About Dead Paradise
Dead Paradise is a road-warrior style game set after the end of the world. You drive across a ruined landscape, shoot down enemies with missiles and try to make it to the finish line in one piece. Each completed level pays out coins.
That money is where the strategy comes in. You can strengthen your armor, engine, fuel tank and missiles, or save up for an entirely different vehicle. Missions and daily tasks offer extra rewards on top of normal levels, so it pays to think about which upgrade will help most next. Nitro and an adjustable firing angle give you a few extra tricks in tight spots.
How to play Dead Paradise
- Up arrow - accelerate
- Down arrow - slow down
- X - launch missiles, Z - adjust firing direction
- Space - nitro
Playing Dead Paradise on a computer
Get past Play now, the publisher's PLAY screen and any short ad to reach the road. Up accelerates and down slows you. X launches missiles, Z adjusts the firing direction and Space fires nitro. Set the direction with Z before an enemy comes into range so your missiles are ready to fly. Coins from each level pay for armor, engine and fuel upgrades.
Playing Dead Paradise on a phone or tablet
Dead Paradise juggles driving, missile fire, aiming and nitro on four separate keys, so it is built for a keyboard. It is not marked for mobile, and touch controls are not listed. Drive the wasteland on a computer or Chromebook; for phone sessions, games labeled "Desktop and mobile" are a safer choice.
On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Drift Boss and Time Shooter 3: SWAT - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Upgrade armor early so you can survive longer levels.
- Use Z to change your firing direction before you launch missiles.
- Do the side missions and daily tasks whenever you need more coins.
