  • Suspected, on 10/12/2007, -65/+5There is no strategy to this game. The only differences between the towers are range and damage, that's it. Game of the month? I don't think so.
  • jacobo, on 10/12/2007, -66/+2Today is Dec 04.. yes this is the game of the month. and yes you need an strategy
  • 4bit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I wouldn't say NO strategy. Doing things differently does increase your score. Postion, quality vs quantity, etc.

    It's a fun little time waster
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The orginal D games were much better (sunken D was first on SC) They required you to build paths/mazes to slow them down enough to kill them, but these just require every simple upgradeing...
    • SpazticChips, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1StarCraft is so good. I've probably played every type of Build A Defense, kicked at at this one because of it :) 115 Waves (Then Cannons Froze after over-stacking, lol I
  • unthink, on 10/12/2007, -20/+3this is a rip off from the original game that is so much better:

    • Xanadude, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17... which is itself a ripoff of a bonus round in "Warcraft III." Incidentally, I once won that bonus round and got a perfect score.
    • olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12cause the original isn't a rip off from starcraft/warcraft.
    • grapeape25, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is also like a custom scenario in AoC (Age of Empires 2: Conquerors Edition)
  • DrAcUlA212, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9So far my high score is 64. After playing, my eyes hurt and i still see the little blue and red balls shooting at the dots. I think the game is great because of the strategy you need to use.
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2Yeah, I got 64, too.
    • billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Me too.
    • Rodalli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1070 is the highest I've managed. Is it just me or is it near impossible to get the 15000 ultimate tower?
    • light50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+173 - 4 Nature and 4 Ice right in the middle, still trying...
  • DrAcUlA212, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7heyyyyyyyy!!!!! i was on the 50th wave, and one of my water towers that was fully upgraded disapeared.
    • FinalDoom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Happened to me a couple of times. Nothing to do but say "Damnit!" and move on. D:
  • elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35Hold down the space bar.

    I"m at level 105.

    I actually discovered this by accident, when just trying to get throught he levels faster. Hold it down, and wheny our level ends, your level rank will skyrocket.
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Damn you, i held it down for to long and went up 140 extra lvls.... i cant kill a thing
    • quoquo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my spacebar is broken. no seriously.
  • chrisryn64, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4this game is old and you mispelled two words in your post
  • DrAcUlA212, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6wow, that spacebar cheat really works. nice discovery
    • jadenguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9it doesn't help, because the enemy just gets stronger and you never get the money for it.
  • rhlgd24, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2this isnt an original concept at all. its exactly like tower defense in warcraft 3.....
  • silga, on 10/12/2007, -12/+7http://www.duggmirror.com
  • kx40, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Gets boring fast
  • Rummey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Game of th universe!!!!! Proof-read please.
  • Shwenk, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1*****
  • kman2k1, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3I play map settings games like this in StarCraft all the time.
    • elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Unfortunately, this is a whole lot less fun than that.
  • weprin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Quite fun and addicting. Full-screen through duggmirror:

  • SoullessDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+565 :) without cheating
    • onineko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+365 as well, varied towers, didn't have one of the 3000$ towers
    • jambarama, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I got 69 with only Water towers. Put them in the bends and upgrade them as fast as possible before building more.
    • Siriuskr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26 times of playing and the highest i can get is 80 :'( i can never get enough saved monies to get the 5000 flower tower upgrade
    • Daspaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i got to 75 max. i just built all out leaf towers and put them in strategic spots. their last upgrade boosts their damage to 9000 so thats helpful.
  • pants428, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5shouldn't it read "game of teh month"?
  • levitron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2...and it's gone.
  • algorythm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2pretty fun. Anyone find the best placement?
    • elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, going BACKwards on the track, that second corner you encounter, the inside of the corner, place upgraded cold towers there. They should be able to reach ALMOST the entire path.
  • pbanta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3got 71 without the spacebar cheat.. after that... i get schooled
  • drummer1189, on 10/12/2007, -0/+273 no cheating :)
    • ozanweb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Same, i started with one fire tower, and kept upgrading until i got it to Centiruon or what ever, after that I just kept building nature towers and maxing them out in the middle. I would've gotten a higher level if i didn't buy that dump flower tower (and one of my towers dissapeared at level 70)
  • fireandicefuel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+263 no cheating
  • underdog5004, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2This is so easy...
  • nigel984, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Water towers are the way to go?

