I just now beat every level on Geo Defense hardcore....
Lol. I thought I missed hardcore mode.
I already finished all levels in 1.1 version (which was much harder than 1.2) and removed it.
I reinstalled app only to find that I was playing hardcore mode too :(
But now I'll try to beat all levels without loosing single life :)

Here is how you do hard 2. The two lasers in the top right corner, upgrade those to level 6 and leave them there with the vortex. To build the top triangle, lay down a missile tower in the left top corner of it or right. Then put the shock tower in between. Make sure you get the upper triangle correct!! I believe then you upgrade the shock tower to 7. Then work on upgrading the missile towers all at one time per level up. So save up to upgrade them all at once. The last upgrade is 50 each, so since there is 5 up there save up 250. Anything except a shock tower always leave at level 6. After this triangle is complete work on the four next to it and level up all at a time. Then do the bottom, it may get hectic but focus on upgrades not the creepers!! One thumb selects towers, the other thumb should be down by the upgrade button. I have way more images of the winning score just request and i'll see if I have it!

I have a question about this game. I bought it when it was 99 cents and I never got the notification for the 1.2 update. I got a new iphone and when i went to transfer all my apps, it said that it couldnt transfer geoDefense cause it was invalid, i had the cracked version first but because of a piracy program inside the app i bought the original one, and i have the receipt for it. If i "buy" it again, will i get charged the 3.99 that it is now? Anybody knows why i never got that update?

You will get it for free.

You didn't get the notice cause there was a bug where a damaged version of the file came out and was marked as 1.2

so you didn't get the update because it thought you already had it.

Yup, if you have a receipt then the purchase is already linked to your account.

The only way you would be charged is if the dev deleted it from the store and then uploaded it again. But there would be a huge uproar and that receipt still lets you form a complaint to get a copy of that new hypothetical version

There have been lots of variations shown on this forum on how to beat Level 2 Hard but this is the way I have beat the level without losing any points.

When building I concentrated on the top row and inside the triangle first, and made each tower level 3. Then I added the towers to the sides of the triangle, and upgraded them to level 3 and the others level 4. So this is what I ended up with:

3 Lasers - Level 5
3 Shock Towers - The two in the triangle Level 6, the one outside Level 7
15 Missle Towers - I made six Level 7 Missle Towers (2 inside the triangle and 4 on the top row) and upgraded all the others to Level 5 and 6

Have fun.

Here is my solution to hard2.
Actually three rocket towers at left
are not really necessary.
At least 2 of them, they never even fired.

dvankley

07-15-2009, 07:56 AM

I sometimes find it useful to "lock down" a laser tower so it only fires down the straightaway it's set up next to. Does anyone know if this locking has any effect other than preventing the laser from moving? Also, what exactly is the effect of linking vortex towers to each other? This is unquestionably a great game, but without documentation it's hard to figure out how these extra little features work.

No vortex towers gra7? But I love vortex towers. You must use vortex towers. Please show some love for vortex towers.

07-18-2009, 11:59 AM

Well I finally got it and was so anxious to post results here, but it looks like i'm too late as everybody else is figuring it out too at the same time. Anyhow, my solution was a bit different than what I have read. I don't know how to post a screen shot (BTW...how do you guys do that, just take a picture of your ipod/iphone?). instead of a screen shot, I sketched the solution. the numbers indicate the general order of how each item was placed and maxed out in strength level from items numbered 1 through 7...by the time 1-7 were maxed out, there were so many creeps being blasted that items 8-10 and all the energy circles could be maxed out as soon as you could click on them...you have to work fast to keep increasing each item's strength level so they maxed out as soon as posible. then once you have most of the energy things maxed out, and the creeps start moving down into the triagle part, it is time to blast the energy circles...blast them all and keep adding more if necessary.

just answering your question, to take a screenshot oress the home and lock button at the same time.

