A free web build of Paper Planet was recently uploaded to Newgrounds. That build is actually already over a year old, but it was the most recently one we could to run with consistent stability. You can try a standalone demo on Steam that is much more up to date! The full game releases August 21st, so don't forget to add it to your Wishlist! It helps us out a LOT!
What is Paper Planet?
Paper Planet is a planet-defending, bullet hell/heaven roguelike created by @Willops. It is packed to the brim with references to classic Flash titles and other popular roguelikes that have been great inspirations over the years. Run are meant to be fast, casual, and filled with game-breaking, overpowered item synergies. This game was basically a checklist of everything I love in games old and new! So it is my absolute pleasure for 2 Left Thumbs to be publishing this title :)