    haha time for a new host

    Also, I got 62 *shrug*
  • Jimzo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The game needs a reset button.
  • darthtofu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I got up to 59
  • jonesyhahaha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+374 is my best score... anyone have a secret? I think fire towers have the best first few levels but then they don't start to pay off again until level 8-9? And they have terrible range. Water towers are good overall, and plant towers have cheap and powerful top-ends. I don't understand the point of the storm tower...
    • SLYK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i lined the path with storm towers 2 layers thick...does consistent damage for cheap

      gave me 69 first try with no cheat..
  • deep582, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1game is dumb as a rock
  • SleepJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I got to level 65. I got two storm towers, but they really sucked. Fire towers were good early on, and water were great after that. I think I'd hit at least 70 if I didn't get the storm towers.
  • xDeadPixel, on 10/12/2007, -12/+375 on first try..easy
    • OmegaNine, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10I call bs - It took me most of the first game to figure out I could upgrade the towers

    Guess it's time to hit the duggmirror coments upthere.
  • davodavo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Hacked version:
    http://data.lepouya.com/data/src/Tower_Defence_Hacked_2.swf
    * You start with 60,000,000 cash
    * Highest level ice tower does 77,777,777 damage
    * Highest level living tower does 90,909,090 damage

    No more *****-range "Ultimate Flower" towers.
    • Warnke, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3How is that fun?
    • javaru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How did you hack this? I tried using free software to get decompile, but i couldn't edit the scripts, could you link me too the .fla file you made
  • Iknockstuffdown, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3spacebar isn't a cheat, it makes the next wave come so you don't have to wait for the timer.
    • davodavo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Hold it down and it skips waves. Fast.
    • Iknockstuffdown, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1It doesn't skip for me :(
  • Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fun stuff.....level 63 on the second try without cheating
  • OmegaNine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn i was happy with 59
  • jefree, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Fire your host company. What a rude method to people who visit you site to get, as if their lack of bandwidth availability is ultimately the customers fault. Maybe it is due to throughput rules, but still...
  • malacor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1174 :D, leaf towers seem to be the best, 9000 damage with less upgrade prices than everything else, plus some nice range to boot.
  • loafnut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think nature towers are the way to go.
    • vitriolage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Ya, but even sticking with just nature in the center of the map (where they can hit almost anything) I still cant get out of the 70s.
  • KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i got 72 but the water towers make best combos
  • Jowe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1711 no cheating, talk about 1337.
  • chibigoku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4soooo do I just not get it or what? Everyones talking about 50 and 60, I cant get past 10.....
    • OmegaNine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Click on your towers and you can upgrade them
    • chibigoku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I got that, Ive been trying to keep up, but it seems that every round one gets through. Oh well, guess my mind wasnt made for this type of game......
  • Spiffy101, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0This is a complete rip off of a BYOND game made several years ago.
    The game is called Castle, and you can try it out to see for yourself.
    http://games.byond.com/hub/Abra/Castle
  • Reizors, on 10/12/2007, -6/+274 no cheating, first try.
  • SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+168 but I tried to build varied towers thinking it would be like StarCraft / WarCraft 3 where that mattered more.
  • NYG1988, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I got to 66 on my third try, 58 the second time.
  • Zaius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+167 no cheating, I used all water towers.
  • über, on 10/12/2007, -0/+276 w/no space bar cheat.
    • Zipko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2same here. 76 with a water to start, then all nature until it gets to be too much.
    • sancho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You can get away with only nature towers. I got to 79 before Flash crashed.

      The rate things were going, I would have probably lost my last citizen at 80.
  • Wulfgar3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26 on first try, 73 on second after figuring out I could upgrade. Quite an addicting little game.
