Fall fast. Bank late. Find the line. Paper Drift is a one-thumb arcade game about steering a folded paper plane down an endless shaft. Flying flat falls fastest; banking buys you time and costs you speed. Read the next gap, commit to a line, and keep the plane clean. SEVEN WORLDS, ONE LONG FALL • Endless tours seven maps: Classic, the Depot, the Aliens, the Foundry, the Jungle, the Glacier and the Desert. Every 400 points the run moves on to the next one. • Each map has obstacles of its own: swinging crates, drifting ice floes, flytraps, wall lasers, sliding slabs, and vines that slow you down. • Four of them send something after you: a parcel drone, a rockfall, a flying saucer whose tractor beam pulls your plane in, and a saguaro that throws cactus balls. • Every Halloween, a haunted manor joins the tour for three weeks. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Endless: chase your best down a new shaft every run. • Time Attack: eight hand-built courses, with checkpoints and a ghost of your best run. Four medals on every course, and medals open the later ones. • Daily Drift: one course a day, the same for everyone. One run, plus a bonus run. • Race: two players face to face on one phone, in split screen, with a handicap to even things out. COLLECT • Tap the figures that appear in the windows to keep them in the Showcase: 67 in all, from common to ultra rare, some only at Halloween. • Catch stamp pieces mid-flight and put together a 13-stamp album. Finish it and a plane of its own is yours. • Fly through paper coins and spend them on 99 colours for your planes and trails. • 18 planes and 19 trails, earned with levels, scores, medals and collections. KEEP FOLDING • Four daily quests, from easy to expert, and packs of mastery quests that climb in tiers. • 50 levels, with a reward at every one: titles, badges, planes and trails. • Game Center leaderboards for Endless, Daily Drift and each of the eight courses. • Share a run, or a finished stamp, as a picture. FAIR BY DESIGN • Every unlock is cosmetic. The plane you start with flies exactly like the one you finish with. • A deterministic simulation: the run that beat you can be learned, not blamed. • Every level is test-flown by the game's own simulation before it ships. MADE FOR YOUR HANDS • Steer with either half of the screen, a Steer Pad or Tilt, with a left-handed layout. • Reduce Motion, High Contrast, Bigger UI, colour-vision modes that hatch deadly beams, Slow Mode and haptics. • Portrait, one thumb, short sessions. • In English and Spanish. FREE TO PLAY Endless runs and Time Attack attempts use energy, which refills over time; Daily Drift and Race are always free. Optional videos can revive a run, reroll a quest, refill energy or add coins, and are never forced. An ad may play between runs, at most once every ten minutes. The shop sells coin packs, one-hour unlimited-energy passes and Remove Ads, which removes every ad. Nothing for sale changes how your plane flies. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Every mode plays offline, and your progress stays on your device. Ads, the shop and leaderboards need a connection.
