My limited experience with flight simulators has often ended in disaster, with me approaching the runway too quickly and at the wrong angle. However, Paper Sky, a new indie game developed by Brute Force, offers a refreshing twist on the typical flying experience. Instead of complex controls and realistic graphics, players get to control a paper plane made from a discarded note, adding a whimsical element to the game.
Gameplay and Features
In Paper Sky, players start with a simple paper ball that quickly transforms into a glide-sustaining plane. The game features a semi-open world where players can seamlessly switch between the ball and the plane. While the ball can roll and jump, the plane can ride gusts of wind to increase speed. The game’s colorful and vibrant visuals, paired with a delightful soundtrack, create a captivating experience for players.
Despite its simplistic premise, Paper Sky requires players to master the art of flying the paper plane. With elements of physics at play, players must be mindful of their movements to avoid crashing into obstacles. While crashing is not a game over scenario, it motivates players to improve their flying skills and maintain momentum. The game’s reward system, such as the soundtrack intensifying as speed increases, adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the gameplay.
As I explore the charming seaside town in the demo, I can’t help but feel excited about the potential of Paper Sky. The game promises to take players to more fantastical locales beyond the demo area, enhancing the overall experience. However, the success of the game’s Kickstarter campaign will determine its future. With a planned full release by the end of 2025, Brute Force has high hopes for Paper Sky and aims to deliver a unique and engaging indie gaming experience to players.
Paper Sky offers a refreshing take on the flight simulator genre, combining whimsical gameplay with beautiful visuals and an immersive soundtrack. With its innovative mechanics and potential for expansion, the game has the makings of a standout indie title. As I eagerly await more updates on Paper Sky’s development, I can’t help but feel optimistic about the game’s future in the gaming industry.
