PaperAnimals.io is a colorful game where adorable paper creatures battle against each other for gaining the biggest chunk of the map. Despite being quite easy to control, every game requires careful planning and fast reflexes. Grow your area, destroy your opponents, and unlock new animal warriors with unique skills. Every fight gives you a chance to climb up the leaderboard and dominate your opponents.

The ultimate aim is to encircle open areas and annex them to your own piece of land. With growth in your land comes growth in the probability that you dominate the battlefield. However, venturing outside your safety zone makes you vulnerable to attacks from rival players.
It is important not to collide with your own path and not crash into the border of the map, since both these mistakes will end your race. Observe the behavior of enemies and make an attack at the moment when they become vulnerable.
