-Each Chapter consists of a main path and optional path. To gain access to the optional path a certain condition must be met in another mission. Each main pathway is divided by Story segments.
-In-game story is handled through VCOT (Video COmmunication Technology). Hear and see your support team. See and hear enemy and ally pilots.
-Each MISSION is limited due to FUEL. When FUEL runs out the MISSION is completed. There will be MISSIONS where certain side conditions also need to be completed. There are times when extra FUEL is added to your craft and other conditions will determine if a MISSION is successful or not.
-PAPER PLANES PLUS uses the DYNAMIC PAPER SYSTEM. DPS affects how the player aircraft handles damage. Damage to the player aircraft can cause SPECIAL WEAPONS, and STINGER MISSILES to lose function. The aircraft may also become less wieldy in flight with no wings. GET a REPAIR item to FIX the aircraft.
-These are some PILOT ABILITIES:
AUTO REPAIR fix your aircraft completely.
STEALTH allows the aircraft to move unhindered, able to pass through projectiles and enemy crafts.
FLARES shoot forward. 3 FLARES will block and attract enemy missiles and bullets.
-When the Player aircraft is destroyed the PILOT will eject. This is PILOT MODE. PILOT MODE allows the player to stay in the fight. Shoot with your PILOT PISTOL and use CHAIR BOOSTERS to move up and down. Destroying any enemy in PILOT MODE will always drop a PLUS UP item. GET a PLUS UP item to GET another aircraft and continue the MISSION.
-Two advanced maneuvers are available to each PILOT:
AIRBRAKE/AIRDODGE- Pull to the left to activate the AIRBRAKE. The aircraft will increase speed to the left and get out of harms way. Advanced use will allow the PILOT to AIRDODGE. AIRDODGE allows the player to pass by bullets and missiles that would otherwise hit the aircraft. Use the AIRDODGE to become the ULTIMATE DOGFIGHTER.
SPEEDBREAK- Tilt to the right for a short time and the aircraft will boost forwards accelerating more quickly.
A BLACKOUT is a negative effect. BLACKOUT occurs when the PILOT goes upwards for too long. The screen will flash BLACK then back to normal shortly after. This is not good, as enemy projectiles will be difficult to see.
-DOGFIGHT MODE is activated when engaging the specialized enemy squadron known as BIRDS OF PREY. The player aircraft will now operate in FULL 360 degree MOTION around the area.
- MISSIONS occur at the moment of need and call. Therefore CIVILIANS may reside in MISSION AREAS. To help reduce the loss of CIVILIAN LIFE, CIV MARKERS are awarded. If a PILOT chooses to destroy a CIVILIAN, that PILOT will receive a CIV MARKER. COLLECT 5 CIV MARKERS in a MISSION and you will be given a penalty. CIV MARKERS are wiped after each MISSION.
There are 2 BONUS MODES in PAPER PLANES PLUS.
2 PLAYER COOP ARCADE and 2 PLAYER VERSUS
2 PLAYER MODES are subject to changes as they are still in early development. They are playable in the DEMO.
Online Multiplayer Requires users to have accounts with PARSEC. Download at parsec.app
2 PLAYER COOP ARCADE puts 2 players against a never ending onslaught of enemies. PLAYERS will face an assortment of enemy placements and BOSSES from the STORY MODE. Get the HI SCORE by downing enemy crafts. This mode ends when BOTH PLAYERS are destroyed.
2 PLAYER VERSUS pits two players against each other. Use ESS FK-14 DOGFIGHT PLANES to determine who is #1. Each Plane has the same loadout. The difference is projectiles can be used to block other projectiles. Blocked projectiles will produce a colourful smoke. Don't lose sight of the prize though eh!?
