, there's nothing there for me to connect back to, so I promptly die. Even when I had an extra life still and watched the video in the hopes of saving myself, it just started me completely over since there wasn't anything for me to start on. I would be more understanding if it was a really high percentage that crashed it a bit, but this time I was only about 36% before it glitched and got rid of my territory. There's also many times where the game lags severely (and you have difficulty turning etc. while it does so) and there's still times where the game completely crashes and boots me out of Paperio2 and I can't get any of my progress back. I'm really disappointed, but like I said, I still love to play this game as it's a fabulous, addicting time-waster. I hope the devs read the community's reviews and fix the bugs. That's the main reason why I give this a 3/5 is because while the bugs make it unenjoyable when you lose your progress, I still enjoy and will continue to play the game, as I'm hopeful that the devs will fix these problems soon and it doesn't glitch every game.

The game is fun I will not lie but you don’t even update it. I have played some of you games before and I did like them a bit but a main problem is you don’t really update them and just make a new game with a bunch of ads. I see you that you need the money but is it really necessary to fill all your games with ads most of us just want to have fun and play I would not mind 1 ad every 10 to 15 rounds but it just gets annoying. Also I really don’t like this game for only really 1 reason it is bots they are so annoying I can’t stay out of my area for 1 second without getting killed by bots! I was out my area for like 2 seconds once and I died I see it as almost impossible to fill up the map because the bots will just find a way to kill you somehow. And you probably aren’t even reading this because I feel like you don’t respond to reviews or reflect on them since I notice that people make reviews also but you don’t seem to make updates or try fixing your mistakes I would like it if you looked at what we say and try making your games better! And also I see a lot of companies doing what you are doing. Filling games with ads make it useless to play when you complete it and move on after to make a new game with the same thing. And yes I do think this game is fun but really stop making your games have garbage features and not even trying to make them better. I rarely see games that don’t do these things!

by Kneemoi

I really enjoy this game, I’ve spent hours playing and I still enjoy it. I like the skin situation they added, I just wish it kept up with your progress towards reaching new goals so you can have a mission in mind while playing. As others mentioned there are bugs that cause your area to randomly disappear, and when you pay for “no ads” you still have to watch ads for the extra life.

My biggest complaint that I recently discovered is that you’re not playing with other real players. The other players are clearly robots because they NEVER utilize the extra life, when you kill someone they stay dead. If these were real people they would be using the extra life too. Another thing is that the robots never get past like 10%. I regularly reach 40%+ and I’ve never seen another player do so. Plus there’s been times where I lay my phone down while watching the ad I paid not to see and when I get back in the game none of my territory has been taken.

So to make the game better: allow us to play with real players, remove the ads we paid to have removed, fix the disappearing land bug, and keep up with goal progress.

This game is great! I love how smooth it is compared to the first one and how much easier it is to turn and move! The only things I don’t love is how laggy/glitchy it is and how many ads there are. I don’t know if it’s just my WiFi or if I just have to reload but I’ve restarted my device multiple times and it will still lag. My device will be on full WiFi and will still lag. This causes my character to move a wrong way and die, so please take into consideration to fix that! Also I understand that it’s a free game so it comes with ads but there doesn’t need to be one after every single match! I do understand that this game needs money so it is trying to get the players to purchase ad removal and all but it doesn’t need an ad after every match. Perhaps there could be an ad every two matches instead? Please also take that into consideration. As I said before I do love this game and those are really my only problems. I love all of the different skins and ways to unlock them too! Love the smoothness and different shapes I can make but please do consider the suggestions I have listed!
Thank you for your
consideration and time!

