Fold paper planes, throw them into the gust

Every tap on the sheet is a fold, and four folds make a paper plane that waits on a little runway beside it. Tap the runway to throw the front plane: thrown in a gust, it flies long and pays three times as much. A fleet fills the air above the desk plane by plane, while classmates, a rubber-band launcher, a desk fan and a folding machine fold and throw planes of their own.

Fold Factory

Fold Factory is a classroom with sun on an old beech desk, a window onto the school yard and a cork board. Tap the sheet of paper on the desk to fold it, and every fold pays planes, the game's own currency. Four folds make a paper plane, which goes onto a runway taped down beside the sheet, with room for three. Fold at a good pace and the streak on the ruler fills, multiplying everything a tap pays up to three times at first; rushed folds crumple the plane instead.

The twist is the throw. Tap the runway and its front plane flies across the room, paying six folds' worth. Every few seconds a gust blows: the wind sock by the runway stands out, GUST! shows, the air streaks and the runway glows gold. A plane thrown then flies long and pays three times as much. Waiting costs nothing, so keep folding in the breeze and throw when it blows. A full runway pushes its front plane off when the next one is done, and a crumpled plane flies short.

Every plane joins the fleet in the air above the desk. A full fleet pays a bonus and flies off, every fourth fleet brings a new paper that adds 8% to every fold, and things go up on the cork board. The Upgrades tab sells bigger folds, such as Crisp Paper, and better flights, such as Longer Wings and Glider Wings. The Crew tab brings Classmates, a rubber-band Launcher, a Desk Fan and a Folding Machine. Now and then a golden plane drifts by: tap it for a Tailwind! or a heap of planes. The crew keeps folding for up to two hours while you are away. Once a run is worth 10 Gold Stars, New Term starts it all again: upgrades, the crew and the fleet start over, and every star adds 25% to all your planes, forever.

Tips for Fold Factory

Early on your taps are the whole income: folds on the sheet and throws from the runway. Fold at a steady pace and watch the wind sock. While it hangs limp, let the planes wait on the runway; when it stands out and GUST! shows, tap the runway until it is empty. Throws are never rushed, so one thumb folding and the other throwing works well, but two thumbs on the sheet crumple planes. Space and Enter throw whenever a plane is ready, so the keys cannot keep planes back for a gust; a finger or the mouse can.

Sharper Creases is the first thing to buy and a Classmate soon after. Crisp Paper doubles every fold, and later Origami Paper, from Fleet 18, triples it. The flight rows pay most if you throw into gusts: Longer Wings adds 20% a level, Open Window, from Fleet 4, makes each gust last a little longer, Paper Clip Nose sends every eighth plane two or three times as far, and Glider Wings, from Fleet 35, lifts long flights to x4 and then x5. Longer Ruler raises the top of the streak. Tap the golden plane whenever it drifts by. A New Term needs at least 10 Gold Stars; a good moment is when it would at least double the stars you hold.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fold Factory free to play?

Yes. Fold Factory is free to play in your browser on Kiloo, with nothing to download and no account to make. Every upgrade and crew member is bought with planes you earn in the game. Your progress is saved in the browser on this device, so it does not follow you to another one.

Can I play Fold Factory on my phone?

Yes, upright or sideways. Tap the sheet to fold and the runway on its right to throw, and tap a row in the panel to buy it; a thumb on each works well. On a computer, click with the mouse, or press Space or Enter, which throws a ready plane and folds otherwise, 1, 2 and 3 for the tabs, P to pause and M to mute.

How do the gusts work in Fold Factory?

About every three seconds the wind blows a gust for a second or so: the sock by the runway stands out, GUST! shows and the runway glows gold. A plane thrown then flies long and pays three times a plain flight, more with Glider Wings. A plane pushed off a full runway, or a crumpled one, never catches the gust.

What is a New Term in Fold Factory?

It is the fresh start. Once your run is worth at least 10 Gold Stars, the New Term tab lets you start again on exercise paper: upgrades, the crew and the fleet start over, and every Gold Star adds 25% to all your planes for good. Your biggest fleet and the number of terms are kept.
