Paradroid Screen Shots

Pics are worth a thousand words, so putting some screen shots of Paradroid in.


































Splash Screen
This is where you start the game (although I think it may put you on a random deck each time. It's that or it randomises the deck colour). You are the white robot - 001, and the black ones are the baddies.
This is the screen you get when you try and take over other robot. The goal is to get more bricks in the centre column your colour than your opponent.
You do this by scrolling up and down the wires with "beads" that you fire down the wires to turn the brick your colour. I kind of think of it as an electrical circuit that current goes down. Branches are good (2 bricks for 1 bead), inverted branches and dead ends are bad.
You get to choose which side you are on, left (beige) or right (purple), so hopefully you can get a better deal.
Higher robots e.g. 476 get more beads than lower ones, so if you try and jump too many steps up the tech tree you are at a disadvantage.

Anyways Timer runs out - whoever has the most bricks their colour wins. Deadlocks result in a rematch. If you loose and are hosting another robot (e.g. 302) you go back to 001. If you are 001 you get burnout and die - Game Over! You only have one life.
This is after you have successfully taken over another robot.
This is the ship console. They are usually a few of them on each ship deck, and they all do the same thing - basically they are a map.
Console main menu. There are 4 options:
  • Exit Menu
  • Robot Info
  • Deck Plan
  • Deck Section


This is the deck plan. The only thing it really shows you is where the consoles and lifts are.
This the ship section. It shows which level you are on on the ship.