07-18-2009, 03:22 PM

thx for the layouts. i dont think ill use them, unless after ive made at least 15 attempts and on the verge of throwing my iphone against the wall

very close to that point on medium 2.

I actually tried what he did, and I can't even upgrade by the time I'm bum rushed.

LukeGab

07-18-2009, 11:20 PM

what i don't like about the lazers is when the enemies get past them they follow the enemy and then they have to turn again when the next wave comes and sometimes they miss altogether.

Also the missiles miss every once in awhile too, so i try to position them closer to the track

Once you get the lazer past level 2 you can double tap on it to lock it. I found this extremely useful.

To Nahanni, press your home and sleep button at the same time to take a screenshot.

I also noticed that lazers range increase dramatically at their last level. And that the red bomber things begin to stay on the field until they lock onto something at their later levels, as opposed to shoot, miss, fly of playing field.

As far as I can tell one vortex will

07-20-2009, 12:35 PM

start with lasers on the straights and a few cannons...

then i line of the straight of ways with the ones that slow them down on both sides maybe some cannons thrown in there... but with a line of missels behind the slower-downers
if you have this on the straights along with lasers shooting down them then your golden

also have the lasers connected to the energy saving ones.. those are awesome and worth upgrading

im like halfway done through the medium way and this works pretty good for me

I agree Hard1 is a lot more difficult than Hard2. Here's my solution to Hard2, which I think I solved on my third try.

This is because in the last update he made the slow towers WAY too powerful. Hard1 doesn't have slow towers, thus it's difficulty was unaffected, while hard2 became incredibly easy.

Most of the above layouts (except yours) are pretty dumb/pointless. All you need is 2-3 maxed slow towers (since they now stack) and a couple lasers/missiles.

Once you upgrade the laser towers to level 3 you can double tap them to lock the turret in place.

There are no slow-down turrets on that level, so you have to add the blaster turrets one at a time, going clockwise and keeping just ahead of the yellow slow-poke, worm-like creeps as they make their way around in order to keep them pegged with shots from these base (non- or lightly upgraded turrets). Once you've managed to deal with those creeps successfully for a couple waves, there should be a substantial enough blaster framework to allow you to chill a little bit and wait for enough cash to buy a rocket turrent and a second laser if needed. Hope that helps. :D

Hey guys. So far I've beaten every level with lasers only, except for The Eye (and the first level where you can't buy lasers).

My strategy is pretty much just keep building laser towers and nothing else, and it beats every level. For The Eye though, I can only finish it with blasters. Has anyone had any luck with that one with anything other than blasters? Seems to be impossible with lasers, but I have to try and get them all lol :)

Actually as soon as I posted that message I beat Hard 6, my mistake was trying to use mostly the gun turrents and some lasers. The next try I just used four gun turrents at the X intersection and then just dumped about 20 L1 lasers around them, the creeps had no chance then.

I'm stuck at Hard 12 now, need to rethink the strategy I'm using me thinks.

Is anyone able to give help with Hard 12? I've tried about 20 times and can't stop the creeps getting through. I've tried a combination of lasers, cannons and missiles; cannons and lasers; lasers and missiles; and just pure lasers. I've got wave 38 once but didn't have enough lasers to take out the donuts. :(

I've had some success by lining the two columns that run vertically along the three downward rows with the green cannons shoulder-to-shoulder, then furiously upgrading them all to sniper towers

Same strategy here, the sniper towers (fully upgraded green towers) will hit and take down the donuts pretty fast, unlike reg green towers or rocket towers which bounce around the donuts.

I placed 4 green shooters on the center line between the first to rows, and connected them up to an energy thingy at the top.

Has any1 put together a GeoDefense high score list? Since I am waiting on Swarm I find myself going back and seeing how high I can get all my scores and would love to compair with others. It makes the game that much more challenging not only trying to beat each level but beat it with a higher score than before! :D

The problem with high scores in GeoDefense is the way you obtain high scores is completely different than the strategy for beating the levels most efficiently. I feel like this makes it less desirable to go for high scores.

