Design Statement
For me the theme gave me a sense of community and freedom, of like going from one to many, specially the first half that is like a "build up". The first thing that came to my min was flying. It felt very peaceful. Because of that I wanted to create something that is more about that peacefulness and something around the message of becoming "more in community".

So the whole objective of Paperplanes is to liberate others and make them join you, and as your flock or community get bigger, you can do tricks in the air, the music picks up, you go faster and in general I tried to make the controls feel better. The game rewards you to be in a bigger community.

I wanted to make a complete journey, meaning to something that has more of a beginning and an end but after two friends playtesting telling me that they like flying around, I decided to focused on that.

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
- Just download and unzip and play
- Highly recommend a gamepad, but keyboard works. WASD to move, mouse to look, space to dash and E to "call"
- Other instructions are there in the game
- Part of the charm is discovering. But you can do tricks pressing 1,2,3 or 4 or the 4 gamepad shoulder buttons and I dont wanna say what are the tricks

Did your project use any AI tools or assets? If yes, please specify.
I used some Claude Code for some mechanics, debugging and quality of life stuff (help me make a main menu). No AI generated art.