Personally, I find this game very fun. When I first got it, I'd spend hours moving my box around the map, trying to fill up space. This game is a great time killer and is very satisfying to play. But like any free game, there's on major issue. ADS. I'm used to ads on free mobile games, because that's how the companies make money. I'm usually patient when it comes to ads, but not with this game. Each time you finish a level, there's an ad, which I'm fine with because they're skipable after a few seconds. However, after I eliminate 2-3 players in a row, I get a timer and an ad shows up. This is very disruptive to gameplay, but it gives me a reward I didn't ask for (which I'm not complaining about.) Something good with the ads is that you can watch one and get a powerup (speed, protection, or eagle eyes). It lasts only a short time but is somewhat helpful.
Another thing with the ads is that they are very repetitive. I get ads for only 3-4 different games, and I get bored and frustrated having to watch the same thing over and over again. The ads are really my only complaint about this game. The skins are nice, gameplay is smooth and entertaining, and it's a great time killer.

The glitches! The bugs! Seriously, fix them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been about 75% and then drop right down to 0% but my cube has not been eliminated. You are still alive but you have no territory to connect to so you are guaranteed to die anyways. There’s no explanation or sign or hint as to how or why this happens. I can see maybe just maybe it being caused by another glitch, where you and your opponent have overlapping territory but the game gives it to both of you rather than just one (if you play this long enough you will eventually encounter this, even at smaller %s), and the game somehow gets confused from there and doesn’t know which player is which. Pisses me off, because I know I could get to 100 were it not for this. It happens almost every single time I break 60%. It would probably happen at lower %s as well were I not so quick to erase other players’ gains at my expense. To be killed by another player just makes me want to come back and get my revenge, all in good fun. It keeps me in the game. But to be killed by a glitch, with little indication as to how or why makes me want to throw my device through a window. Please fix this or at least tell me why it is happening!

*Please Read*
*There are so many ads on this game that I can’t click touch to continue, If you completely got rid of ads this game just might be way better. **Another thing eliminating yourself! You shouldn’t be able to eliminate yourself because you can turn to slow or the wrong way and end up eliminated, Also you shouldn’t be able to die from someone cutting your line. Instead when your line is cut you should be able to get back to your safe zone. This game also should have a feature that alerts you from where you territory is being taken. ***Game modes! My opinion on game modes is I LOVE THEM, and if the game could have some that would be great! Some suggestions 1vs1, Teams (5vs5, 2vs2vs2vs2vs2), Race (Who can get to 10% first)! I’m not entirely sure how many people there are per game, but i think it should be 10 if it is not. ****Feedback on skins! The skin variations are good, but should still have more easier and harder skins to get, and get EXTREMELY creative with the skins. No one once simplistic animals and objects, Maybe do something like a castle or Zeus!
*****I hope you take all these ideas and include a big portion of them in the game, and use other people’s ideas!

It’s an amazing game. I played every second of my life it’s like the best thing in the whole entire world. Well I should say my kid likes it but I like it like that, because even if he’s addicted to it is the best kid in the world and I’m happy he has like a game like that just get his worries away. I mean oh andWhenever I’m working he just sits there like the sweetest little kid in the world playing his cute little game so I think if you have a child or you were just curious to looking at this game are you think this is a very very very good game.💟 And I would totally agree do you like your plate even though you say that I’m just seeing it twice because it’s it’s a really good game and I don’t have anything else to sing about that but he says it can be a little hard sometimes it gets better competitors but he said to me a couple days ago that he’s going to make he’s going to give himself a goal. And it was the biggest person in the game and I thought so I really really think this game is a good game for your son or daughter or if you’re just looking around for fun games to play but my daughter says that it’s too easy and like you know what that’s not right because your brother likes it in your 18 you have a lot more experience but my son is sick and he loves it so much 💖💖💖

I really enjoy this game and the addictive qualities it has, but I do have some issues with the game that makes me extremely angry when it happens to me. First off, there’s disappearing land. Basically, you’ll be given land and as you’re increasing it, it will randomly just up and disappear. There’s been a few times where I was lucky and still had some sort of land left, so I didn’t have to die. But there has also been a time where all of my land disappeared and dying was inevitable. Something that also happens is that I will be playing and taking up new land that just so happens to cover over someone else’s, and it glitches. I will have that land, but it’s like my color doesn’t completely cover it until I take up more new land, if that makes sense. Another issue I have is that I just tried to play the game and right when I was put into the game, I was instantly killed. I don’t understand how it happened by any means. There’s also moments where I hit other players lines and they just don’t die like they’re supposed to. I’m also not too fond of all of the darn ads. This game isn’t worth $2.99 to get rid of them either. Other than all of these small, yet highly frustrating problems, this game is pretty fun and it helps pass the time when need be.

