Paper Pals

Welcome to the world of Papers Pals! Where you and up to four friends solve puzzles, overcome challenges, and defeat enemies in order to save the Paper Kingdom from the rule of the evil King!

With inspiration from games like Mario Party and Castle Crashers, we aim to create a fun and friendly experience made for all ages. The current download is our latest Alpha build, but we're excited to announce we've recently moved into Beta Development! We'd love for you to play our free demo and tell us what you think.

Combat Rooms:

• Animals, Attack - Destroy the enemy crystal before time runs out.
• Crystal Defender - Defend your crystal from waves of enemies until time runs out.
• Horde Combat - Defeat all the enemies before time runs out.
• Survive - Remain alive until the time runs out.
• Zone Capture - Stand on each of the Zone Points long enough while keeping all enemies away.

Puzzle Rooms:

• Compass Blocks - Slide each of the blocks to their compass locations (N block on the top, E block on the right, S block on bottom, W block on the left) and leave the icon block in the center.
• Flicker Maze - Pay attention to the maze while it's visible and use the arrows to navigate the blinking tile to the rotating star.
• Sword Spin - Navigate through the room using colorful tiles to reach each sword positioned in the corner. Walk over the tiles to make the swords face the center of the room. Use tiles of the same color in different sections of the room to move between them.
• Tile Trouble - Change all red tiles to green. When a tile is stepped on, it changes its own color as well as the colors of all adjacent tiles, but not diagonal tiles.

Minigame Rooms:

• Beach Ball Bash - Attack each of the beach balls to pop them. Pop each of the beach balls before time runs out.
• Runaway Trains - Pay attention to the blinking tracks and avoid all the oncoming trains. Don't get hit before time runs out.
• Splatter - Run around the room to paint the canvas on the floor. Try to be the player with the most paint when time runs out, but make sure the paint meteors don't cover more of the canvas.
• Sweeper - Dodge the sweeper arm by carefully calculating when to jump over it as it spins in circles, slowly gaining more and more speed. Don't fall off before time runs out.
