Hello Players!

We're excited to share our first major update as we delve into the games' beta! Below you can read all the patch notes for this update.

Paper Can't Fly Online:

Paper Can't Fly Online is an online platform where players can seamlessly explore and share community-created levels. Each level provides feedback and statistics through upvotes, downvotes, plays and downloads. Additionally, each level now offers a dedicated leaderboard where players can compete against one-another for the highest records. But it's no ordinary leaderboard - Players have the option to race against other players' ghosts!
