Play Turf War online
Turf War is a territory-capture arena: you (blue) face three local AI bots, all racing to paint the 64x64 arena in their own color.
Venture out of your turf to lay a trail, then loop back home — your trail and everything inside it becomes your territory.
Your trail is deadly: touch it and you are done, but cut across an enemy's trail and they are the ones who fall.
First to 35% of the arena wins instantly, or hold the biggest turf when the 120-second clock runs out.
How to control Turf War

Tips for a better run
Short loops are safe loops: grab small chunks early, then go bigger once the bots thin out.
Never cross your own trail — plan the return path before you leave home.
Enemy trails are fragile: if you see a rival's glowing trail, cutting through it kills them instantly.
Bots get braver over time. Punish long enemy trails by striking through them.
Watch the arena edges: there is no wall bounce, stepping out is fatal.

Move out of your colored turf to start a trail, then loop back into your turf. Your trail plus everything it encloses becomes yours.
