Use your finger to steer the paper tear. Tear down to the end of the sheet to complete the level! Dodge holes of different shapes and sizes in the paper. Your paper strip gradually widens as you tear down, but tearing through holes will reduce the width of your tear and make it harder to continue. Advance through the levels to experience new paper colors and hole types!