Plus the buffing of the Shock tower made it much easier to abuse slowdown near the exit for high scores.

My high score in The Hat is 135,000,000.

I also leveled up the towers rather than build a bunch of crappy ones.

Finally got Rabbit Hole today.

Initially use guns at the left opening, top and on each side of the path to the Creep home base and on the outside of the left and right paths. Upgrade these as fast as you can - gets busy!

Add some laser towers at the top, then fill in laser towers at the bottom around Creep home base. Then, fill in missile towers around lower perimeter followed by more laser towers behind outer gun towers flanking the two outside paths

Convert money into weapon assets as fast as your fingers can move, along the way, but do build up gun bases early.

Good luck!

I mastered all geodefense levels and made some screenshots of possible solutions. I learned that the shock towers (updated to 7) play often an important role in the strategy because they multiply your destruction power more, than upgrading the "normal" defense towers would. Installing those power rings and connect them with laser towers _in an very early stage_ can help save money to invest in those shock towers. Important: Upgrade the red rocket towers only tho level 6, at level 7 they loose defense power effectively.

For some levels I developed several different solutions, to show what is possible. I found it interesting to master some higher levels using only those simple green defense towers (see screenshots at the end).

Hello,

I've been stuck on Hard 1 for awhile now. I've looked through the thread and saw several screenshots of how some of you guys did it, but I still can't pass this level. So I want to know what order do you produce/upgrade your guns?

Thanks in advance!

I feel you on H1: the eye. I finally beat it and H6:x-factor last night, so now I can finally say I have beaten Geodefense. Sweet!

There are at least two screenshots on this thread that show a solution. The trick for me was to make sure I spent all my cash after/during each wave, and upgrading the greens pretty much evenly going counter-clockwise. Pretty sure I still manually targetted the stars. The peanuts and stars will break you if you don't upgrade the first few towers at least. Good luck. I hope that helps. Now I'm going to go back and make sure I can beat it.

Edit: yep. First try, no sweat. You'll get it, Accellerate.

Level 9 for me. Seems like upgrading lasers is a waste of money, but I can't get the balance right. They have one strong unit followed by units immune to missles. Tough level.

The solution is all lasers on the corners. It's actually an obvious solution when you think about it, but when you first try and it doesn't work for 5 straight times, you start to think it's not possible. Just make sure your lasers are oriented so that when the creeps pass the corner they are oriented to shoot straight DOWN the hill and not up. Also don't forget that you can double and triple up lasers on some of the corners (you want as many as possible shooting at multiple creeps along the longest lines).

Same here. I think this is by far the hardest puzzle in the game from the perspective that none of the techniques used up till that point work. It's a bizarre level and some of the things move so fast it's almost cheating. The shock towers don't even slow them down reasonably enough. It's sttupid. Anyone smart or gracious enough to explain how to try to beat speed round ii (medium 13)?

You have to get your shock towers up to a respectable level of upgrade, obviously level 7 is optimal. You are just wasting your time if you are trying to put in a dozen level 2 or 3 shock towers (actually, that goes for ALL the levels), concentrate on getting 2-3 level 7 shock towers, the obvious spot for them being where the creeps turn around.

What will happen is you will build up a bunch of missile towers that will fire on a creep, which will be way too fast to hit, but the missiles will follow it anyway. The creep will go around the level until it gets slammed by your shock towers and slow down a ton for a second, wherein all the missiles following it will catch up and destroy it.

It's actually really cool to watch a dozen missiles chasing a creep around the level.

mv5869: good job responding to a post so old that when he posted it 8 months ago, you COULDN'T double tap a laser tower to lock it.

xdavis: Just start on the corners of the longest straightaways obviously. As for upgrading, just make sure you are spending all your money quickly.

Mix it up with blasters (many blasters, they should follow the inner ring) and lasers at the bottom, one shocktower to. Upgrade. Then you throw in a couple of rockettowers above the "q-line". Upgrade to 6 only.

