I'm at the E3 video gaming conference, this week, where I've been asking the staff of our gaming-obsessed sister site, Joystiq, for some of their favorite apps. Managing Editor Justin McElroy told me he's gotten no end of amusement from Office Jerk, a free (ad-supported, though ads can be removed with a 99-cent purchase) download from the App Store. It's more than a little goofy -- the idea is that you have a boring office mate on the screen, and it's your job to playfully annoy him by throwing various objects his way, Paper Toss-style. Part of the game is lining up your various shots and trying to get longer and longer combos (despite the fan that seems bent on blowing your throws off course), and the other part is just laughing at your calmly irate office mate who only throws you a look of disdain, which you can then try Read More

As we move closer to the 10 billionth app sold on the App Store, Apple has updated its all-time top paid and free iPhone and iPad app lists, showing the top 200,000 or so apps on the store, ranked in order of sales and downloads. There aren't a lot of surprises in here -- if you've been following the App Store pretty closely over the first few years of its life, odds are that you'll know about most of these titles. But it is interesting to see them ranked. On the iPhone, Doodle Jump takes the crown as the most popular paid app of all time, with Tap Tap Revenge 3, Pocket God and Angry Birds filling out the top four. In free apps, Facebook and other free utilities are on top, with Backflip Studios' Paper Toss the only game in the top few entries. The iPad lists are interesting, being Read More

Backflip Studios (Paper Toss and Ragdoll Blaster) has done it again and created a amazing free game called Ninjump. This is a survival action game in which you run up against 2 sides of a building, achieving power-ups while dodging and avoiding obstacles. Your goal is to not die and obtain the highest score possible. For those familiar with survival games than you should feel familiar with the concept, if not then I just explained it to you… Ninjump takes a different approach for obtaining power-ups or bonuses. Instead of just coming across them, you have to actually achieve them. What I mean is that there are 3 things that are bent on making you fall to your death, Birds, Squirrels, and other Ninjas. While jumping from one side to another, if you are able to kill or hit 3 of those things in a row then you are given a Read More

Looks like Backflip Studios “ makers of some hugely popular iPhone apps like Paper Toss and Ragdoll Blaster “ have got another iPhone hit on their hands.  “ their latest release “ has apparently racked up some staggering numbers in its first week, including: I ‘ve played both Paper Toss games and Ragdoll Blaster 2 and enjoyed all of them a lot, and I love how Backflip Studios continues to provide updates to the free version of Paper Toss.  I have not tried out Ninjump yet “ and would love to hear your thoughts on it if you have had a chance to give it a go.

Whether or not you remember it or were even aware of it, earlier this summer Sony launched a fairly silly ad campaign starring Marcus, a sassy kid who has had it up to here with games like Paper Toss [Free] for the iPhone. Sony released a few other videos starring Marcus as part of the "Step Your Game Up" campaign, but this was the video that started it all: The basis of the video seems to be that Marcus is outraged that on the App Store you're charged for a "fake version of a real game" despite the fact that Paper Toss, the game shown in the video, always has been and likely always will be free. After the initial surge of Marcus videos, the ad campaign seemed to die off, until this week when Sony released their next video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdPvVCbLY5c Then if you add in Sony's requirements of needing to Read More

Backflip Studios is a true indie success story that we've been following for quite a while now. They've had smash hits on the paid charts with Ragdoll Blaster [$1.99 / Free] and its sequel Ragdoll Blaster 2 [$2.99 / Free] as well as the free charts with both Paper Toss [99¢] and Strike Knight [99¢]. Recently, they've teamed up with fellow indie developers Team Phobic to release Tunnel Shoot [99¢], a fun little tunnel shooter that both is universal and supports the Retina Display of the iPhone 4. NinJump, Backflip's latest fun and free game was released mere moments ago. The game plays a lot like Ninjatown: Trees of Doom [$1.99] in that you're scaling either side of the screens as a ninja like character. Tapping sends your ninja jumping from one side of the screen to the other, swinging his sword around attacking anything in his path. If you attack Read More

