What’s It About?
Paper Land was a happy place to live until the Paper Monsters showed up. Only the cardboard hero can stop them. Kids will use their thumbs on the touch screen to run and jump through Paper Land, fighting off the monsters, collecting gold and silver buttons, and discovering secret places. The app offers directions and tips during play in brown boxes marked with question marks.
Is It Any Good?
PAPER MONSTERS is an enjoyable game that offers a lot of variety in its 16 levels, which go beyond the standard running and jumping to also include flying and underwater exploration, boss battles, and puzzles that require players to push boxes, flip switches, and more in order to advance. Extra curious players will be rewarded with plenty of hidden areas and secrets to discover, too. The paper aesthetic is fun and imaginative as well.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
