About the project

Pappersflyget (Swedish for “the paper plane flight”) is gliding, not powered flight: the plane is always sinking, and every flight is a series of small lifts. Crash and the round is over – one tap starts the next.

The whole game lives in a single HTML file with canvas and plain JavaScript – no frameworks and no external resources.

What’s missing is a reason to fly again after the tenth time: levels with an ending, goals to reach and a best score that’s still there on your next visit.

Current state

What works

  • Three difficulty levels – gentle breeze, tailwind and storm
  • A random landscape with trees, houses, bridges, mountains, balloons and flocks of birds
  • An eagle that actively hunts you, and gusts of wind that push you sideways
  • Shield, slow motion, magnet and thermals
  • Mouse, keyboard and touch; original sound and installable

What isn’t finished

  • No levels or goals – just as far as possible
  • The best score only lasts for the session
  • Everything in a single file, without tests

Why is this project on BSite?

  • Features are not complete yet

Pappersflyget is charming and easy to pick up, but thin – after a few flights there is nothing more to discover. It is shown here early in its life. With more levels and goals to fly towards, it is ready to move back to EverydayGames.

Screenshots

  • The start screen with a paper plane against a blue sky and three cards to choose from – gentle breeze, tailwind and storm.
  • The plane glides through an orange evening sky as flocks of birds cross its path.
  • The crash screen with 651 points and a session best, in front of the skyscraper the plane just flew into.

Development log

  1. Moved to BSite. The game itself stays at the same address, everydaygames.se/pappersflyget/.

  2. The sound effects replaced with custom-produced audio.

  3. Built as an endless gliding game in a single HTML file.
