Color Path IO

Color Path IO is a "Territory-Expansion" game combining "Snake" mechanics with "Splat-Painting." The technical core is "Enclosure-Fill Algorithm." You leave a trail. Connecting your trail back to your main territory fills the enclosed area with your color. The risk is the "Trail Vulnerability"—if an enemy hits your trail before you close the loop, you die.

Control a character leaving a colored trail. Goal: Claim the most map %. Interaction is "Swipe-to-Steer." Leave your base to draw a line. Return to base to capture the land inside the line. You can kill enemies by hitting their unclosed trails. Avoid hitting your own trail or walls. Power-ups increase speed.

Dominating the map depends on "Greedy vs. Safe Ratios." Do not draw huge circles. Stay close to home. Make "Small, Rapid Loops." This minimizes the time your trail is vulnerable. A pro strategy is "Trail-Hunting"—wait at the edge of your territory for an ambitious player to pass by, then dash out to snip their trail. Killing a player removes all their territory, leaving a massive vacuum for you to claim.
