New Tower Defense Flash Game

[Cynno]

Ok, I know in the past a few tower defense games have been posted here, so I'm hoping everyone isn't sick of them. I found this new one that I think is the best one yet.

Let's see those strategies.

Cynno, what's your best score on challenging?

[Cynno]

Dude, I must seriously suck at this game because I'm still trying to beat the damn thing on normal. Made the huge maze, with like 15 sniper towers and always lose on level 49, those flying levels make me wanna kill people.

I'll try some challenging and see what I can do.

[Kasi]

Dang this one should be fun. Lots more strategies than the last one.

[Tuco]

The only reason the first one had strats to it was because we kept finding new exploits, heh.

[Ionsniper]

What kind of exploits Tuco?

[HiroYagyu]

some weapons wouldnt have a speed check if creeps were coming at it straight on, or being able to stack multiple towers on the same point etc etc

I can't even beat this game on EASY. Late in the game everything is stacked close to one another and my towers can't focus on the proper targets, then aerial units come and I'm FUBAR.

Use fewer towers, I beat easy with 10 towers and no tower past the midpoint of the playfield.

Hint - place cheap 5gold towers to make them go where you want and only upgrade the ones that you need to even late in the game I had 10 towers, and only 7 were upgraded past lvl 1.

Borzak,

I'd love to see a SS or something detailing your 10 tower win. Startegy wise, I build my maze with 5 gold towers, and only upgrade the middle ones to sniper towers. This startegy does not allow you to beat the game, but i have seen the level 50 boss creep on my screen.

EDIT

NM, seems the game has been updated since earlier today, you can now send multiple waves on easy mode, much less time consuming to beat easy now. Alos seems easy is easier to beat, or I just have better strategies now than earlier today.

New edit, well, wierd, i guess it was a bug where i could send multiple waves on easy, I'm gonna try to reproduce it ebcause not being able to send waves is retarded.

[Borzak]

On easy mode since they come from left to right I just made a row of towers above and below and put one on the end to make them go around. Only upgraded the towers near the middle of the screen so that you could concentrate fire on the flying ones.

I did it a second time and used about approx 30 towers. I upgraded only around 7-8 but used a lot of the 5gold towers to make my maze. This wound up much easier than the first win.

Borzak,

Just figured out an exploit I think, hell, maybe everyone else already knew this but me.

Because the pathfinding shit is running 24/7 you can keep the creeps going back and forth by placing/selling a tower over and over.

I won on normal with like 8 lives left or somethin, score of 5100. The key is to force both top and left mobs to the upper left corner so they get routed down the same maze path, then begin the 5 gold tower maze from there. I think with a bit of tinkering I could use this strat to win on hard, but its too much time so I'm not gonna bother.

[Hathe]

Thanks Dabamf, I've been close to defeating challenging, but I couldn't figure out a good strategy until now. I'll try to group them together using my current maze.

i made a picture describing the most efficient way to make your maze.

Ive done tons of TD's in WC, and for anyone whos played as Red in any massacre TD's you have to deal with almost the same situation. Mobs from the top, but in that one its both the left and the right.

Basically the two groups will run through the maze in opposite directions.

the second pic is how the towers should be placed, obviously near walls this will have to be modified for it to fit, but doing it this way extends the path as they cant do it in a straight line.