I love the original. I play it all the time, I also like the this one for the fact that it’s not square, you can go in circles. So I love it. The way to get skins is kinda weird to me but I still like it. My biggest 2 issues is I think a glitch and THE ADS! I get that ads have to be run but it’s like every 15 seconds for me or after I kill more then 2 people. I had a good running streak and one game and it felt like an ad every time I killed someone or every 10-15 seconds. They are CONSTANT. There’s a difference between putting ads into the game naturally and putting in that many ads. My other thing is whenever I would have to watch one of those ads or come back to life the game was still going so people are taking my area, ok. But it seemed very much like a glitch where they would have a chunk of my area but I couldn’t take it back. I would go over and over it again and again and it would just sit there all glitchy and not let me take it till I killed them. Then it was automatically mine again. I also couldn’t touch the people while they were in my land, they had to be in the open space for me to kill them. Other then I love the game. Always have loved the first one and glad there’s been a sequel made with new ideas, it just needs fixes.

I absolutely love this game! But there are a few things that you need and have got to fix. First, you need to fix the glitch where you lose land. I was doing perfectly fine until that stupid glitch occurred and made me lose almost half of my land, I think that you should start looking into that since it’s happening everywhere. The second item I think you need to fix are the adds. I get that you need those to make money but there are WAY too many adds on this game. You have them right after someone dies, when they want to revive, and a few times I have gotten them when opening the game!! This to me is a huge problem because sometimes I lose right away then have to watch an add then the entire thing happens again!! Maybe after every 3 losses? That would be perfectly fine with me since there are way too many adds at the moment. The third thing I want you to fix is the Consecutive day counting. Because I’ve been playing this game for about 2 weeks yet I just got the burger and that entire time there was no progress showing. You should probably fix this soon. I think you should add more skins too, maybe depending on the time of year and someone has to finish the goal before that time is over to receive the skin? This game is awesome but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fix the other stuff too.

This has become my favorite time killer, and I’ve downloaded it across almost all of my devices. I’ve even paid for the No Ad upgrade, which I rarely ever do. Since Voodoo is one of the worst with the unskippable 30-40second ads, it’s absolutely worth a few dollars to get rid of them. This game is simple, and addictive, and can be a fast play, or extended out if you are slow and methodical in your acquisition of territory.

Recent updates have eliminated most of the bugginess of earlier versions. One odd thing is that the iPad and iPhone versions are slightly different. On the iPhone, you size up after a kill, but on the iPad, you do not. I wish they both played the same way.

One Full rating star drop: Also, like all other VooDoo games, they do not rotate when changing orientation. For me, a game that will not rotate orientation (especially on the iPad) is an absolutely rating killer. And there are times when I will avoid playing a game I otherwise want to play, because it won’t rotate. For a phone, fine, whatever. For a tablet, it’s a total UI and usability miss. Come on, Voodoo, get it together. You make some of the best simple time killer games out there (even if they are all suspiciously similar), adding the rotate feature is a simple easy feature that makes your games far more widely playable.

I absolutely love this game. It is so addictive and I play it all the time. My sister does not have it and she claims it is so easy! I actually think it is challenging and I think the concept is awesome. I like to think of it like I am building my own world! I think that it is a little bit slow sometimes. I also think there should not have nicknames because I have seen some that are inappropriate. I think The nicknames are fun but maybe you should try to put some kind of filter on anything inappropriate that people try to type. I’ve never made a video game so I don’t know if that’s possible but I think it would improve the game and make it a lot want to family or maybe even just have an option to turn off nicknames and settings. I also think that if you can if you add some new skins I need the current ones a little bit less difficult to get like take 100% of the map come on! And for the unicorn really everybody loves unicorns! Heck there’s unicorns on my leggings right now! I love Paperio2 So much just fixed the nickname thing that would be great! Thank you so much for creating such a fun and challenging game it fills in time when I have nothing to do. I love this game so much! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼♥️♥️♥️