Simple Spielideen braucht der App Store! Paper Toss (kostenlos; App Store-Link) ‘flippt’ bereits seit längerer Zeit Papier-Knöllchen in virtuelle Mülleimer. Populär, aber definitiv nicht mein Ding. StarDunk ‘dockt’ an dieses Spielkonzept – und beispielsweise dem von Angry Birds - an. Hier geht es um Weltraum-Basketbälle, die in einen schwebenden Korb zu schnippen sind. Bei Treffern blitzt und funkelt der Bildschirm, während man in den internationalen Leaderboards aufsteigt. Zwar lassen sich die Körbe auch Offline befeuern, richtig Freude machen die Herausforderungen, die euch zwischen verschiedensten Matches hin und her ‘werfen’, jedoch erst Online. Die wilde ‘Ballerei’ greift auf die Achievement vom Ngmoco-Netzwerk “Plus+” zu. Entwickler hinter den Weltraumbällen ist das Studio GodziLAB, das wir bereits aus iBlast Moki kennen. StarDunk ist übersäht mit explosiven Grafik-Effekten und peitschendem Sound, das die kurzweiligen Wurfpartien zu einem empfehlenswerten Zeitvertreib macht. Read More

    I love pubs.  And iPhone app updates.  So an app update that adds a pub, well that’s very good stuff in my book. And that’s what Paper Toss’s latest update has done – it has added a new Pub level to an already superb little iPhone game.  The new level offers exactly the same gameplay as all the others, but it’s backdrop is a pub!  There’s even a dart board in the background. I’ve said this before about Paper Toss, but it continues to be true – it’s great to see a free app continue to provide updates and add levels a year after its initial release. You can find the latest version of Paper Toss – 1.50 – in the App Store now, and it remains a free (ad supported) app. Read More

By Jeff Scott on March 19th, 2010 Strike Knight, a homage to long gone bar games should hit the App Store soon. Here's a first look. At GDC this year we got a chance to take a look at a new game from Backflip Studios, Strike Knight. The game is a recreation of shuffleboard-type bowling you used to find in bars in decades past. The device in the app has a blue knight that never fails to make fun of missed shots. The game offers both single player and multiplayer (pass and play) bowling. Take a look at the video for an idea of what the game looks like and how it plays. Strike Knight will be submitted to the App Store next week, we should see it shortly after that.The game will be released free (ad-supported) much like Backflip Studios very popular Paper Toss. Take a look at some screen Read More

He revealed that a full $1m in that actually came straight from ad sales -- he's made deals with AdMob and other companies to put ads in his popular Paper Toss app, and he uses those ads both for straight revenue, as well as to promote his own games (more on that later in the talk). Farrior offered up a frank and honest look at what it was like to run an iPhone app company for a year. First, he talked about what Backflip did right last year. He said that he'd hired a talented team to work on his applications, and that the company had focused on distribution, which they'd "leveraged heavily" -- the more people playing their games, the better. They'd kept production cycles short, kicking out apps in no more than 12 weeks, and he said they'd made the good decision to "design for the medium" and the Read More

We promised you we’d be recapping the VERY BEST of iPhone gaming 2009. We know it’s recession and all so let’s start on the most FABULOUS free apps of the past year. Please note that ALL of these games are still FREE! Regardless of what others lead you to believe, Tapulous and still got it.

The Iconfactory was launched back in 1996 as a repository for icon packs as well as software for creating and using icons. Since then, they've been responsible for the creation of two great iPhone apps, Frenzic [$2.99], a fast-paced puzzle game and Twitteriffic [$3.99 / Free], one of the original premium Twitter clients available on the App Store. Their latest game, Ramp Champ [App Store] takes the arcade game of skee ball, shrinks it down to the iPhone screen, and applies the same thick layer of highly stylized graphical work seen in all the other Iconfactory products. Included in the initial release of Ramp Champ are four different virtual skee ball machines. Clown Town has a carnival theme, Breakwater Bay is underwater, Space Swarm tips its hat at Space Invaders, and The Icon Garden pays homage to Iconfactory's roots in icon design. Controls are simple and shares the same strangely compelling Read More

Backflip Studios has made a sequel to their super popular free title Paper Toss. Now get out of the office and test your paper tossing skills on a World Stage. It turns out that you have been fired because you were tossing paper during work (Duh!). Now you have plenty of time, so get your metal trash bin, and travel the world. There are eight new levels set in various continents across the globe. You get to play in Japanese Gardens, by the pyramids in Egypt, the alleys in the Netherlands, the Amazon rain forest, a beach in Indonesia, in front of the Taj Mahal, a snowy square in Russia, and a ballpark in the USA. Each level is unlocked by making three tosses in a row. All eight locations have a unique soundtrack playing in the background. Every level increases in difficulty with the bin further and further away from Read More

