Parachute your troopers to safety with Paratrooper. Lean your device from side to side to adjust your troopers fall, but it’s not quite as easy as it sounds to get a perfect 100 point landing. There are plenty of obstacles and challenges to play through on all 25 levels. Track your personal best scores and compete against your friends with the online global high score system.

How to Play

Paratrooper is easy to learn, and requires some practice to master the higher levels.

To drop a paratrooper, click on the plane.

The trooper will jump out of the plane and begin to fall. On lower levels, his chute will deploy automatically. Beginning at the 5th level (named Ripcord) you’ll need to click again on the Paratrooper to pull the ripcord and deploy the chute.

Once the trooper is safely falling through the air, you can guide his descent
by leaning your device from left to right. This adjusts gravity for all the
troopers together and is a great technique for guiding your troopers onto the
“X” for a perfect landing.

The more troopers you land near the “X”, the more points you will score. Additionally, you can receive bonus points for landing troops near the same time and for picking up power pellets on higher levels. You loose points for loosing troopers.

How to Win

You win each level either by safely landing enough troops or by earning enough points to pass the round. High scores can be submitted to the Global High Score server to compete against your friends.

How do I adjust the volume

As you may know, the Palm SDK does not yet provide complete audio support for developers like us. While the sound effects are fun, we consider them to be just a good start, not the final audio for the game. If you’d like the sounds to play louder, go to the program “Sounds & Ringtones” and adjust the System Sounds volume slider upwards. We’ve found about half way up seems to work pretty well for Paratroopers.

Once we have full audio support, know another free upgrade will be coming.
