Paper Toss Friends, #1 iPhone App Paper Toss Goes Social (Video)

Paper Toss Friends takes the original #1 Paper Toss iPhone game and turns it way social with Facebook, Twitter, Apple Game Center and anytime-online quick play. Backflip Studios, creators of this original “time waster” iPhone game, has brilliantly created a new social version that now allows for online turn-based gameplay. The cool part is you can dial up a game anytime you want in Facebook or Apple Game Center and if you cant’ find game there, you can create an “unmatched” game that is matched with the next person looking for online Paper Toss gameplay. One disclaimer: I have a large amount of Facebook friends, which took a long time to load and then I could not find anyone playing, which was a bummer.

I’m not sure if it was the Facebook integration with the app or if it was just that my Facebook friends are all lame? The Apple Game Center was much smoother, and while there is not currently Match gameplay, you can challenge or start round #1 with any of your Apple Game Center friends who have this app and are playing it. You can supposedly also invite Twitter and contacts through email, but this is too much work for me. The gameplay was a blast to play — literally. You get a slot machine type selection process for your throwing item, as well as location, which allows you to select from 3 different choices of each. I played with hand grenades (my personal favorite), a super bouncy ball, bananas, paper (duh), watermelons and other odd items that are not always easy to throw into the iconic orange trash can.

There are also a large number of Paper Toss environments to select from for each round (3), with places to play like the Bosses Office (Medium, Easy, Hard difficulties), Intern, Cubicle, and other locations that allow you to make the game easy or hard — your choice. The player who wins 3 rounds first is the winner of the game. There are ads, but they are only for Backflip Studio games and they appear in between rounds and games. The only in app purchase I could find was to remove ads, but I would not buy this because the ads are not that bad.
