If you’ve ever found yourself needing the perfect mash-up of Paper Mario and LittleBigPlanet, mobile developer UsFun Games might have the answer in theircharming puzzle-platformer PAPER Anne.

Placing you in a papercraft world that’s distraught and in tatters at the hands of the Queen of Hearts, as the titular Anne you’ll work your way through various storybook levels which each present their own mysteries to solve. Most work by having you slide and shift the pieces of the world around you, resulting in a storybook adventure that emphasises puzzles as well as straight platforming.

PAPER Anne’s touch controls make it a breeze to guide Anne safely through the many hazards set in place by the Queen of Hearts which stand in her way. It’s simply a matter of tapping, swiping, and sliding while solving the puzzles and platforming sections in time.

The game recently recently introduced its fourth chapter as part of a recent update, giving those eager to explore more fairy-tale puzzles in PAPER Anne the ability to do so. Don’t be surprised if you come across a cast of completely new characters in addition to those from like The Nutcracker, The Ugly Duckling, and of course, Alice in Wonderland.

If you’ve not yet jumped into PAPER Anne and are considering taking a page out of the game’s book, hop on over to the App Store today.
