Paralyzed price

Paralyzed is free to play — there is no purchase price, on Steam or anywhere else we track. We keep watching it, so if it ever stops being free the price history on this page will show when that happened and what it changed to.

About Paralyzed

Paralyzed has over twenty unique levels with a large variety of obstacles and enemies. As you progress through the game the challenge increases, always keeping you on your toes and ensuring satisfaction upon level completion. Beating a level unlocks 1-2 new levels, making sure you never get stuck with only one level left to play.

Level Themes


The game has five different themes, each one with four levels of increasing difficulty.
  • Cube


    To make an enemy cube jump out of your way, all you have to do is match the color and press space, simple right? If you're curious you could also find out what happens if you do that while you're on top of it...
  • Laser


    The lasers are simpler than the cubes, all you have to do is match their color and you'll phase right through them. Be on the alert though, these "simple" obstacles combined with the cubes can be a deadly combination!
  • Fire


    These work like reverse lasers, meaning they're only dangerous when you match their color. It may sound easy but they're not something you should play around with, or you might very well get burnt.
  • Car


    Cars are handled the same way as the cubes but with the caveat that while other obstacles are stationary, these move. In other words you'll need even faster reflexes if you don't want to crash.
  • All


    All is... you guessed it, a combination of everything! These levels are the ultimate test of your skills combining all obstacles, resulting in the hardest levels by far. The fourth and final level of this theme is the FINALE of the game, if you beat that level you will have mastered Paralyzed.

Endless Mode


After beating Car-1 you'll unlock endless mode. In endless mode you'll get a new randomized level every time, keeping the experience fresh. The level will get harder and harder the further you go until you eventually die. Battle against the best players on the leaderboard to see who's the king of Paralyzed!

Practice Mode


If a level is too challenging to finish in one go, you have the practice mode available for training. Put down as many checkpoints as you want to get sense of the whole level, or combine them with the use of self-destruct to practice specific parts. Levels finished in practice mode won't count towards the normal game progress, but hopefully it will help you prepare for the real deal.

Colorblind support


The four main colors have been chosen to be easily distinguishable, no matter if you're colorblind or not. The background colors can be disabled in favor of a plain white background, should the colors be too distracting.

Stats and Settings


We both know what kind of person you are if you're still reading this, and we've got you covered with all the statistics you could want. See which obstacles or colors are the deadliest, track how many times you've died, "jumped", switched color and much, much more. For settings we have the option to bind the colors to whatever you want, including a controller if that's your preference (don't do that though, playing with a controller is very hard). Multiple ways to "jump" is also available in the settings, be sure to experiment to find what suits your playstyle the best. More features are also planned as free updates coming in 2021, so be on the lookout for those!

This is a fun game. My only criticism is that there seems to be functionality for placing flags (presumably as placeholders to pick up from after losing) that doesn't work.

Игра 'Paralyzed' - это короткий, но невероятно атмосферный survival horror, завязанный на полной беспомощности главного героя. Ощущение паралича действительно передано отлично, ты буквально чувствуешь себя уязвимым и беспомощным перед лицом надвигающейся угрозы. Визуально игра выполнена в мрачных тонах, с хорошей работой со светом и тенями, что создает нагнетающую атмосферу. Сюжет довольно прост, но эффективен: ты просыпаешься в незнакомом месте, парализованный, и должен найти способ выжить и понять, что происходит. Звуковое оформление играет огромную роль, каждый скрип и шорох заставляет вздрагивать. Недостатком можно назвать небольшую продолжительность и некоторую предсказуемость, но в целом, это отличный пример инди-хоррора, который цепляет своей атмосферой и заставляет понервничать. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра, особенно тем, кто ищет что-то короткое и intense.
