Paper Toss Review


I kept seeing paper toss everywhere in the top app lists so I finally decided to get it and give it a go this week.  It is a silly and addictive game that has taken the app marketplace by storm and still pops in and out of the top app lists.  


Paper Toss is dead simple all you need to do is flick a crumpled ball of paper into the bin.  While this may sound easy, each level has its own challenges.  These challenges come in the bin's distance from the player and the bins size.  On some levels you also have fans that blow your paper ball in different directions, affecting your accuracy. 


While I really did not think a game like this would appeal to me, it has won me over.  It does feel like you are in an office, as the games sound effects replicate the bustle of a busy office, complete with co-workers who just cannot wait to throw some abuse at your poor skills.


Sure the game may be simple in its design, but then that is the appeal of a lot of good iOS apps.  It will entertain you briefly in a lunch break or on the bus.  Paper Toss is highly addictive and complimented by it's nice 3D rendering.  There are seven different stages that take place in different surroundings.  Once you get bored of your office surroundings you can visit the bar, a toilet, a basement or an airport, all of which have their own surroundings and charm.


The beauty of this app is that it is free. With this version you have to put up with adverts but they are barely noticeable, however if this gets on your nerves you can purchase the full app for a mere 69p, which is well worth the price if you ask me. 


Overall the app is addictive and fun but it could do with more levels or variations to increase it longevity.  Still as it is it will keep you busy for probably much longer than you intended.
