Paper Toss – No, not your paper route.

Come on we’ve all done it either at home or around the office.  We have all taken that piece of paper, crumpled it up and taken the last second shot on the basket to win the game.  If you’re like me you miss, a lot, but still I try.

Seriously it’s a game that I think is as old as time itself, or basketball, which ever came first.  So having that game on your iPhone should be a natural thing right.  Let’s see what the developer did to make this interesting for us.

Main Menu

When you load the game you’re given a couple of options.  You can chose the level of difficulty or two other locations.  Now this confuses me because if I had designed the game I would have placed the locations as a sub menu/screen after you chose the difficulty level.  To each there own, I guess.  Doesn’t really matter in a free game to be honest.  It’s nice to have to the two other locations at all, so I’ll stop looking a gifted horse in the mouth.  Another saying that makes no sense to me.

You can also turn the sound on and off and check out the high scores.  I actually didn’t notice these two things the first time I played the game.  Tricky how they hide them in the background.

Game Play

Game play is good.  The game author leaves the flicking direction up to you but takes care of the the power, thankfully!  I think if you had to worry about both it would be really hard.  The various levels of play only mean that the basket is further away making the fan affect it more.  Oh, I didn’t mention the fan?  What fun would it be without a fan blowing your paper wad this way and that?  No fun, I say.  Don’t worry there is an indication has to the direction of the breeze and how strong it is.  You just have to compensate your direction of flickage.  Yeah that’s right I made that word up.  Let’s see what my editor thinks about that.

All things considered this is a great way to pass some time.  It’s certainly worth the price tag and the ads are not obtrusive enough to be a bother.  I would recommend this game because it’s simple and fun.
