About the game

A puzzle about origami birds that only fly straight. It started as a folding experiment and somehow became 156 levels. Paper Flock is a tidy-up puzzle with origami birds. Every chick, sparrow, crane and swan faces one way. Tap one and it flies straight ahead until it leaves the board. If another bird is in its path, it bumps into it and you lose one of three paper hearts, so work out the right order. New ideas arrive sky by sky. Gust tiles swing a passing bird a quarter turn, so it can fly round a corner. Woven nests hold their bird until every chick on the board has flown. There are 156 levels across six skies, from a sunny meadow to starlit rooftops, on boards from 5x5 to 9x9. Every level is checked by a solver, so each one can be cleared. Keep all your hearts for three stars. When you are stuck, Hint makes a bird that can fly glow, and Undo takes back a flight or a bump. A short tutorial shows the rules, and progress saves on your device.

How to play

Tap or click a bird to make it fly the way it faces. It leaves the board if its path is clear; if another bird is in the way it bumps and you lose a heart. Three bumps restart the level. Gust tiles turn a bird a quarter turn as it passes. A bird in a nest waits until every chick has flown. Hint shows a bird that can fly, Undo takes back a move (3 per level). Keyboard: arrow keys move a cursor, Space or Enter taps, H hint, Z undo, R restart, Escape pauses.

Content notes

No violence, no chat, no ads and no purchases. Birds bump gently and fly off the board; nothing is hurt. Sound effects can be muted. A calm motion setting turns off shakes and confetti.
