Paper Mines is a casual game. There is no story, just buckle up and go. GAMEPLAY You’re steering a mine cart down alpine slopes and through dark mines. Steering the mine cart is simple. You can brake, duck your head and hang on to ropes. The game uses a random generator to create a new world for every ride. Each ride is unique and you have to react fast because you never know what’s coming next. The game is difficult! There are no checkpoints.
