The mission of our blog has always been to identify the best free flash and casual games on the net. As we have previously discussed, it is getting harder and harder to find high quality free flash games. The quality is just not out there anymore. Several factors are to blame for this drop in quality. The fall in advertising revenues for one and the allure of closed platform game stores, not to mention the unending media war against flash has resulted in high quality developers moving to other platforms.

Traditional big studio casual games have also suffered in quality. Over the last year a vicious price war and the rise of Facebook as a platform has taken the money out of PC/Mac download and play games. Innovation in these games has all but ended, as budgets were slashed in response to the dropping price point. Instead of novel games, a never ending series of sequels and cookie cutter hidden object games flow daily onto the major portals.

In response to the drop in quality in flash and traditional casual games we have started to dig deeper to find high quality games, and have found many that we will review over the next coming weeks. Many of these games are from small independent “indie” studios. These studios differ from the larger commercial game studios and portals, as quality and art are valued in games over profit. Puppy Games is such an indie studio. We recently stumbled upon  their game Droid Assault and are featuring it here today.

Droid Assault is a fast moving action packed game for PC, Mac or Linux. The game brings elements of an arcade shooter with a bit of a strategy mix. You start the game as a single droid dropped into a hostile environment full of enemy droids programmed to destroy you. The object of the game is simple, destroy the enemies and advance through the levels to defeat massive bosses.

The great thing about Droid Assault is it offers more than just kill or be killed. Your droid is also equipped with a “transfer beam”. The beam allows you to take control and reprogram members of the enemy droid army to fight for and protect you. The more enemy droids you kill the more you can use the transfer beam to commandeer new droids with new powers. In order to succeed in the game a balance between the number of droids turned to your side and the number of enemy droids destroyed must be obtained. Kill too many droids and your own army will be small in numbers and weak, kill too few and you will lack the ability to use the transfer beam.

Besides the ability to build your own droid army, Droid Assault contains numerous power ups and a seemingly endless variation of droids. The graphics in the game are first rate, with great attention to detail for an arcade type game. Eye candy abounds from the neon glow of droid weapons and beams to the atmospheric particles of smoke fog and sparks. Many parts of the game environment from crates to computer panels are fully destructible and this adds a great deal to the fun of the game. Be sure to destroy all matter of items as many power ups and even droids are hidden within.

Droid Assault is not the newest game from Puppy Games. As most of our readers have surely overlooked their offerings, we thought we would feature the game we found to be most enjoyable. As this is most likely just a matter of taste we encourage you to also try all their other game titles as well. Free trials are available for all of the studios offerings. In addition to the links below look for Droid Assault and other Puppy games to be posted in the Game Giants World online store shortly.
