Droid Assault is a scrolling multidirectional shooter developed by Puppy Games and released on May 2, 2008 for Windows, OS X, and Linux. The game received mixed reviews from critics, praising its art style and gameplay but calling its length short.
Droid Assault is based on the 1985 game Paradroid.[1] It takes place in what is implied to be a spaceship where the player controls a basic model of robot. The player must take control of other robots in order to progress, but only if they have enough "transfer points" to hack into them.[1] The old model then turns into an AI follower of the player and automatically targets enemies.[1] The player can then change between any of the droids in their "robot army" at no cost.[1] Ultimately, the player must fight a boss robot.[1]
