Paper Toss Boss

 

Paper Toss Boss tasks users with seeking high scores by flicking wads of crumpled up paper into a virtual trash bin. To series newcomers, it all works very intuitively, with users simply touching the paper and sliding their finger in the direction they want it to go. For each wad that lands in the trash bin, points and coins are earned.

Paper Toss Boss is actually the third entry into the popular series about throwing crumpled up pieces of paper into a trashcan. It’s the official sport of bored office peons worldwide, and who can blame them? You can get sucked into this activity for hours before you notice it’s time to get back to work. Playing on your phone just means less mess and less of a chance that your boss will get angry.

The core game has changed little from previous iterations. You must flick a ball of paper towards a trashcan while taking the wind direction (via office fan) into consideration. There’s no set start and end to the game, since you’re scored based on the number of consecutive shots you can make at any given time. Each of the six levels has different features, such as various trashcan distances, moving trashcans, employees to hit, bonus baskets, and more.

It’s not all as simple as it sounds, though, as a fan will periodically change sides and “wind” strength, causing the paper ball to curve in a particular direction. As such, players will have to compensate for air speed, but after some practice it isn’t that bad. For veterans of the series, it won’t be difficult at all. That said, Backflip Studios has added in some new game modes to change things up a bit.

The most basic of these modes is the “Cubicle” where the trash bin is placed relatively close to the player. Fairly low scoring, most of the amusement comes from harassing digital coworkers by flicking items directly at them. It’s not too extravagant with just a wad of paper — other than some dirty looks — but as players score more baskets, they earn more and more Coin that can be used to buy new tossable items such as staplers, tomatoes, and even grenades (also, sequential baskets create a score multiplier that not only boosts one’s score, but how much coin per shot they make too). As one would expect, the results are interesting.
and as one of the downsides of Paper Toss 2.0, currency is earned incredibly slowly, and it will take a significant amount of time to earn enough to unlock new items unless one opts for spending real money on virtual currency packs. If players don’t wish to break open their wallets, the only way to expedite this process is through playing the harder game modes.
What makes Paper Toss Boss a cut above other free minigames is the wide variety of objects to be thrown, each with unique traits and physics. Some balls bounce off the environment, others (such as the tomato) splatter, bananas spin like a boomerang, and the list goes on. These items are unlocked with paper points, the in-game currency. Points can easily be unlocked by scoring. Making a basket in harder levels and special baskets, such as cups on desks, awards more paper points. There’s also an option to pay real money for bulk points, but doing so takes all the fun out of earning them, and frankly, they’re quite easy to get.

Enjoy the free game targeting the bin with different and unique objects to throw. Plus, try your skills troubling annoying co-workers and boss in the game play. There's a jerk in every office with funny attitude to take the revenge on that guy with toss the paper. Grab whatever you can find, and hurl it him in this pay it back game. Crush the paper hit the bull’s eye: your office boss. Toss the paper in the bin considering the wind and hit. Experience much like tossing a real ball of crumpled paper into a bin and even hit the boss to take funny revenge.
Paper points can also be used to buy power-ups. The problem with these is that they require far too many points for a one-time use with little return. For example, one power-up makes the basket bigger for your next throw and another turns off the fan for a single turn. The only power-up we found to be useful was rewind, which allows you to redo a missed shot when you’re on a streak.

Baskets in these modes award more currency, but they are much more difficult to make. One of the hardest is a new “Intern” mode that has some kid wheeling about in a chair back and forth. To add to the challenge, the fan continues to blow making it exceedingly challenging to make baskets. It’s a great addition, but it does come with an obnoxious little oversight. The paper wads don’t reset until the last one stops moving, and a missed shot often results in it getting hung up on the wheels of the intern’s chair. This causes the respawn of a new piece of paper to take longer than it should.

The other game modes aren’t as interesting and consist mostly of trash bins being placed at farther and farther distances within different environments. They still grant more coin than the standard Cubicle mode, so they are certainly worth playing. It is also worth mentioning that that extra coin can be used on more than just amusing items, but also score boosting power-ups as well such as a creating a bigger waste basket or turning off the fan for the next turn.

Overall, the core of Paper Toss 2.0 is the same as it ever was. That said, it was always pretty enjoyable, so that’s probably a good thing. Along with the classic mechanics that made the first game popular, the new rendition comes with several new modes to offer both veterans and newcomers greater variety and challenge. More polished and expansive than the original, Paper Toss 2.0 is a great new free game for wasting time and procrastinating real work.
