Paper Planes is a lighthearted competitive action game built around the simple pleasure of flying unusual aircraft and trying to send rival players crashing out of the arena. Developed by Saucecup Studios and published by DigiPen Institute of Technology, it originated as a student project and embraces a deliberately compact design. Instead of stretching its concept across a campaign or complicated progression system, the game concentrates on short multiplayer battles where movement, positioning, weapons, environmental dangers, and quick reactions determine who remains airborne. The basic objective is immediately understandable. Players pilot their chosen craft through a two-dimensional arena while attacking opponents and avoiding destruction themselves. Its arcade-style flight mechanics favor accessibility and entertainment over realistic aerodynamics, allowing newcomers to understand the fundamentals without learning the intricacies of a flight simulator.

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population.

Students here were clearly mistaught that it's fine to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era. 3D graphics cards became uniquitous in every single gaming PC ever since the 1990's when the ATI Rage and Voodoo3 hit the scene. Any professional development business that sees a prospective hire who doesn't know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid 1990's with the Voodoo3 and ATI Rage probably isn't going to give them a job. Bad for the students, and what is this delivering for us gamers in the 3D gaming era? We also have to question what value there is for gamers on Steam when institutions flood the store with low quality 2D video game homework assignments... sure, it might make the students feel good about themselves, but this has no benefit for gamers who have to wade through this stuff to find professionally made 3D games. So…
