Description Paradoxion Express is a logic puzzle game. It's all about solving puzzles by assembling cool chain reactions!

Paradoxion Express is a flash remake of our older game - Paradoxion which is downloadable, coded with C++/DirectX.

I was the author of the original gameplay concept, done some programming and designed the UI.

I also coded Paradoxion Express, with good portion of code conveniently ported from the C++ original. (Please see Credits screen in-game to find the whole list of people took part in development).

Paradoxion Express was done in 1 month (pretty big time for a remake, but it was my first Flash project, so I had to code and learn Actionscript 3 at the same time). I've used FlashDevelop (www.flashdevelop.org) IDE to code the game, it's great program and it's totally free, so actually there were no need to spend any money on flash development.

Enjoy the game!

P.S. Feel free to download SWF file and add it to your site/blog, just please keep it unmodified.

EDIT: updated to newest version - achievements added + several small fixes.

Pretty hard at first, but it's easy once you get it down, 1 shot win on lvl 40...took meΒ about 5Β minutes to wrap my brain around it...

Yay!!logic puzzle game^^
This is a nice one. Congrats, it seems difficult to come out with so much levels!
BTW, you should put a "relief" sound or "congrats" sound when the level is complete, it makes people happy and more confident to keep going

I don't understand why, on level sixteen, I can get a setup like this:

|b|b|_|b|g|g|_|b|_|b|b|

but when I put another green here:

.....................V
|b|b|_|b|g|g|g|b|_|b|b|

it ends up like this:

|b|b|b|_|_|_|_|b|_|b|b|

and then this:

|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|b|_|b|b|

Specifically, I don't get why the explosions of the greens doesn't make the third blue from the right move to the right.

vadersb In reply to VaguelyCreepy [2010-12-17 13:48:33 +0000 UTC]

I got it. The problem is that we didn't covered it in detail in tips, and we get some reports on such confusion. The point is that which neighbor orbs will be pushed depends on position of the orb that ignites the blast.

Examples:

bb.bggGb.bb - only left blue orb will be moved.

bb.bGggb.bb - only right blue orb will be moved.

bb.bgGgb.bb - both left and right blue orbs will be moved.

VaguelyCreepy In reply to vadersb [2010-12-17 23:50:25 +0000 UTC]

I see. You really should rewrite the rules to include that info. Also, it seems kind of counter-intuitive; when something explodes, you expect everthing nearby to get pushed back, regardless of where the explosion starts.

Just don't tell me that some levels are unsolvable, mate! They all were tested carefully. I get pretty many feedback that 40th level is unsolvable, for example. It is not true

I love this game. It's a very thought-provoking mind game, and the amount of levels is massive for even a flash game, yet it is a very simple concept, despite the difficulty.

llogg [2009-11-16 04:30:09 +0000 UTC]

level 40, the chrome spheres don't budge with blue sphere explosion. What gives?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

vadersb In reply to llogg [2009-11-18 20:31:25 +0000 UTC]

the shifting depends on where you place the final orb that ignites the blast. For example if you have 2 blue orbs arranged in horizontal line and place another blue orb to the RIGHT of them - this blast can push only some element that is located to the LEFT of the blue orbs line (and vice versa). If you place blue orb BETWEEN other blue orbs so they all form a line - this kind of blast can push up to 2 neighbor elements on both sides of the line.

As I recall, you need to push blue orbs around a bit, before making the blast that WILL shift silver orbs.

btw : Level 53 - don't you have a down-arrow too many? Every other level works out perfectly - great puzzle game

As of Level 53, well, if you manage to solve it without using something from inventory - congratulations, you've outsmarted our level designer!

There is a mute option - there are two little buttons in the top left of the game. One mutes the music and the other mutes the sound effects.

decoratenow [2009-11-14 12:44:20 +0000 UTC]

I really like the game. But it needs a mute option, because if I need to pause the game in between levels, then I can't hear other programs as the music plays continuously.

Great game.

I agree, very well done. Nice/Slick GUI, nice and smooth. Good job!

Only thing I don't like is the price structure. The author sells it for $15 yet you can buy it for $10 on other sites. Not cool. Shop around!
