Be a gravity ninja as you battle your friends within the pages of old story books. Run up walls and on ceilings, and then invert your gravity for a surprise attack. It's chaotic yet strategic. Sometimes, it's madness. Sometimes, it's a cat-and-mouse game. You'll laugh and swear at your friends. In Paperbound, you play as characters who come from the pages of old tales. Inside Journey to the Center of the Earth, you discover the ability to have your gravity adapt to any curved surface as you run along it. The fight continues in four other books: Skull Kingdom, Cleopatra, Myth of the Ninja, and Inferno di Dante. Paperbound will feature several dozen maps, a plethora of playable characters, and multiple game modes such as deathmatch, soccer, chase mode, and capture the flag. Paperbound has received several awards and recognition from events and prominent sites such as Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Den of Geek.

We just finished getting Paperbound ready for submission to IndieCade. We built a new gameplay feature, put art in two new levels, updated the music and sound effects, worked on a bunch of new characters, and built a new character selection screen.

We just finished getting Paperbound ready for submission to IndieCade. A whole bunch of work went into this one, the fruits of which you can see in the video below. Here are some of the highlights:

*Created a character selection screen with little mini-arenas
*Added a new character: The Scarab
*Added a gameplay feature where you have to exit the level through a tear in the page in order to win
*New theme music
*Two more levels received art treatments
*Much improved sound effects
*Added color variations for existing characters

We're quite happy with the “exit through the page tear” feature. Once you hit the score limit, a tear opens in the page, and you have to exit through it. Others can stop you, causing the portal to close. We think it adds a nice tension and works well with one of Paperbound’s defining aspects–-the movement.

On the audio front, the sound effects have been improved massively, and Chris, our composer, created a new revision of the theme music that sounds more 1800s-y. It sounds great!

We'd love to know what you think of the most recent changes, so we'd really appreciate you checking out the video and giving us some feedback in the comments. We'd also appreciate your vote on Greenlight. You can follow Paperbound on Facebook and Twitter.

Now enjoy some images from the “Dante’s Inferno” and “Skull Kingdom” books!