Paper Toss “ one of the best free games I ‘ve seen for the iPhone, which we covered in a Free Reign post a couple months ago “ has had a recent update, and added a new level. The new Airport level seems to be pretty much the same difficulty as the Easy level of the game, and offers an airport terminal waiting lounge as its backdrop “ with some new background noise to fit the new scene. That ‘s about it for additions in this updated version “ but I ‘m not complaining, as the app is already a very strong one and a little free extra level thrown in never hurt anybody. You can find this latest version of Paper Toss in the App Store now, and it ‘s still free.  If you need even more Paper Tossing action, with lots more levels and round the world type scenery, Read More

Il y a parfois des jeux tout simples mais bien réalisés, qui ont un succès immédiat sur l'AppStore. Ca a été le cas de Paper Toss. Ce jeu gratuit disponible ici sur l'AppStore, consiste à lancer des boules de papier dans une corbeille, tout en tenant compte du vent latéral produit par un ventilateur. Ambiance glande au bureau garantie. Fort de ce succès, les développeurs de Paper Toss ont donc proposé une version améliorée de leur jeu, intitulée Paper Toss World Tour, sortie il y a quelques jours sur l'AppStore. Le principe est conservé, mais la corbeille se balade désormais dans 8 ambiances variées dans le monde entier : graphisme et musiques dépaysantes figurent au programme. Voici quelques images de ce jeu iPhone / iPod Touch, cliquer pour agrandir : Le jeu Paper Toss World Tour, n'et pas gratuit pour sa part, il est vendu ici sur l'AppStore au prix de 0,79 euros, Read More

10 Aug 2009 alle 11:00 Voto Utenti: [ratings] , il simpatico passatempo gratuito per iPhone e iPod Touch disponibile in AppStore che dispone di una grafica davvero ben fatta e nel quale dovrete lanciare palline di carta in un cestino per fare centro, è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.2. Di seguito trovate il changelog ufficiale dell’applicazione: Paper Toss è compatibile con iPhone e iPod Touch, richiede il firmware 2.2 o successivo ed è localizzato in inglese.

6 Aug 2009 alle 08:30 Voto Utenti: [ratings] Come vi avevamo anticipato qualche giorno fa, Backflip Studios ha rilasciato nell’AppStore. Si tratta della versione a pagamento dell’omonimo passatempo gratuito, disponibile già da tempo nel negozio di applicazioni, nel quale il nostro scopo consiste nel lanciare una pallina di carta in un cestino. Questa nuova versione del gioco, però, introduce numerose novità che trovate di seguito: Prima di acquistare Paper Toss: World Tour vi consigliamo di provare Paper Toss [Link iTunes] ovvero la versione gratuita del gioco ambientata in ufficio di cui trovate una recensione completa cliccando qui. Di seguito, invece, è disponibile il video che mostra il gioco in azione. Paper Toss: World Tour è compatibile con iPhone e iPod Touch, richiede il firmware 2.2 o successivi ed è localizzato in Inglese. Ottimo passatempo, consigliato a tutti. Read More

Backflip Studios' Paper Toss World Tour [App Store] finally got approved and is now available for download. Utilizing the same strangely appealing gameplay element of the free Paper Toss [App Store], World Tour takes the show on the road across 8 exotic locales. Gameplay is basic and simply involves flicking a wad of paper in to a trash can, correcting for the constantly changing wind, and seeing how many shots you can get in a row. There's not much to it, but similar to Doodle Jump [App Store], it's just one of those extremely simple games that you can find yourself spending a ridiculous amount of time playing. There's not much different in gameplay between the free version of Paper Toss and World Tour. You get more levels, some new music, outdoor wind and weather effects (outside the pyramids you are throwing paper in a sand storm) and some new sounds Read More

