In Splix you control a colored line and own a piece of territory. This area can be expanded by drawing shapes with the line and connecting them back to your existing territory. While doing this, you will be surrounded by opponents attempting to do the same thing. You can attack or be attacked in this game by crashing into the line being drawn or their claimed area. Avoid forming any closed loops. You want to draw a line that includes your initial territory. Use swiping motions to move around.Playing Tips: You want to slowly expand your area in small segments as its safer and more effective. Bare in mind that you cannot make a shape extremely big, since there is a limit that when reached will kill you. Add things in smaller increments. Eventually you want to take over a massive amount of land, or even half the map if you are feeling ambitious. This means taking over some of the locations your enemies are settling down. Once their line is destroyed, all of their area will vanish with them, so use this to your advantage.
