The best online Paper Plane Game ever! (updated)

by eunmac on November 13, 2006

For some reason this little Paper Plane game has developed a life of it’s own. The words addiction, annoying and aaaaarrghhhh seem to be used commonly. Sorry everyone… we only made it for a laugh ;)

Original Viral Game Xbox 360 Version Mock Ads (NEW – Jan 08)
image image image
It just keeps spreading… a good throw is over 115m. You can find cheats in comments below or on YouTube

PLAY >>>

Slightly different graphics and tweaked flight. A good score is over 140m.

PLAY >>>

We have no idea how far you can throw a migrant. But would you even want to????

NEWS:
Jan 15 – The Paper Plane engine was just re-purposed by us for the AdNews ‘mock-ads’ (it is not a real site, but a what if…) If you’re bored of throwing planes then try throwing a Migrant! Play here. Note: Please read the intro before you get the wrong idea… this is a ‘reverse psychology ad’ that carries the real social message …at the end.

“That’s gotta hurt…”

Jan 4 2008 – Approaching 200 million games. The game was even mentioned in US Rolling Stone Magazine in December. So we’re starting to think about a new version and we’d love any feedback and requests for what you’d like to see improved/new features. We’ve set a page for your thoughts here.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL VERSION:
http://flightsimx.archive.amnesia.com.au/index.html
It’s simple – throw the plane as far as you can using your mouse. You can play a game in less than 5 seconds. But if you’re like most people, you might have more than a few throws. There are plenty of tips and tricks from nice people below in the comments so read on if you are stuck.


Game History:
We built this mini game for a FlightSim X promo/competition in Dec 06. It finished it’s run after 6 weeks on NineMSN in Australia (did very well) and we pulled it from air when the competition ended. In April 07 we stuck it up on our archive server, and we put a link to it here in our blog. We have no idea how the game spread given that we did nothing to promote it, but we do really appreciate everyone (now counted in millions) giving up their valuable minutes to play. We intend to keep it up and running as long as people like it and want to play it, and hopefully we can pump out some new versions in the future if the demand is there.

Oh finally… we do apologise to people who have spent so much time, lost jobs, wives etc …over a (let’s be honest) rather annoying little game…

Love Amnesia :)

Best so far – 114.169m……

Arno July 10, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Nice Game :)

114.567 so far… Still trying to bust this personal record.

Melissa July 11, 2009 at 7:23 am

YOU GUYS DON;T KNOW THIS?!?
take the plane to just below the top of the screen on the left hand side, but a little bellow. then move your cursor around the playing screen (up, right then down) and bring it in just below the top handle of the stove. the plane should then go through the flatscreen and doesn’t flip at the first astronaut.i usually get around 136m or so?

Mel O'Drama July 11, 2009 at 10:29 am

I prefer to throw it at the floor so I can start over more quickly. My best is 0.97 m.

Teh July 14, 2009 at 4:12 pm

I get 0m :)

Judy August 5, 2009 at 2:52 am

If they would make it open source someone would add some length to it, and maybe some cool graphics, and other stuff.

dseese September 24, 2009 at 9:42 am

take the plane and drag it all the way to the left, move the mouse off the screen to the other side and bring it in the picture, it will shoot the plane much faster but it takes practice to aim it. start high and bring the cursor back in somewhat low and i get 130-140 all day

smc22 October 11, 2009 at 6:56 am

what is the number 1 ranking. 113.854is my best and i just want to find out were about im at in the rankings

Nick October 12, 2009 at 12:20 am

I don’t much care about who’s longest, but can you do a loop the loop? …and how?

Tosser October 12, 2009 at 2:00 am

smc22: Nice work. I used to have the #1 ranking at 114.54 but I haven’t checked lately to see if I’m still in first. I just haven’t had the time, since I’ve been playing that other cool game they started. Good luck!

rob October 26, 2009 at 2:30 am

i got 114.382 without the cheat :D

hugo October 28, 2009 at 10:56 am

Quite amazing indeed – love the scenery after roughly 350m…

Zygi October 29, 2009 at 5:46 am

Just watched it go past the 1000 metre mark, not for the first time, trouble is it reverts to ’0′ and doesn’t register the score. My highest is 115.541m without cheats.

Tyler October 30, 2009 at 2:33 am

I created an office league but some of my coworkers don’t want to be in it. How can I delete players from my league or change their names? I can only see how to add them!?? Any help is appreciated.

Freedom November 8, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Get on up ya November 8, 2009 at 6:50 pm

I agree with freedom, i have a high score of 9.899m, meaning I too cant get the plne out the damn window. Is there a cheat? im going insane here and may actually have to resort to going back to doing some work

HOOSY November 8, 2009 at 6:55 pm

Anne Onomus January 19, 2010 at 4:03 am

When are they going to finally make a new version? The old one is fun for a week or so, but really, it’s played out.
