Deadlock.io is a simple “.io”-style strategy game—where you control a character who moves around the map to expand the colored area by “drawing” lines. The main idea is to capture as much of your color territory as possible while avoiding opponents from breaking your line when you are stretching out of the safe territory.

Deadlock.io gameplay details
You start in your color territory. When you move out of it, you draw a line (a “trace”) behind your character.
When you return to the original color area and “close” the line, the entire area between the line and the original area will be filled with your color—that is, you expand the territory.
While you are out of the color area (drawing a line), you are vulnerable to an opponent before you can return and complete the line. If you are attacked while you are in the area, you die and lose your turn.
The goal is to expand as much territory as possible while limiting the opponent to “cut the line” or retake the area you have painted.
The game usually takes place in a certain time or until a player occupies the highest percentage of territory.
