I liked the game, but as it progressed the lag just got worse and worse, until it was extremely unplayable at almost 1 frame per second. The choppiness was giving me a headache. The method to fix the lag described by "kakapants" below did not work for me (I have windows 7, Flash v. 11.5.32.2)
Reviews for "Dead Paradise"
The game is good but there is a lot of lag and the navigator huge presence on the screen makes it very annoyng.
Besides the whole lag thing, my question is if there was a Technological catastrophe....how the hell did everyone get 50 Cal customized weaponary, lock on missles, and full body armored vechicals by the dozen?!
So... is there any real reason not to pick up the hot, green-eyed redhead in the beginning?
Aside from that burning question, lag was the slightest of factors for me - and I live out in the boondocks, so I think it has nothing to do with load time, and a lot to do with what kind of computer is being run. Even that aside, I think that the code could be cleaned up a bit, to release some overused memory.
Earnestly, I think that the game could use a little something extra - not anything that neccessarily affects the game, but something that adds to appeal - like a side-quest or a mini-game.
I've never known a game with a "help" that was as obscure and unreasonable to find as that in this game.
You would think "help" should be easy to find, and ideally on the title screen. Nope. Perhaps it's on the between-levels screens? Nope.
It's actually the last medal I got because it's maximum counter-intuitive to find. You have to be in the middle of a stage, click the Pause icon, then and only then is there a ? icon you can click to get the "help".
