A driving game where the driving is only half of it. You have an armoured vehicle, a fuel gauge and a weapon, and the wasteland ahead contains both the distance you are trying to cover and the people trying to stop you — so every run is a balance between speed, ammunition and the fuel that runs out regardless of how well you are doing. Upgrades are where the game lives. Money earned from a run buys armour, weapons, engine or tank capacity, and those pull against each other: a heavier gun costs fuel efficiency, more armour costs speed, and a bigger tank means carrying weight you will not need until the end. That makes the garage a genuine planning problem rather than a list of numbers to increase, and it is the reason a run that failed teaches you something about what to buy rather than just what to avoid.

How to play Dead Paradise
- Shoot what is in your way and drive past everything else; ammunition is finite.
- Watch the fuel gauge more than the road — it is what ends most runs.
- Buy tank capacity early, because reach is what makes the later upgrades affordable.
- Keep speed through groups rather than stopping to clear them.
- Spend everything after each run; saving does nothing.
Tips
- Armour is the least useful early purchase, because early enemies do not kill you — the fuel does.
- A run ended deliberately at low fuel banks more than one ended by a wreck.
- Fire in bursts; a dry weapon in a crowd is worse than a slow approach.
