Paper Cut

Paper Cut is a short roguelite auto-shooter by maledetta, made in Godot for a game jam. Everything in its colourful 3D world is made of paper and stationery, and your pen does the shooting for you. You walk the map and reclaim ten zones; each zone you clear gives you a perk, and the monsters in the next zone get tougher.

Your character fires automatically, so your job is positioning: move around the map, keep enemies at a distance and let the pen do the damage. The developer doesn't list specific key bindings – the controls are shown when the game starts. Play is single-player in third person.

The run is split into ten zones. Clearing one rewards a perk that makes you stronger, but difficulty climbs zone by zone, so your choices of perks shape how far you get.

Keep moving – in an auto-shooter, standing still is how you get surrounded. Circle around groups so they bunch up behind you while your pen hits them. Pick perks that help with survival early, because the later zones scale up. It's a short game, so a few runs let you try different perk combinations.
