Paper Glider: Master XY Scrolling Platforming with 3 Endings & Boss Battles
Dive into Paper Glider, widely considered developer @23ScratchMan's masterpiece. This non-generic, paper-themed XY scrolling platformer offers a perfect blend of accessible design and brutally challenging "impossible" levels.
Dual Game Modes & November 2020 Update
The major Level Select Feature update allows you to replay any previously reached level for practice or speedrunning. However, to experience the full narrative, in-game messages, and the exclusive, intense Boss Battle, you must play the classic Story Mode.
Three Endings & Speedrunning
Your journey offers three distinct conclusions: completing Level 1, defeating the final boss, and achieving 100% game completion. The game is officially listed on Speedrun.com, inviting you to compete for personal bests or even attempt a world record. Track which Scratchers have reached these endings via the provided cloud monitor link.
Precise Controls & Boss Mechanics
- Movement: Arrow Keys or WASD.
- Special: Hold Up to glide; Press Space for a double jump (inspired by NSMBU Acorn Suit).
- Reset: Press R if you get stuck.
- Boss Fight: This ghost-inspired boss requires precise timing. Jump on his head when he rests surrounded by flames, or immediately after his laser attack when he laughs. Phase 3 removes the rest state, forcing you to capitalize on the laugh window.
