'Paper Monsters' Is Paper Thin On Features But Still Enjoyable
Paper Monsters is an interactive adventure game produced by Crescent Moon Games, where the player is a miniature robot-esque character created out of cardboard and paper. Although he looks plain to begin with, you can visit the Dressing Room and select various add-ons to your character, from sunglasses to hats to headphones. Items are redeemed through the collection and earning of gold buttons, which can also be purchased from the Button Store for a fee. This way, you can tailor the main character towards your personality.
You can either start the game, or play Dash Mode, where your character is constantly moving in a forward motion through an ongoing level, and the object is to defeat as many enemies (by jumping on them) and collecting as many silver buttons as possible.

In the main chapters of the game, your objective is to collect as many silver and gold buttons as possible while defeating enemies using warp pipes, collecting gold paper clips (of which there are 3 hidden ones per level), and defeating a boss at the end of each chapter. Fifty silver buttons equal one gold button, and the gold buttons can be redeemed in the Dressing Room.
Play throughout the game is very animated. For example, presents open, checkpoints are pinwheels, and enemies burst into shreds of paper after you jump on them. Additionally, flowers and mushrooms are constantly blooming along your path through the level. The graphics are very cutesy and colorful, and all characters look as though they are constructed from paper (hence the 'Paper Monsters' title).
Your left thumb controls the movement of your character, while the right thumb performs the jump/double jump feature. This can lead to some frustration during game play, however, as the movement option is very touchy.
Beyond the simple moving and jumping options, the game is limited. Although the graphics are first class, the game lacks depth. Paper Monsters would have been more enjoyable had the creators added some extra features and character capabilities but as it stands this game is still worth picking up.
