Description:

Paper Maze is a 2D platform game where you are a paper plane and your job is to reach the end point, it has 36 playable levels with increasing dificulty.

Use Mouse to select levels and (w,a,s,d or arrow keys) to move the plane.

Note that random wind is generated every game start so movement may vary(check the background to see the wind direction).

Every level must be completed in less than 10 seconds (unless you use the checkpoints)

The first 6 levels are the tutorial which shows the important features of the game.

You can upload your highscore after completing a level (Use delete key to delete characters from name)

Nice.. although pretty random in regards to music. :)
The controls would be better if they were more precise.

Rated 5/5 on every category based on the fact that this game was made by a madman.

Nice aesthetically pleasing game, but it was difficult to control at times. :( Nice work, though!

It found it very difficult to handle, but it looks fine

Good game. Works well in Chrome . Nice that you took the time for a tutorial. Good level design, decent mechanics. Nice variety of music.

It crashes Firefox v. 23.0.1.

Copyright lawyers are gonna have a field day with this haha. Still, nice little game, and super grats considering it was written in JS/HTML5 from scratch without any middleware. :)

The music in the first tutorial level made me laugh out loud, well done. Well done.

The controls were iffy, and I couldn't get past He Man for some reason, but it was enjoyable :)

A challenging and totally addicting game. I can't believe how much content you made in such a short time. Brilliantly well done. Top marks for theme - my 10 seconds were spent differently on every level.

Death Star music + Pokeball = genius.

You spend a lot of the time fighting the controls.
Pretty neat though

The random movement speed really ruined the game for me, especially when you combine that with the subpar controls - and some levels (like the one with the 5 or 6 slow things you have to just hold right arrow down on to get through) are impossible unless you get lucky with the wind factor. Other than that, it's a pretty simple game but that's offset by the amount of content, and it has a nice leaderboard system. (I'm Purebe, I WANTED ALL THE HIGH SCORES ... until the controls and randomness made me give up :P) Great job overall.

The high score feature adds a lot. I like the art style.

Giving you any points for music would be putting your competitors at a disadvantage.
davidwparker28 Aug 2013, 06:01
Cool art style. The music was crazy indeed.

...that's a lot of code. One of the first ones I actually checked out- you think it was easier to use the canvas vs webgl?

Doesn't work for me on web .. firefox , gets up to the full bar of arrows then script error and goes no further

Indiana Jones level won 5 star humor award by itself. I really had fun on some challenges. Good game.

The random wind direction and speed made the level less precise than desirable
gmaker28 Aug 2013, 15:52
nice game! very hard to me!! =) good job!
sittaman28 Aug 2013, 16:13
Very funny and I liked most of the playlist. The random factor on the speed gives it a tricky feeling. Also thumbs up for the high-score table!
dekart28 Aug 2013, 18:14
Different music for each level made me laugh :)

I really liked it and the music. games are art and yours is really beautiful.

Very crazy music! I liked this type of challenge!!

Both good and bad. The random handling really brought out the masochist in me until I finished it. See, both good and bad.

Oh and I forgot to mention, the highscores are not truthful based on the fact that movement speed varies each try. A skilled player might not get the chance to compete on their go of the level because the game has handicapped them. Secondly, the end portals hit zones feel too small. Yes I'm nitpicking.

Not bad. The controls are kind of iffy, and the music is...hit and miss.

Very nice! I like a lot this kind of challenge but I can't get past the Harlem Shake level. Great work but the levels shouldn't be locked so when someone gets stuck at a level he/she can play the other levels.