I’d say that this game is well worth the time. It offers satisfactory smooth gameplay, one of those games that make you say “one more match” and you keep going. Sometimes, dying is frustrating, but the mild addiction (or higher, depends on the person obviously) is enough to make you shrug it off and enjoy yourself with more matches. Stacking up kills, increasing your customized territory based on the skin you use, more than one match with likely satisfying results, and overall, fun. Very fun indeed.

Now—let’s talk about the ads. I understand that most people chose 4-stars or lower because of ads, and more reasons too, but the majority spoke of ads among those other things. This is one of those games where even if you turn off wifi, it still works and you can still play it. You know what that means? If you complain about ads with sincere concern, not just a little, I’d suggest shutting off the wifi connection on your device temporarily. However, I feel as though that’s cheating, lol, this is such a good game despite the adds, so the devs kinda deserve the money, you know? It’s your choice. Yourself or the devs. My opinion is irrelevant, so it won’t be spoken of.

That is all, have a good day/night

by Banana8766

This game seems so fun, and when you first start playing, they give you all these skin options and you can work your way up to get more and more. But the main goal of the game is to cover the entire circle and kill everybody else. The thing is, the game doesn’t WANT you to be able to do that. One day I was playing, and I had over 60 percent of the circle covered. I was feeling really great, like I could finally ACTUALLY win, but of course, the game cheated and glitched me. It glitched so bad that, when I was in the middle of my area, the safe zone, I DIED. And it wouldn’t let me watch an add to respawn. No one was around, I was in my safe zone, the only possible way was that it was a really annoying glitch. And to be honest, things like that happen to me ALOT. The game might seem fun at the start, but it gets really frustrating and makes me angry, just because of a game! Not to mention all the adds, once you get rolling and start doing good in a round, there are just more and more adds, almost EVERY 30 SECONDS. I just don’t think it is worth downloading, and it will just take up and waste all of your time on something that will make you angry, AND you aren’t gonna get anything ACTUALLY meaningful in the end. Thanks for Listening 🙏 😊

My territory disappears even though there is no one is around to claim it. The Controls hey jumpy. At some points in the game it is smooth and nice to play. But other times I can play at all because it freezes so bad that it won’t start up again or the glitches make it so it doesn’t respond to where I want the thing to go to. It almost always ends with me bing killed. (Ex: if I pull it to the right and try to make it go to home base it will sometimes glitch out not go right and get hit by a on coming color.). Not cool.
Other then that I would love to be able to play the game because it is fun. Fix the issues and I can give a better review. Also some colors tend to be faster then other already.
So maybe you can add that as a bonus reward. So like you hav ego hit a certain goal to unlock a skin but maybe as well as having a knee skin give certain skins little bonus rewards like one could be a tiny bit faster. One could be a tiny bit bigger. And such. Also maybe limit how many players can be in a arena. And maybe add a little overview circle so you know where you are in the circle and see how much you have covered also see other players.
But first fix the bugs. Then add the other fun details.

by Nicknamedperson2.0

This game is cool I just would like a few changes. One the skin the “Unlocks” when you have played 3 consecutive days won’t unlock no matter how many days in a row I play which is irritating, and I have played way more than just 3 days in a row. Also I would like more skins along with ones you can purchase because I’m not very good and it is hard to unlock them. I also have another idea, what if you added game modes where you could compete with people that you know or one where you just try to kill as many people as possible and don’t worry about land which I guess you could do normally but still. Or what if you could do battle mode and you and a robot or somebody else and you start off with 50% of the board and the other person starts off with 50% and you and the other person are invincible so you can’t just kill them and take all of the area, and you have 2 minutes or so to get as much land as possible!!! (Personally I think the battle mode sounds the best but that’s just my opinion...)Either way it’s still a cool game and I would recommend it to others.😁