I dont remember Q to be that hard at all.

Here's one way. I built the guns along the left of the opening path first, then added a couple of lasers at the top aligned with the vertical path and linked to a vortex opposite the guns. Continuously update the guns, vortex tower and lasers - the vortex tower will draw a lot of energy from the gun fire.

I think I also added the laser aligned with the entry path/creep's home path early and started building the lower left lasers after 7 or 8 waves. I did get nailed at wave 14 or 15, but survived.

I am sure there are more effective methods, but this worked.

Good luck!

The strategy for this was supplied above but I thought I'd give you an example on how it can be done. This strategy is built around:

1. Beginning with the middle shock tower and surrounding it with missile towers until you're out of money.

2. Follow by adding the upper and lower shock tower and the rest of the missile towers.

3. Now upgrade the shock towers to lvl 2 and continue upgrading the middle shock until lvl 7.

4. Now upgrade the upper shock tower to lvl 5 and upgrade the missile towers simultaneously to lvl 4.

5. Add the blaster towers.

6. Upgrade the bottom shock tower to lvl 7.

7. Upgrade the blaster towers to at least lvl 5. This bottom cluster of towers will now effectively kill off any creep getting through the missiles.

8. Now just upgrade the missiles and the top shock tower until victory.

Basically open with four missiles across the top, then make a stand at the up/down segment with shock towers.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2564/4028249636_0ccc339eb6.jpg

This is how I did it. I apologize for the awful photo.

The problem I had was that a few creeps are immune to anything but lasers. I tried to use lasers only but that never worked. They are too expensive. I found that these immune creeps are a lot slower than the others though. The non-immune creeps would get by first, leaving the immune creeps alone up top.

So I stacked the top with nothing but lasers, while putting blasters and missile towers on the bottom half. After the non-immune creeps squeezed through, the lasers up top would focus on and kill the immune creeps.

A - At the beginning
1) Start off with about a few laser towers up at the top, spaced so they can get most of the two top circles and a little of some in the lower portion.
2) Put some blasters inside the circles in the bottom half.
3) Put a couple of missile towers in the center of the bottom half.

B - Through most of the first levels
4) Do not upgrade the above yet, just keep adding more laser towers up top, more blasters inside the circles below, and more missiles in the center area of the bottom half.
5) Throw in a couple of shock towers in the bottom half.

C - Through the latter levels
6) Begin upgrading the existing towers once you start to run low on room.
7) Throw in some laser towers in the bottom half.

I let about half the creeps through, and I am sure there is a better way, but this let me finish the level.

Good luck!

Hard 14 is the only level I can't seem to beat. Anyone?

Okay so I'm gonna let you in on my strategy which is gonna be a flawless victory if performed right. It's a pretty weird approach but it works great. We all know that crazy straw includes the bagel-creeps which is immune to anything but lasers AND lvl 7 blasters - sniper towers. This is the trick here. I use sniper towers as my main attack tower here. This is how it's done:

I will here refer to the picture attached.

1. Place a blaster in the top position, upgrade it all the way to a sniper tower (lvl7).

2. Do the same in the right sniper tower position.

3. Place the group of three missile towers to the right, upgrade these to lvl 2.

4. Place the left and bottom blasters. Do not upgrade at this point.

5. Upgrade bottom blaster to sniper (lvl 7), try to time this with the creeps so it's not upgrading while they are passing.

6. Add the center shock and the last 2 missile towers and upgrade the missiles to lvl 2. (leave the shock at lvl 1)

7. Upgrade left blaster to sniper.

8. Add the remaining shock towers.

9. Upgrade all towers together until missiles are lvl 6 and shocks are lvl 7.

10. You will now be at the beginning of wave 12. Don't worry, put down the iPhone, you're done, just wait for the win.

Since the edit this plan should give you a flawless victory every time. I'm sure you can let one or two through if you intentionally plan the sniper upgrades badly, but you won't be able to fail if you follow the instructions.

