Doodle Drift
A doodled paper airplane drifts across a page of ruled notebook paper while erasers and pencils sail in from the right. Tap or press space to flap, thread the gap between each pair, and snap up the gold sticker floating in the middle. Stickers are the only score, so grab glide, shield, and magnet power-ups, pick your difficulty, and unlock four plane skins as your best climbs.
How to play
You are a doodled paper airplane drifting across a page of ruled notebook paper, and the stationery has taken flight. Erasers and pencils sail in from the right in pairs, one high and one low, with a gap between them. Tap the play area or press space to flap, which is the only control you get. Gravity pulls you down the rest of the time, so you climb in little hops and glide back toward the line.
A gold sticker floats in the middle of every gap, and stickers are your entire score. Slipping past a pencil safely earns you nothing on its own, so aim for the sticker, not just the opening.
What flies at you
Power-ups
Roughly one pair in six trails a coloured bubble behind it. Fly into it and you get about seven seconds of that power, counted down in the banner under the score. You can only hold one at a time: grabbing a new bubble replaces whatever you were running.
A bubble arrives at its own height, unrelated to the gap it follows, so collecting one usually means deliberately leaving the safe line to go and get it. That choice is the real cost of a power-up.
Pick your difficulty
Chosen on the menu before you launch. It sets four things at once: how fast the page scrolls, how hard gravity pulls, how wide the gap between each pair is, and how often pairs arrive. That last one is the easiest to miss and it bites hardest: Chaos sends pairs at you half again as often as Gentle, on top of the narrower gaps.
Unlock the planes
Four skins, unlocked by your best sticker count rather than the current run, and swapped on the menu. They are pure decoration: every plane flies exactly the same.
Tips
- Flap in small taps rather than long bursts. One flap is a fixed hop, so two in quick succession sends you far higher than you meant to go.
- Aim for the sticker and the gap mostly takes care of itself: it always spawns dead centre of the gap. On a mismatched pair the eraser eats a little more of its side, so the sticker sits a hair off the true middle of the opening.
- A pencil pair is the widest opening you can be dealt and an eraser pair the tightest. On a mixed pair, favour the pencil half: it gives back about ten pixels the eraser takes away.
- Glide is the power-up to hope for on Chaos: the slow sink buys you time to read a gap that is still moving.
- The run speeds up with every sticker you take, so the last stretch of a good run is always the hardest part of it.
The menu also carries a sound toggle, which mutes both the chiptune loop and the effects for the whole session.
No account and nothing to save: your best score, your unlocked skins and your chosen difficulty last for the session and reset when you reload the page.
