Para-Dox Has

  • Steam Achievements

  • 5 boss's to find

  • Automatic Steam Cloud Save

  • Dynamic Difficulty based on how good you are

  • A shop to repair, buy hats and weapons

How Dynamic Difficulty works in Para-Dox is a system where each armor weapon and ship can receive a increase in damage output or stronger defense, which can be seen by a color change in the ship or projectiles, This system checks on how long and your score to determine if the enemy will receive an update.

Dynamic Difficulty is separate from how many ships will be sent after you which is based on a similar but simpler system.

Asteroids in asteroid fields have physics! they block shots from both enemy and player and interact with both.

Future updates to Para-Dox will include more boss's, enemy types, armors, and weapon upgrades for both you and the enemy.

Para-Dox uses no AI assets.
