Our take on Paperball
The emphasis on more than 150 stages suggests a large amount of content, but the described play centers on the same core task: balancing a ball through courses. Variety comes from difficulty levels, modes, and environments rather than a different gameplay premise.
What is Paperball?
Paperball is a ball-balancing game with more than 150 stages across over 10 papercrafted environments and four difficulty levels.
Guide the ball through passages and stunts while trying to stay on the stage. Stages can be approached cautiously or played for speed. Rush Mode puts a time limit on how far a run can go, while Medal Mode awards medals for beating record times and unlocks new worlds. There are no lives to manage, so stages can be retried until completed. Play is available alone or in competitive local multiplayer, where players race to finish first for the highest score.
How Paperball plays
- 01Rush Mode
- A countdown limits each run and sets how far the ball can travel.
- 02Medal Mode
- Beating record times earns medals and opens access to new worlds.
- 03Local Multiplayer
- Players compete to cross the finish first and earn the highest score.
- 04Retry Without Lives
- Failed attempts do not use up lives, allowing repeated tries on a stage.