Backflip Studios has decided to take their highly addictive paper tossing game out of the office and across the world with Paper Toss: World Tour. The original Paper Toss has been uber-successful and Backflip Studios has the stats to prove it.  Paper Toss has now been downloaded over 6,000,000 times during its two months of availability and because of this, Backflip Studios has decided to kick it up a notch with a brand new version. Paper Toss: World Tour has you grabbing your trash bin and traveling the world.  It features eight new levels, new sounds and animations, varying levels of difficulty, and a global online scoreboard.  Of course Paper Toss: World Tour still features the same solid Paper Toss gameplay along with the same flick controls, but because of the outdoor environments you will have to deal with real wind, not just a silly fan. Paper Toss: World Tour is Read More

Backflip Studios' Paper Toss [App Store] has even surprised the developers with its own popularity. Since the game's release, it has been hovering around the top-end of the top 100 downloaded free games with over 6 million total downloads. Offering a fun and extremely simple gameplay element that anyone who has ever worked in an office knows all too well, Paper Toss has you literally tossing paper in to a garbage can. It's not that easy though, in this virtual office your coworkers are constantly changing the location and speed of a small fan, so you have wind to deal with while you attempt to make your shots in to the nearby trash can. Paper Toss is a fantastic free game. Backflip Studios has additional plans for the Paper Toss franchise, and just today released a video for the upcoming Paper Toss: World Tour where you will be able to take Read More

Paper Toss is a fun and addicting game that brings the thrill of throwing crumbled paper into a garbage can to your iPhone & iPod Touch. The app is simple, yet refined to allow for hours of competition between you and the global scoreboard. The app opens with a nicely presented office cubicle scene. Your high scores are listed for each difficulty level and there is also an option to turn sound on or off. Your difficulty choices are easy, medium or hard. Easy will start you off tossing from a close distance to the garbage can, while hard will force you to throw from much further away. Each level shows a difference part of the office. These scenes are nicely done, with plenty of detail such as computer monitors, desks, chairs and water coolers. The sound is great, with plenty of ambient noise such as copy machines and telephone rings. Read More

Often times I can’t resist the free app. You know, as long as the concept is intriguing, the graphics look half decent, and reviews are solid… I’ll almost give them a whirl. One of my favorite freebies for the iPhone lately is ‘Paper Toss’ from the folks at Backflip Studios. The object of the game is simple. Toss a ball of paper into the trash can as many times in-a-row as you can. You throw the paper by simply swiping your finger up in the direction you wish to throw it. Things get complicated just a touch by an office fan that provides wind changes to make things difficult. There are 3 levels of difficulty and an online scoreboard to help you gauge your skill. At the moment my high score on ‘Easy’ is 78. Not bad… I know I could beat that tally, but I really don’t want to sit Read More

06.16.09        App Score: 9/10    Paper Toss – I suppose I shouldn’t admit it in public, but I would pay for Blackflip Studios’ free Paper Toss, unlike the developer’s Ragdoll Blaster – A Physics Puzzler which I thought was only so-so for $1.99. Paper Toss is sleepy simple as a concept but it’s a narcotic in real life. All you have to do is toss, using a finger swipe, a balled-up piece of paper into wastepaper basket . We’ve all taken a jump shot at the basket at work; when they go in from 20-ish feet, we think Kobe Bryant-like warm and fuzzy  thoughts. It’s not hard and it’s fun. But Paper Toss has what I call the “Potato Chip Syndrome” or PCS. You eat one, and you have to eat the whole bag. Same thing here: You miss a basket, you have to keep trying, and trying. Read More

Paper Toss es un sencilo juego en el que tenemos que encestar la bola de papel en la papelera de la oficina.

10 Jun 2009 alle 23:10 Voto Utenti: [ratings] Spesso in ufficio capita di trovarsi in situazioni piuttosto monotone ed uno dei passatempi preferiti degli impiegati consiste nel lanciare palline di carta nella direzione del primo cestino utile con l’intento di fare centro!

Questo simpatico giochino dalla grafica davvero ben fatta, vi permetterà di lanciare palline di carta in un cestino posto esattamente di fronte a voi: l’esito del vostro lancio, però, sarà influenzato da un ventilatore che, di tanto in tanto, cambierà posizione e velocità. La palla, infatti, subirà la potenza del vento e, inevitabilmente, tenderà a cambiare la propria traiettoria! Per effettuare un lancio dovrete semplicemente far scorrere il dito sullo schermo dell’iPhone/iPod Touch, partendo dalla pallina e spostandovi nella direzione Read More
