About Territory.io - Capture the Map

Territory.io brings the addictive territory-capture gameplay of Paper.io to your browser. Start with a small square of land, venture out to draw loops, and claim everything inside. But watch out: while you are outside your territory, your trail is vulnerable. One touch from an opponent and you are eliminated.

How to Play

โ˜… Move
Use WASD or Arrow Keys to control your character.
โ˜… Capture Territory
Leave your safe zone and draw a loop that connects back to your territory. Everything inside the loop becomes yours.
โ˜… Survive
While drawing a trail outside your territory, you are vulnerable. If anyone touches your trail, you die and lose everything.
โ˜… Eliminate Others
Touch the trails of other players while they are outside their territory to eliminate them. Their land becomes up for grabs.

The Risk-Reward Balance

Small loops are safe but gain little territory. Large loops capture huge areas but take longer, leaving your trail exposed. Every expansion is a gamble: go big and risk dying, or play safe and grow slowly while others might overtake you.

Strategies for Domination

โ˜… The Nibbler
Make many small, safe captures. Slow but steady growth with minimal risk.
โ˜… The Gambler
Go for massive loops when opponents are far away. High risk, high reward.
โ˜… The Hunter
Focus on eliminating players rather than capturing territory. Steal their land after they die.
โ˜… The Defender
Stay near your territory and cut off anyone who gets too close. Let them make mistakes.

Power-Ups

Collect power-ups scattered across the map for temporary advantages:

โ˜… Speed Boost
Move faster to make risky captures safer
โ˜… Shield
Temporary protection for your trail
โ˜… Magnet
Attract nearby unclaimed territory

Why Territory Games Are Addictive

The "just one more game" factor is strong. Each match is different based on opponent behavior. That massive capture you almost pulled off? You KNOW you can do it next time. The combination of strategy, reflexes, and risk assessment keeps players coming back.
