The main goal of the game is to destroy flying trash balls and survive endless waves of crumpled paper attacks. The player controls a fast paper plane that can rotate left and right, shoot forward, and boost through the air. Once the plane starts moving in one direction, it continues drifting through the arena until the player changes direction with another boost. Precision movement and quick reactions are essential to avoid incoming trash balls and clear the skies.
