Papa Louie 3 — Play Free Online

Papa Louie 3 is a side-scrolling platformer from the Papa Louie series, the cartoon pizzeria-and-burger-shop franchise best known for its cooking games. Here the kitchen is left behind: you run and jump through themed levels, deal with the ice cream monsters in your way, and work toward the end of each stage. It is a different rhythm from a game where you simply climb forever.

If you came to Doodle Jump for quick, bouncy, one-more-try sessions, this is a slower and more deliberate cousin. Instead of one endless ascent you get distinct levels with a start and a finish, so you can stop after a stage and pick up again later.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. The game also uses the mouse to aim and to select things in menus, and on a phone you tap and swipe instead. Press Play above and the game loads in the frame, with nothing to install.

A typical level asks you to travel left to right, hop across gaps and platforms, and avoid or defeat the enemies standing in the way. Read the screen before you commit to a jump, because platformers like this punish blind leaps more than fast reflexes.

Tips

• Take a second at the start of a level to look at the layout before running; most hazards are visible ahead of you.
• Jump from the very edge of a platform when you need distance, and use shorter hops when a landing area is small.
• Do not rush past everything. Items that are slightly off the main path are usually worth a short detour.
• If the mouse aiming feels awkward on a laptop trackpad, a real mouse makes it noticeably easier.
