Background

Paper Plane, developed by BradenM, is a simple, focused flying-arcade game built around guiding a paper airplane through the air, navigating obstacles with light, momentum-based controls. Its charming, low-fi paper-craft aesthetic gives it a distinct visual identity compared to more elaborate flight games, leaning into simplicity as a strength rather than a limitation.

Games centered on paper airplane physics tend to emphasize gentle, drifting momentum over precise, snappy controls, since a paper plane's real-world flight behavior — floaty, easily affected by small inputs — is part of what makes the format feel distinct from other flying games.

How to Play

• Arrow Keys / Mouse (shown in-game) — guide your paper plane's flight path.
• Navigate gaps and obstacles while maintaining altitude and control.
• Use gentle, precise inputs to manage the plane's drifting momentum.
• Glide as far as possible without crashing.

Goal & Purpose

The objective is to guide the paper plane as far as possible through each obstacle-filled course, with distance traveled serving as the main measure of success.

Why Play Paper Plane

Its charming, gentle flight physics make for a relaxing yet skillful challenge. GBK Games also has Eagle Ride for another momentum-based flight game.
