A perfectly enjoyable waste of time. Pay attention to the hints. They are the key to your success. The quick-start helps, but I think it's more fun to figure it out yourself.

I've played this a bit lately, bloody addictive game.
Yeah, I finally designed a good maze that allows me to beat it. I need to do some tweaking, but it's a pretty good basic design.
I should be doing some homework or something, but instead doing this and can't stop.
I started playing it
about an hour and fifteen minutes ago...

Hey, I only play it home. I do respond to the board at work though....
I made the mistake of playing it at work... I didn't get a damn thing done yesterday. :mad:
Then I played it at home... :icon_confused:
Ya' bunch of addicts! :)
I play it at work, then paused to respond on the board, then went back :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Did anyone else catch the change last night? The game's a work in progress, and the towers and levels keep changing. It ruined my 6000-point maze.
"All forms are artificial. The Way is the Form of No-Form."
Hai-ya.
There was a change?
:dunno_white:
I kept losing... Or just barely winning.....
:dunno_white:
Yep. The flying bosses are back from version 1.0, the Dart towers are weaker when fully upgraded (down to 256 damage from 320), and I think there was a Bash tower alteration of some sort.
Edit: yeah, the Bash towers are reduced in power, at least for lower levels (I don't have records for the Quake tower) and they cost more. The Dart towers' damage is now 8, 16, 32, ... ,256 instead of 10, 20, 40, ... , 320. They cost slightly more than before.
I HATE the flying boss... I don't even bother trying to kill them. :dunno_white:
I'll have to go check out the new changes... :laugh:
Slain.. I finally beat Egaeus after several different versions of maps and traps. But I'm sure its only a matter of time before I'm toppled. Thanks for the game.
Don't worry, I have to make a new maze. In between my high score and second score, the game changed, so my maze no longer works like it did. I made a few tweaks so that it would keep the spawn creeps from leaking out only to find that the whole game had changed.
I now officially hate this game. I cannot get a maze that allows me to beat it. The best I got was to level 48. I got pretty close with my last maze by placing frost towers so their edges just overlapped to slow down the fast guys. No matter how many swarm towers I put the flying guys just kill me. ARGGGH I have so much real work to do.

You know... You can click on people's names on the Top Scores page... There's a map of what they did... http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Scoreboard.asp
I couldn't get a score anywhere near what people were doing when I tried to steal their maps... So, I modified a couple ideas.
I do a 9 block square... 4 Dart Towers, 4 Squirt Towers, and a Frost tower in the middle... Then upgrade the Darts and the Frost first... The darts to Area damage...
Then, I basically try to build a maze to keep the guys in the range of the darts.
I hate this game. :laugh:

Hey, that sounds familiar!
Yup! I totally ripped off the basic idea... Those dart towers are sweeeet. :laugh:
They are, but before v1.2c, they were sweeter. I would have finished with 20 lives with my #2 score without that change.
BAM! 6112!
Time to tweak this stratagem.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
So tell us what you really think....
Damn thing is backed up. I scored over 6000 and I'm still waiting for it to submit my score. Not the high score though....
I hate myself for ever playing this game. I've done nothing for two days.
Just posted my first attempt ... listed as Ozone
6449...
Suckers.
There! I ripped off your maze and got 6287! :flipoff:
6590! What what??
i can barely break 3k, i suck :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
me things i need to spend more time upgrading and less time building
Ok, i set up my little maze of crap, start out with pelets, cause thats what i can afford. then squirts and missles and some bashs and anti air and throw in some freeze on corners to slow the groups and fast sperm looking dudes down, don't want to get pregnant :laugh:. but eventually at around 3k i get PWN3D. more upgrading and shorter building maybe??
edit: Wait shouldn't i be working now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You need to upgrade your stuff to max... 'cause the later bad guys just have too much health.
The Squirts to sick damage with the last upgrade... And they're fast. :thumb:
yeah problem being i run out of gold ..... :cry:
correction: i can't put stuff down fast enough and the flying guys are KILLING ME :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:. one might thing to put more anti air towers but by the time i see the air guys comming its to late :laugh: :laugh:
now i'm pissed, i put my board, played my ass of beat all but one flying boss and was one shy of 5800. put in my name submitted to the group and my name shows up Anonymous, WTF. Crappy :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Best score i've gotten yet and I can't take credit for it :laugh: :laugh:
Don't worry about it! I beat my own high score, so the bar is higher now! :flipoff:
6699
Oh yeah.
Alright, I'm done for a while. I don't even have to try anymore, apparently. Congrats to me, the bar is higher for everyone now!
6847
19 lives, and only because a stupid spawn from the first levels popped through a weak spot.
I gave up a while ago... 'cause I don't want to be fired. :laugh:
I scored over 8200. Unfortunately, it was on the 10,000 gold fun level. The challenge is to let all 50 levels through at once, and kill them without changing the maze or juggling.