Enjoy.

I just completed
GEO DEFENSE HARD LEVEL 2 ANGULAR VIEW

wow. that was hard. i have tried for 100 times.
nothing seems to work.

No blaster
No laser
no vortex
just missile and shock.

how to i decribe best:

i just concentratet on the triangle.
the whole thing is based on a "trick" or just a bug.

above the triangle there is a small stripe / gang
usually there is only room for one missele tower.
but
her comes the trick.
you can put more than 30 towers at one place

just try it.

just shift / move the missile tower towards "outside of the field."
above this small stripe
without removing your finger, the missile tower will be build.

and just repeat. 20 times.

some shocks and other rocket towers within the triangle will do the rest.
i really did use a lot of shock towers, which i upgraded time by time.

i hope this helped.

why didn't you just use the "copy iphone screen" function i.e sleep and home button ....i can't understand a word your saying.

above the triangle there is a small stripe / gang

whats a gang? also how the hell can you put 30 towners in one place? are you saying put a tower on the other side of the line? i.e almost off screen?

misterwinter

10-27-2009, 07:26 PM

PLEASE!!! I need help! Hard Level 13 (Twister)
I tried it with screenshots on the last pages but I need a step by step tutorial :(

Okay, so here's my gameplan.

PHASE ONE. Goal: To get one tower on every stretch of the track.

1. Place the first 6 lasers from the top. Make absolute sure you position them to fire down the track (as the creeps have passed them, not at incoming creeps.)

2. Upgrade these to lvl 2.

3. Place the remaining 5.

4. Upgrade these to lvl 2.

PHASE TWO. Goal: Get as many lasers as possible firing down the longest stretches.

5. Add the four towers that's in the double-spots.

6. Upgrade these to lvl 2.

PHASE THREE. Goal: Maximize fire power.

7. Upgrade all towers from the top down to lvl 3. Make sure not to have a tower upgrading as multiple creeps are passing.

8. Upgrade the top 3 towers simultaneously to lvl 7.

9. Slap some upgrades on the rest of the towers. You're at the last wave now, shouldn't be able to screw it up.

I'm pretty sure it's not. The strategy is solid at least in version 1.4. Either I didn't explain it right or you didn't do it right.

So to sum up:

Place a tower at every single position, get them lvl 2. Add the second towers in the double-positions. Upgrade them to lvl 2. Upgrade all to lvl 3. Upgrade top 3 to lvl 7. Upgrade the rest a little bit.

It really should work, just tried it again.

11-23-2009, 11:54 AM

Okay, since it's been harder in v1.4 I've been struggling but now I got it right.

I struggled with this level like no other - the last one I finished. Just replying as your solution was the closest I've seen posted to what worked for me. And I tried everyone's strategy on here I could find after many many of mine failed.

I think the sniper cannons are probably the most important feature of my solution. They're expensive, slow to upgrade, but (combined with massively upgraded shock towers) seem to be the key to surviving level 30. The triple Laser Towers (combined with shock towers) are the key to the early levels. Filling in with as many Missile Towers as you can completes the solution.

I think if I refined the timing/placement just a smidge this could be a "perfect game" arrangement.....but I've had my fill of Angular View for a while.

Here's how I managed to do it without letting any creeps get by. It's simple.

1) Add lasers up top until you run out of money.

2) Then keep adding lasers where you can maximize their range throughout the map.

3) Keep adding lasers until you have the map filled.

4) Upgrade the existing lasers to level two, starting from the bottom of the map moving up.

5) Keep upgrading until all lasers are level two. Then begin again to level three. Then repeat for level four, etc.

Worked for me and was easy.

Eni

12-15-2009, 09:17 AM

Okay, since it's been harder in v1.4 I've been struggling but now I got it right.

