I have been playing this game for a long time, it is almost exclusively my idle time-wasting game. It is a ton of fun play, but there is a glitch that will cause your character to die, even when you are completely inside of your own area, no opponents anywhere near you. Also, if you are touching anywhere else on the screen when you do die, it clicks pass the option to watch an ad so that you can keep playing…. It should only accept inputs from the buttons, not the entire screen to skip. Lastly, some of the perimeters don’t “take” when. You fill them in, you have to go in reverse to close the area. Its been months since the last update… hopefully there is one coming soon to fix some things.

I was excited to see upgrades. And a seemingly huge map. But I’ve learned the upgrades you buy for each skin don’t matter. And the map isn’t that big. 100% of the other “players” (bots) are maxed out on speed. And even though I have maxed my speed out I’m still slower then them. So they always stay just a bit faster it seems. Making the fun upgrade dynamic a bit useless. They also made the bots a lot harder to outsmart. Which means they never leave their home until you do. Then they make a b line right for you 100% of the time. Highest I’ve got is 77%. But the higher you get the more bots you have making a direct sprint for your trail. Making it much harder to complete. But that’s okay. Prolongs the game because as far as I can tell the first time I make 100% that’s going to be it for me. No need to upgrade all the skins when it doesn’t actually do anything. So completionist drive for this one for me. And I have no Interest in watching a bunch of adds just to unlock a skin either.

So overall I’d say this one is a 3 star release. Maybe IO 5 will be better.

I have noticed that when you are playing this game you get ads during your gameplay, and everyone and you continue exactly where you leave off. I have also noticed that when you do long strips outside your territory all the enemy’s in a certain vicinity will go after you and chase you until you get into your territory. The second you hit your territory all the enemies turn around at the exact same to to go back to their territory. People wouldn’t do that, so I think that all your enemies are AI which is horribly disappointing. And the fact that you get more territory so easily and whenever you start there isn’t anyone that has more than ten percent of territory. Which doesn’t make sense for just how blank land to be collected. All in all, I’m disappointed that you aren’t playing against other people and that it feels very obvious. I’m uninstalling this game and all my other .io and voodoo games. And feel for using AI the people behind this decision should be ashamed because this game used to be fun. Not any more. Severely disappointed. I wish I could zero stars.
