Game Of The Week: Desktop Tower Defense

Desktop Tower Defense is one of those great flash based internet games, where you start playing for a few min, and hours later your still having fun. Its a very simple concept game. all you have to do is stop the “armies” from reaching the other side of the board. You get a plethora of weapons to choose from. You build these different types of “turrets” to Kill the invading armies.

Desktop Tower Defense

A few hints i have so far for this are as follows.

1: Build your turrets in a maze. The armies can not walk through them, use this to your advantage. Blockoff paths, and channel them to where you want them to go. Make them pass the same turrets as many times as possible. The only thing you cant do is trap them.

2: Upgrade your towers every chance you get. For a minor fee you can double, triple, and then some, your turrets damage, and range. Making it a much more fierce fighting force. As the levels move on the enemies will have more HP(Health Points) and an upgraded tower will not be able to cause enough damage to them.

3: Find a happy medium between the 2 above posted Hints.

Game is posted after the break.

Have Fun!

The Money Gold is earned by killing creeps, especially the boss creeps which come every 8 levels. You can spend Gold on buying Towers and upgrading them. SPAWNLET creeps do not give gold.
The Levels Each level, or ‘wave’, contains 20 creeps (10 on easy) and they arrive every 25 or so seconds. They cannot be stopped. Your only defense is to purchase Towers to attack them. Some waves have special abilities like FAST or FLYING. Also, after every 8th wave is a BOSS wave that is especially hard to kill.