Started with the lasers, filled the triangle with missiles, added all the shocks. Added the vortexes. Ran a few rounds of upgrades until about lvl 3. Added the rest of the missiles. Kept upgrading. Focused on getting the lasers to lvl 7 and then at least one or two of the shocks to 7. Then just kept upgrading.

I've been trying a couple of times to tweak it for a flawless victory but I just can't seem to stop that lone star.

Oh well. Here's the pic.

I've had problems with lvl 2, and I tried your strategy and beated this level in one shot, with FLAWLESS VICTORY - 10 lives left. Like you, I placed everything like in your screenshot. Lasers -> missiles inside triangle -> shocks -> vortexes -> missiles. Then I upgraded all towers (except last missiles and vortexes) to lvl 3, then lasers to lvl 7, then FIRST and LAST shock tower to lvl 7, then all missiles to lvl 6. No creep went out of this triangle!

I need the help of the Geodefense Masters here. I am in a high score competition on The Hat with my friends and I seem to have maxed out my skillz at 79.2 million points. I had the lead for a while but I've been over-taken (89 million) so I need some help on high scores.

What are some strats, specific to The Hat that I can use.

My general plan so far has been to build two gun turrets (upgrade each once) right next to the exit getting x20 and x50. Then build a laser tower at the end of the long corridor near the exit, then one at the beginning of the first corridor. Upgrade and build more laser towers, eventually selling off the gun turrets.

Once I had 4 laser towers at level 6 build some shock and missiles near the exit.

Please help me whoop on my friends, thanks for any advice.

get to round 11 and this strat falls apart - you run out of cash and can't upgrade the top 3 towers to level 7 - somethings wrong with your strat.

For one: you say to get all the towers to fire downstream but towers can't be made to fire in one particular direction till level 3 - which you dont have until about round 10 or so

For two: in step 7, you mention to upgrade all towers from the top down to level 3 - you can't upgrade all towers to level 3 due to cash constraints till round 12 and round 11 is when this strat falls apart -

First of all, he says to POSITION the towers so they can fire "down" the track after the creeps, not to lock them into firing in that direction. Just look at his picture. If you place the tower "low" on the corner instead of "high" it will only hit one creep after they turn the corner instead of hitting the whole line.

For all upgrades you simply upgrade whenever you have the money available. You have plenty of firepower to kill all the creeps if you're not an idiot who positions his towers wrong and can't follow a PICTURE.

Edit: I don't know what the hell you are doing because you can have all the towers to level 3 by the end of wave 9.

if a laser is level 3 or above, you can double-tap it to fix it in place :)

Did exactly like this and failed. How is that possible?

Do as posted above BUT you dont need to add the bottom tower! that way you will upgrade the top 3 to level 7 quicker :)

Sorry to dig up an old thread :o but I'm looking into picking up one of the geoDefense games, just not sure which one.

Which one is more difficult?

Basically its all about defeating the creeps before they even get halfway through the top triangle for the first 26-27 waves. I tried all methods I could find as to how to win but i believe most of them are for prior update 1.5 angular view not the current v. 1.5 hard level 2 Angular View. I was forced to use the glitch that allows you to stack towers above the map, like off the grid... out of sight even so you can upgrade them but you can place a lot of towers along the creeps first line of travel hence destroying them before they even make it down the upper triangle. Another key is a lot of shock towers along the top since all those rocket towers you built at the top aren't upgraded they shoot very slow.. I also upgraded the shock towers to around level 4 along with my blue lasers. Around level 22 I started building towers to the left of the top triangle and around level 26 started building towers to the right of the top triangle... then came level 28 when creeps started getting through and i frantically began building every thing i could on the bottom half of the screen and the only ones i spent time upgrading were the shock towers in the bottom triangle and the few red rockets below the lower triangle.

My strategy to Twister. I added 3 Blaster to right and left upper sides, see Images, early in the game and Lasers along the sides.. . Upgrading the Blasters fast... I can do this level with this setup every time! Good Luck.. . This is played on Hardcore Mode. :o