I'm proud to have like the third best score on medium... its probably the high point of my life.

Damn you ..... that's going to be fun
i have officially raped myself half a dosen times trying to get a bomb diggedy setup going. Not enough money ROFL
I'm finding a maxed rocket and laser and a few guns will get you lvl 90+ on the criss cross map
Damn ... hit lvl 100 and then clicked a link ... lost the game :cry:
yeah i have made it past lvl 100 with a couple rockets, a couple turrets and a laser. But past that the little bastards just march right on by.
Yeah - I had to stop letting 5 batches go through at a time. Check out the combos - some pretty sick stuff. And there's a sandbox version. It gets really slow when you have a bunch of nuke chains and 2 dozen Land Mine combos :)
yeah i was going for the bigger combos, i need to stop doing that :laugh: :laugh:
One rocket (Full upgrades) and 8 guns all max damage will get you around lvl 180... Then you start dropping the damage-ups and that'll get you around lvl 200.
Some of the combo weapons don't do enough damage for the high level dudes... When you have nukes, 5 at a time really generates some money. :icon_mrgreen:

Haha ... i'll post a screenshot of it tonight if I can. I'll try to beat it. Basically, I think the score is based on shot/kill and $ ... guess I got lucky
man i didn't realize they stop giving cash for kills till just now, thats how much i suck :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
nevermind i think there is something that is just f%$ked up with my browser that when it gets down to the nitty gritty i stop getting cash. cause you guys are spending double what i get capped at.
If you use Black Holes, you don't get any cash...
which combo causes the black hole, cause I stop getting money all together at a little over 48k
Quote from: natedawg120 on June 07, 2007, 08:07:16 AM

Is that when you stop killing things? Around Lvl 140, my kills pretty much halt and start to move very slowly. As a result, no $$
Lost of cheese is listed in the Forums... I can get close to level 200 with two nuke setups... Three blackhole setups will last pretty much forever.

I'm running 2 Nuke setups .. though I'm doing it with 4-5 towers (2 rocket, 2-3 gun).
And I was unable to get blackholes working ... guess I need to try again.
My problem is that the black holes eat everything that is almost dead and i never get any $$ for it.
Yeah... Black holes take all your money...
If you can put one right near the end to save your hide, it might work better... :dunno_white:
i might try that, i have been playing with nukes for the time being.
So how exactly do we make a blackhole? I haven't been able to do it successfully. AND, my nukes don't seem to work after ~120 or so - but I get tons of mines - looks like my blues are stealing the shots for some reason.
I think the balckholes are 3 tazers and a lazer. Maybe less tazers and a lazer. I was getting a hell of a lot of black holes with two 3 tazer 1 lazer set ups. I made it to lvl 150 something but got no cash whatsoever. from the forum if there is a black hole active you will recieve no money for any kills during the black hole. Thats exactly why I got no money.
now with nukes past about 120 i get hosed. I added 2 tazers and lasted til 136, but i still haven't broken 100 million though, so i suck. My highest is like 88 mil.

