Paper Pilot

This app is a fun game in which you fly a paper airplane around a room collecting paperclips. Part of the challenge is finding them, but they are pretty large and front and center so don’t let that stop you from trying it. The controls are easy once you get the hang of them. All you have to do is tilt the iPhone left and right to turn your plane and use your thumb to speed up or slow down. If you need to move the aircraft up or down, a simple tilt takes care of that too.

There are four different stages with two levels apiece. You start off in the “main office” and eventually progress to the oh so heavily cloaked “secret level.” In some apps you can just pick levels willy nilly, but in this one you cannot progress to the next stage until you beat both stages.

The graphics aren’t groundbreaking, but they are above average for an iPhone game, using decent 3D animation. The sound is rather annoying, since it is one of those songs that is just the same synth loop over and over with a couple random drum beats thrown in. I found myself playing without the sound to avoid a headache. Options include a “victory screen” to show off your achievements as well as an option to “clear all times” if your buddy is being too much of a braggart. There is also a useful instructions option that gives a tutorial on how to play.

I really enjoyed this game and would recommend to anyone who likes flight simulators but finds the current crop too challenging.
