## What is Paper Wars?

Two stick-figure armies. One sheet of notebook paper. Zero art training.

Paper Wars is the pencil war you used to play in the back of class, now with sound effects, a drill sergeant and soldiers with very nervous stomachs. Hide your army, fire blind at the enemy's page, and scribble them out before they get you.

HOW A WAR GOES
• Hide five soldiers and a fort anywhere on your half of the page
• Rock, Paper, Scissors decides who shoots first (then HQ changes its mind)
• Touch where you think they are and let go to fire. You never see their page
• Every shot bleeds ink, so even a miss can spot enemies nearby
• Duck behind boulders and mountains: ink can't get through
• A couple of times a game, drag from a soldier and let go for a machine-gun burst across the page

THE SOLDIERS HAVE OPINIONS
• Every soldier has a name, a weapon and something to say
• Hits get last words. Near misses get... accidents
• Buddies yell for a medic when a soldier goes down
• A drill sergeant who has no patience for slow recruits

PLAY HOW YOU LIKE
• Take on the computer: Recruit or Sergeant
• Play a friend on one phone, passing it between turns
• On iPhone Duo, stand it up like a tent and each player sees only their own half. No peeking
• Battlefields with boulders, open fields and surprise maps
• Turn timer, fort and other options under More orders

MEDALS, RANKS AND REPLAYS
• A medal ceremony for the standout moments (and the embarrassing ones)
• Climb from Private to General of the Army with service points
• Earn skill badges like Marksman, Machine Gunner and Combat Medic
• Watch the replay of every battle, and save it as a video in seconds
• Your service record follows you on iCloud

FULL ARSENAL (one in-app purchase)
• The General, the toughest computer opponent
• Mountains, River and Lake battlefields. Soldiers can wade into rivers
• Reinforcements by paper plane, and the Fort must fall rule
• 5 more soldier voices
• Every pen colour plus the colour wheel
• The Full Arsenal medal and the One-Man Army badge
One purchase, yours to keep. Works with Family Sharing.

COMING SOON
• Multiplayer on two phones: each player on their own device, no passing the phone
• New supplies and game upgrades

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just pencils.

Made by Tiny Bird, Big Dreams, a one-person studio building in public with Claude.