Hmm ... I'll have to try that. I'm regularly dying in the 130-140 range with roughly 120mil. That's with a pair of nuke setups and 1-2 sets of 3 tazers - that seems to slow things down for the nukes ... until they stop working of course :)
Yeah i think the game hates me, i mean i make it to 130 almost every time but never get the cash to keep upgrading.
You have to put a damage boost next to the nukes... I was doing one rocket in the middle with 8 guns around it... Then surrounding that with the $8000 damage boost...
Then I changed to two rockets right next to each other with 10 guns around it and surrounding that with the 8000 damage boosts...
That'll get you up around level 200.
DAMN that post was dorky!

Ok so what am I missing here? Rockets are Max in all 3, the Guns are Max Damge. And not enough $$$ to start with the Damage Boosters ....
I was doing 5 at a time through 100, then 2 through 120(?) then 1 at a time since they stopped dying.
(http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8885/argeh7.jpg)
You only need 2 guns per rocket, don't make so many guns so you can afford the boost.
Level 137
108mil
I just don't get how you guys are getting these huge scores...I barely cleared 4500...
HIghest i have gotten is something lie 170 mil. But that is due to a lot of down time at work.
you can't get 170 million on the regular game.
I figurerd out something...after you've got the game beat, before the last creeps go down, start selling off all your now useless towers...big points.
Quote from: MrDan on June 08, 2007, 05:25:13 PMOk so what am I missing here?
The guns are shooting at the creeps, rather than simply teaming up for the Nuke combo... When they're shooting, they won't team up. :icon_confused:
how do you makethe guns team up? I haven't figured that out yet.
Check out the "Hot to play" stuff... Or the forum for it.
Basically, they need to be a certain combo nect to eachother... So... Two guns and one rocket launcher next to each other... Max out the damage on the two guns, max out the damage on the rocket (or max everything) and it will launch Nukes every 7 seconds (or so).
There are other combos too, but the nukes are pretty bad-ass... . Without damage boost, you can get around 150 or so... With damage boosts, you can roll around lvl 200... LOTS of boosts...
Typos == kinda drunk... So, shuddup!
is this in a different mode or something? because I tried half a dozen different combos ini regular mode and didn'tget anything.
are you talking abuot the desktop defence game or the new one that r-vert posted up.

I figured that out last night ... I was doing 2 things. First, the combo at the beginning was slowing the creeps so they would not set off the black holes. Second, I kept forgetting to max the damage on the lasers in the back combos. I think I can set up an infinite black hole loop today :) .. I'll post if I do.
There's a walk-through for the black hole setup... Pretty cheesy, but you can get it to run forever...
168,230,052 :dunno_white:
Man! They made nukes SUCK! Only got to wave 162 with two nukes and shockers slowing everyone down right at the beginning.... :icon_confused:
yeah, they have turned the nukes down, I used to kick ass with two and now i struggle to get them lvled up before the bugs walk right through.
I'm thinking of spacing out the nukes so they all don't get overwhelmed with just shooting. I like the idea of slowing them down at the beginning so they can just get nuked lesuirely. Then you should have time to set up a black hole (or, is a rainbow hole, now?). I really enjoy seeing laser missles (nuke setup + laser), kinda cool.
prblem for me is that i can't really afford to set up more than two nukes and a couple tazers.....
I had 6 Full power/speed tazers at the entrance, two Nuke Setups (1 missle, two guns), AND a black-hole setup....
The bugs would get slowed down and nuked, twice... All grouped together, like they were huttling up for warmth, then BLAM BLAM!!!
After a while, two nukes wouldn't kill 'em, but 4 would... Then 6 would... Then 8 would... Then they just wouldn't f%$king die. Black Hole to the rescue!?! NOPE! One black hole doesn't work... You need two spaced out far enough that one will get the first half and the second will get the second half..... And... They won't get sucked in if they're slowed. :icon_confused:
But, after a certain point, there is no killing the bugs with nukes... They just keep on going... Slow or not...
