Default Desktop Tower Defence game

Here's a strategy game that I play occasionally. There's a lil more to it than the helicopter game, but you can learn it quick.

You post towers to shoot the incoming greeblers. Can't impede their flow to the gate, but you can create obstructions that slows them down enough for you to kill them.

Desktop Tower Defense

PS. Start on easy. Upgrade your towers quickly for added power.

I gave it a whirl, got 298, I think that's dismal, what scores are y'all getting?

Some of them creeps seem to ignore the shots.
Can you play it just using your mouse or do you have to use the keyboard too?

Lots to learn

The flying creeps can only be hit with those expensive tower things, get freeze towers to slow some creeps down, upgrade a lot.

On medium I pull in scores around 3500.

Normal pellet towers can shoot flying creeps, as well as aerial defense towers which are made specially for handling aerial threats.

If it seems like they aren't doing any damage, its because you need to upgrade them. Successive lines of creeps are immune to the lower level towers.

If you go to post your score, you can actually get a pictoral diagram of your setup. I'll take a screenshot of mine next time I play. I try to get towers spread across the map that are upgraded to level five as soon as possible.

You can use the "U" key to upgrade, the number keys to select the tower you want to build, and the "S" key to sell a tower.

The more you sell a tower, the longer it takes to accomplish. Some good map setups you wait till they get almost to the end, then back at the beginning you sell a tower which opens up a side-route, and block off the one their on before they get to it so they have to backtrack through the entire maze and they get hit again. It takes timing.

Screwed this one up, only got 2353, but here's my overlay.



The grey Pe towers are Pellet Towers
The blue Fr towers are Frost Towers
The Red Da towers are missle towers
The green Sw towers are anti-aircraft towers.

The number of dots coresponds to the level of upgrade.
