Paperama for iPhone

Overview

Paperama is a puzzle game centered on the traditional Japanese craft of paper folding. Starting with a single square sheet, players try to recreate silhouettes shown on-screen by folding the paper into the required shapes. Precision matters: you have a strict limit on the number of folds, and cleaner, more accurate folds yield higher scores.

How the game works

Each puzzle presents a target outline that you must match by folding. The challenge comes from combining a small allowance of folds with the need for exact alignment. If your result closely follows the guide lines, you’ll earn more points and progress through the levels.

Key features

• 77 thoughtfully designed puzzles to master
• Built-in hint system to assist when a shape becomes tricky
• A constrained fold count for each level to increase difficulty
• Free alternative recommendation: Block Blast — Block Puzzle Games

Scoring and strategy

• Aim for clean, precise folds rather than many quick moves — accuracy improves your score.
• Use hints sparingly; they help you move past a stall but can reduce the satisfaction of solving a shape unaided.
• Learn common fold sequences: certain basic folds reappear across multiple puzzles and speed up progress.
