Gameplay

There are three modes – the first is Endless, the original version included in Mega Microgames! which places the player in a randomly generated course, requiring him or her to guide a paper airplane through it as it descends, attempting to get as far down as possible; Time Attack, which places the player in pre-created tracks, requiring them to get down to a certain point as fast as possible; and Race Mode, a two-player competition that is played on one DSi, with one player using the d-pad and the other using the face buttons. There are a total of eight courses in the game. [1]

Reception

Ryan Zacher of Nintendo Life gave the game a 8/10 score, praising its pickup-and-play form factor and low price point alongside the newly added modes. [4] In contrast, Mark Bozon of IGN gave the game a 5/10 score, criticizing the game for its shallow gameplay and lack of content. [5]
