The background score in the game is also pretty good and worth putting on headphones for. The characters in the game have a boxy, low polygon look to them but that’s fine considering they are supposedly made from paper. Graphics and SoundĪs mentioned before, Paper Monsters is a 3D game and a decent looking one at that. Unfortunately, this mode is broken on Android because after a while the game world abruptly ends and your character goes into an infinite fall. There is also a mini game called Drag ‘N Dash, where the character moves forward on its own and you just have to press jump at the right time to collect the buttons and avoid the enemies. There is the main story mode and two other modes called Punkin’ Time and Heartbreak Shakedown, which offer similar gameplay to the main campaign but are seasonal packages that were released during Valentine’s Day and Halloween. The presence of enemies and collectibles only makes it more fun. Most of the fun comes from the platforming, where timing your jumps correctly is everything. The difficulty ramps up nicely and offers a fair amount of challenge to keep you interested without being too easy or too difficult. It is easy to dismiss the game due to its visual style as something childish and boring but go past the initial levels and you’ll find that the Paper Monsters is challenging enough to keep you on its toes. It’s a neat trick and only possible because the game is in 3D. Once you exit that area, the camera focuses back to the main level. At times you enter special levels within levels, which are actually placed behind the main level, so the camera just focuses in the background so you can see yourself in the back. The side scrolling action is similar to most 2D games but the 3D visuals makes things more interesting. The gameplay in Paper Monsters will remind you of Cordy or Pandemonium (if you are old enough). Thankfully, you get an unlimited supply of torpedoes to fire at them. There, along with the sea creatures, you also have mines to avoid. There are some which cannot be killed this way, or in any way, so you just have to avoid them.Īlong with the land levels there are also some underwater levels where you take the form of a submarine. To take them out, you just have to jump over them. Throughout the game you will face many enemies. These buttons can later be used as currency to purchase items to customize the look of your character.Īlong with the buttons, there are precisely three paper clips in each level but these are usually hidden or out of reach and requires a bit of exploration to find. There are also a handful of gold buttons throughout the levels. There are several silver buttons scattered throughout the level and if you collect 50 you get one gold button. In this game, your objective is to avoid the enemies and collect buttons and paper clips as you move towards the end of the level. Basically, the game is rendered in 3D but the action mostly is in just two planes. Paper Monsters is a 3D side-scrolling game, which is why I referred to it as 2.5D.
