dear gawd thats fun! thanks momo!

Hah, haven't seen all of these.

I'm also a fan of TD games. Not sure why either. I particularly enjoy the multiplayer competitive ones. Its cold, calculating, and requires intense focus. Reminds me a lot of chess in an odd way.

I'm totally addicted to this whole tower defense thing now. I keep wanting to beat the different levels over and over and over... I think i like it for the same reasons i like Sudoku and Picross. Oh you may wanna try out Picross. Its like Sudoku, only a little tougher and picture based.

Curse you Mort...lol. If you are wondering why Nev isn't in the game you can picture me sitting at my computer with bloodshot eyes and a white-knuckled grip on my mouse muttering "one more game and I will go to bed... just one more game..."

I was doing that last night. Why did you do this to me Momo?!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

How the heck did I forget one.

Onslaught - onslaught.playr.co.uk/

DAM YOU MORT!!!!!!! I was 5 minutes late to work! Now I just got home and am continuing my tower exploits muhahahaha. I have only played the first one....must continue to play them all!

Bah, I've gotten rusty and didn't even break 40k on the first one =/

Best score is abou 120k, not sure how people manage the 240k scores.

yeah I was wondering that myself, I have tried every imaginable strat there could be lol......I can not break 15k! Still it is fun figuring it out. I love the first link Mort posted, I have hardly tried the others yet.

Ok, basic strat on the first one:

1 Cannon with One upgrade to start.

Upgrade once and add another and upgrade on each level till the first flying level.

Then use 1st wood for fire, and sell your 2 cannons.

Build One fire in the center area, and upgrade once. Upgrade on future levels slowly as needed.

Let the boss go thru once and kill 2nd time, don't waste money adding more to beat it, Lifes are cheap.

Then upgrade and add more fire only as needed. Stack them in the center area mostly, only a few around the edges. You can overlap them if you are careful placing them.

Use further wood for bank only.

Spend as little as possible to complete each wave, the compounding interest with the highest possible bank ballance is the key.

Interest is the key for a high score. The challenge of that game is to spend the exact right amount to win the level and leave the rest for interest. Also, if you sell a tower before the last mob in the wave drops, that money counts for interest. So if you plan to sell a arrow tower and put up a fire tower, sell the arrow before the wave ends and build the fire after the next wave starts. I think there is also bonus to score for only using basic towers.

Tower placement is key also. There are a couple sweet spots. The range of the tower needs to overlap 2 areas of the mob track, but both areas need to be separated so it is not still shooting the tail end mobs as the first reenter its kill zone. For instance the top right corner area. That corner can hit mobs near mid track, then mobs have to make it almost off the screen before it hits them again. That maximizes the towers fire power for 2 full passes on the mobs. There are some other sweet spots, but you can find those.

I find using the slow towers (water) is awesome, but I never seem to break 15k I will try that.....I still think that there is no way to reach those ridiculous scores I see. I found a couple spots I like using, the one you listed is one and the center I think like Yim said is key. Either way, dange what a fun little game lol.

wow that worked well used nothing but fire towers and scored 56k. The two pass strat works very well.

What level are yall able to get to on onslaught (the last link Momo posted)? I got to level 459 before the mobs were so stinking powerful they needed to be nuked 10 times before dying. My score was 1,881,138,630.

I haven't played that one much since the last update on it. The guy is still developing it. Use to, the mob HPs outpaced your DPS at level 128 for any strat except MASSIVE laser chains. I played it a couple times since he revamped the HP curve but mostly was checking out combos, haven't tried to go far.

geez that is a high score, I tried that one out once, did not like it as much as the first one. The wizard one was kinda cool looking.

I hate you Momo!!

Onslaught TD: Wave 1767 then got bored and quit.

REALLY addicting one that I just found...

Awesome once ya get the hang of it.
