I got 2278 (and a picture to prove it), and that took me all of an english poetry analysis. Post your scores! (but be prepared to waste an afternoon)

Argh. Hate those games. Suck at them. Nooooo damn you creeps.

2835. I beat it. I had one life left.

I've got 80. Yawn.

Yawn. I'd have to agree with that, it's not my cup of tea. But I guess I suck at it.

Maybe it's fun if you're actually any good...

I got 2297.

This tower defence was a little wierd. Instead of building towers in key locations and then upgrading them, you just make a maze, a huge, freaken, maze. It's like the old starcraft matrix defence games, reminds me of... making a huge freaking maze.


It feels like your bitching the hell out of the computer for like 26 levels straight and then at the very end it's like... shit.

It's a nice mental challenge

It's very tantalizing when you can see the 50th level on the bottom of the game, and then you lose... *drools*

Mentally challenging, where? It's like... "Hmm, okay, let's place this one right here for better defence. 'k. Like that. Time to wait. Yay, waiting game. Waiting. and doing stuff. Building some more. Wasting time."
Got around 100 points somewhere, and then I quit. Or lost. Whichever you prefer. It's more like a brainless office-game, imho. Just like the mini-game "bridges", which is awesome and fun. =)

Bah. That's right; there's nothing more to it than building a ginormous maze of pellet cannons as soon as possible (which, even on Hard mode, should be within maybe 8 rounds), and then slowly phasing out the pellet cannons for squirt towers and, at key locations, dart towers or bash towers. A single swarm tower in the center pretty much owns entire squadrons of fliers no sweat...

This will cause you to lose later in the game. Use squirt cannons as soon as you can, and slowly build up a maze as you get more money, upgrading cannons if you feel like it. Freeze cannons are also extremely useful. For the main walls, just use a few pellet cannons interspersed with squirt cannons until you get more money.

You can't remove towers, ie: use squirts!

BWS, Ultimatum said build pellet and then replace with squirt towers, yes, you can sell towers.


Is upgrading cannons usefull? I'm serious because I can't tell if I should double the attack power or just get two.

Upgrading is essential to win. I just go with squirts pretty much the whole time, pellets actually pwn if you upgrade like six times though.

How? Whenever you click sell it just turns into a wall.

Whenever you click sell it disapears.


Does anybody else get a wall when they sell something?

Oh, it was the progress bar for deletion, I was building at the start of game paused-but-still-lets-you-build screen.

I restarted the game because I didn't want a "Wall" so I didn't see it was a progress bar.
