A paper plane game you fly around the world

A boy who can't travel yet writes a wish on a notebook page, folds it into a paper plane and throws it from his window. In Paper Skyline you fly that plane over Paris, New York, Tokyo, Dubai, London and more than fifteen other cities.

Paris at sunset before a throw: the paper plane on its launcher by the river, the Eiffel Tower behind, with Settings, Workshop and Menu buttons

How a flight works

Drag back from the launcher and let go: how far you drag sets the power, and the angle sets the launch. In the air, steer with the rudder, tap Boost to climb, and Strike to hit what's in your way. Every flight pays for what it did: distance, height, top speed, time in the air and what you knocked over. There's no minimum payout.

Upgrade and fly farther

Spend your coins in the Workshop on the launcher, wings, hull, engine and fuel tank. Each upgrade shows on the next throw, so the plane that barely clears the first rooftops ends up crossing the whole city.

Get past each city's keepers

Every city has an Elite and a Boss: the Carousel Horse and the Stryge in Paris, the yellow taxi and the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Oryx and the Pearl Diver in Dubai. Hit a weak point for a big BONK!, or build a strong enough plane and get past with plain hits. Nobody gets hurt: the keepers give way and take a bow.

Some keepers ask for a hand instead of a chase, with a little puzzle of their own. Those live on the Minigames page.

Cities to fly over

Plays offline, on everyday phones

Paris comes inside the app and plays offline from the start. Every other city downloads once, usually around 20 MB, and then plays with no internet. On Android the download from Google Play is about 190 MB. The game runs on mid-range phones and tablets.

There is nothing to buy. On Android you can choose to watch a short rewarded ad for a bonus; the game never shows one otherwise.
