Did you like Paper Glider?

Paper Glider

Paper Glider is a one-button flight through a canyon painted in watercolour. Hold anywhere and the folded plane pulls its nose up and glides; let go and it dips, gathers speed and carries that speed into the next climb. That is the entire control scheme, and the whole game is learning how to spend speed well.

The canyon does the rest. Wind gusts show up as pale streaks in the air and lift you when you fly into one. Paper rings hang in the gaps and pay out bonus distance when you thread them. Rock spurs, tethered kites and canyon birds are the only things that end a flight, and the next one is always a single tap away — nothing here is out to punish you.

There are three ways to fly. Endless runs the canyon forever with a gentle difficulty ramp and keeps your best distance in your browser. Daily Flight is seeded from the date, so everyone who plays that day flies exactly the same course. Zen removes the obstacles altogether and leaves the gusts, the rings and the quiet, which is the one to pick when you only want to relax. It plays the same with a mouse, a finger or the space bar; P pauses and M mutes.

Tips for Paper Glider

Paper Glider is all about spending speed well. Letting go makes the plane dip and pick up speed, and that speed carries into your next climb, so a short dive before a rise often gets you higher than holding the whole way. Holding too long bleeds speed away, so use short holds and releases rather than one long press.

Watch for the pale streaks in the air. Those are wind gusts, and flying into one gives you free lift, so steer towards them when you can. Paper rings pay bonus distance, but only chase one if the path through it is clear of rock spurs, kites and birds, since those are the only things that end a flight. If you are new, try Zen first: it removes the obstacles, so you can learn how the plane climbs and dives. Then move on to Endless or the Daily Flight.

Frequently asked questions

Is Paper Glider free to play?

Yes. Paper Glider is free to play in your browser on Kiloo, with nothing to download and no account needed. Your best distance in Endless is kept in the browser you play in, and a new flight is always one tap away.

Can I play Paper Glider on my phone?

Yes. Touch and hold anywhere on the screen to glide, and lift your finger to dive. On a computer you hold the mouse button or Space instead. R restarts the flight and P pauses.

What is Zen mode in Paper Glider?

Zen removes the obstacles altogether and leaves the wind gusts, the paper rings and the quiet canyon. Nothing can end your flight, which makes it the mode to pick when you just want to relax.

Is the Daily Flight the same for everyone?

Yes. Daily Flight is seeded from the date, so everyone who plays Paper Glider that day flies exactly the same course, with the same gusts, rings and obstacles in the same places.
