![]() Likewise, the music is a lot of fun to listen to, with catchy melodies that wonderfully fit the game’s setting.įinally, you can customize your character’s appearance from within the Button Store. It’s bright, beautiful, and bursting with color. The overall effect is awe-inspiring: This is one of the best-looking games you’re likely to find on mobile devices. The world of Paper Monsters is designed to look like a place that was created from complicated origami pieces, one fold at a time. Even though the game is a 2D platformer, the 3D graphics look amazing, and it’s hard to not be reminded of Sackboy as you watch the cardboard hero run through his surroundings. LittleBigPlanet‘s influence is obvious as soon as you look at the graphics. Like the rest of the game, this is insanely fun and addictive. You have to guide the little guy past enemies, bounce off springboard mushrooms, and jump across bottomless gaps while collecting buttons and building up as high a score as possible. This is a platform section where you control one of the paper monsters who happens to be running full-tilt through a sprawling environment. There are even levels where you ride moving platforms over chasms if you play things safe, you can avoid enemies easily, but you won’t be able to snag all the collectible items scattered along the way.Īfter you complete the first chapter of the game, the game’s Dash Mode is unlocked. The background sections are a blast, since they keep the main part of the level in the foreground and you have to focus a little harder on what your character is doing while he runs around further off in the distance. Meanwhile, you travel between areas (or sections in the background) via warp pipes. Tapping the screen causes you to jump (and double-jump), and you collect items like buttons and paperclips as you progress through levels. You take enemies out by stomping on them, and many of them seem like paper versions of Mario enemies (there are even little walking bombs who will affect the environment when they explode). This isn’t where the Mario similarities end, either. However, if that’s not your bag, you can switch from the virtual thumbstick to a classic gamepad scheme. ![]() You control movement with your left thumb, which creates a virtual thumbstick when you touch the screen. The 2D platforming is straight out of the classic Mario games. Thankfully, there’s a nameless hero - who resembles nothing so much as an adorable robot - and who’s made from cardboard. The realm of Paper Land is a happy place until a would-be conqueror and his paper monster minions hit the scene. ![]() The story goes a little something like this. and LittleBigPlanet decided to put aside their differences, have a beautiful baby, and let the little bundle of awesome grow up on my iPhone. You see, I’ve just finished playing Paper Monsters, and the game’s left me literally speechless. I’ve been staring at my screen for the better part of an hour, trying to figure out how to start this review. Paper Monsters is everything good about Super Mario Bros and LittleBigPlanet crammed into your iPhone
