# Paratrooper Help

Paratrooper is an action game that takes full advantage of the Palm® webOS platform. Guide your Paratroopers in for a safe landing and compete with your friends for the high score.

## How to Play

Paratrooper is easy to learn, and requires some practice to master the higher levels.

To drop a paratrooper, click on the plane.

The trooper will jump out of the plane and begin to fall. On lower levels, his chute will deploy automatically. Beginning at the 5th level (named Ripcord) you'll need to click again on the Paratrooper to pull the ripcord and deploy the chute.

Once the trooper is safely falling through the air, you can guide his descent by leaning your device from left to right. This adjusts gravity for all the troopers together and is a great technique for guiding your troopers onto the "X" for a perfect landing.

The more troopers you land near the "X", the more points you will score. Additionally, you can receive bonus points for landing troops near the same time and for picking up power pellets on higher levels. You loose points for loosing troopers.

## How to Win

You win each level either by safely landing enough troops or by earning enough points to pass the round. High scores can be submitted to the Global High Score server to compete against your friends.

## Scoring

In addition to landing near the X, there are several ways to achieve even higher scores in Paratrooper:

- A perfect landing is always worth 100 points.
- Landing multiple troopers in rapid succession gets a 2x bonus
- Deploying your chute very low earns a 50 point bonus
- Bouncing on the trampoline (with no parachute) is worth 100 points
- Certain levels have 25, 50 and 100 point power-up tokens
- On each level you start with 100 points, but you loose one every second. The faster you complete the level, the higher your score
