Geo Defense Strategy

[WOW_GEE]

I've played around 5 levels of Geo Defense, and i must say im really impressed. No TD game has caught my attention since field runners, and this is a nice, well done change.

I've also noticed that this game is by no means easy, and i wanted to know what kind of strategy some of you were using to beat the harder levels.

the gameplay video showed putting the blue towers along straightaway paths and then scattering a bunch of green towers around corners and whatnot; do you guys put a few towers and upgrade them to make them more powerful or do you put a lot of towers to cover more ground?

[riceman360]

it depends on the enemies. if it's a long line of fast moving enemies, then multiple low level towers is good. if it's spaced out heavier enemies, then leveled-up towers are good.

[Hobbes]

I do it in like waves... Use my money on a few blue laZers on a straightaway or two.. plot some others... Then I upgrade pretty high, tens save ip for another "burst" of towers...

[Mindfield]

Lasers along straightaways -- if possible placed at both ends and upgraded 3-4 times. In conjunction with cannons it seems to work really well, but the balance is sometimes hard to find. It seems best to place them along the straightaways closest to the start position to weaken them for the cannons and rockets. Zappers to slow them at strategic points is also helpful.

[WOW_GEE]

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

[cptlockheed]

The missiles miss if their target is destroyed before the missile hits. At some upgrade level the missiles gain a targeting computer which allows them to change targets midflight.

The lasers turning when following targets is just something that must be taken into account when placing them.

This game is devilishly clever, my favourite at the moment. Currently am stuck on medium level 2, the more the game keeps beating me the more I enjoy it :D

[Blaqkie]

I think that definitely a lot of smaller towers works much better when spaced around the map in two's. Lazers somehow never do justice for me, even when I have them placed on a straightaway.

[Moog]

I found that placing lots of separate towers usually works better than upgrading just a few.

I was stuck on Easy 6 for about 20 attempts, I then changed strategy to place loads of lower powered towers and almost breezed through it and then the rest of the easy levels using the same strategy.

[Man of Mystery]

so far i've beaten all of easy and medium3-8, and what i do mostly is just put 2-3 blaster towers in the beginning with one vortex, and then put 3 or 4 missile towers and upgrade them all the way (or to lv6 depending on the map) and keep adding missile towers, and then during the last couple waves when you get tons of money i place as many missile towers as i can and upgrade them, if possible

[WOW_GEE]

Also how do the multipliers work? I saw on the devs blurb that getting higher multipliers is something that he wants us to figure out, but how do you get a multiplier in the first place? Just by killing creeps? Because sometimes I see a big like 10x flash when I kill a creep

[Ph4ntom4]

Laser towers are best placed at the start of a straight so it doesn't become un-aligned once a creep passes the corner. At the moment I am really stuck on the 8th medium mission, the pipe one. I've tried everything but lasers aren't great because there aren't straights you can put them at the end of. The best tactic so far was spamming bullet towers but they still get past.

Here is a screen of me finally beating medium 3.

All I know is that you get a higher multiplier if the creep is closer to the end when it gets killed. You get x20 and x50 when it is close. I think it's probably just a way to exponentially increase your score as time progresses.

[marlenedegrood]

I've been stuck on Easy Level 5 (The Beat) for days. Seems like I've tried every configuration with no luck. ANY HELP? PLEASE.
Thanks!

Update: So a friend told me how she beat the level. Lots of missile towers near the beginning and a few lasers. I thought I needed shock towers but you don't so I was wasting my money.

[Jmburton]

Easy lvl 6 Shoulda Zagged..
Medium lvl 2, 5, 8,

these lvls are kicking my ass ive tried them over and over. can someone give me some tips on these lvls lol

[No Hero]

just a general tip, build the missile tower to level 6 (the red one) the last update level 7 sucks compared to level 6
Level 6: smaller range, faster shooting
Level 7: Larger range, slower shooting
the two supposed pros of level 7 just suck as the missile just loops around, and by the time it hits, the level 6 tower would have done more damage. I used many of these to beat last hard level which I guess is the hardest (which I did skip to)

I love this, a game that makes the final upgrade make the gun worse, this dev is getting inside your head!! :)

GeoDefence is so utterly tormenting... must go play now!

You get a x1 multiplier each time you kill a creep. If there was no way to get a higher one, then you'd always end up with the same score when you won (assuming no creeps got through). But, fortunately, there is a way to increase the multiplier...

Once a creep gets very near your home base, it's multiplier bonus goes up... as high as X50 for killing it at the last last last possible moment!

This can impact how you set out your towers. If you are in it for maximum score... you'll take extra risk trying to kill things near that last little bit of path....

-- David

[cptlockheed]

At first I thought the scoring being backwards: why reward killing the creeps later? Logic says the faster you get rid of the enemies the better. But by reversing this everyday rule in scoring the game hits one of the master strokes in geoDefense. The risk involved in bonus multipliers means that the high scores can always be bettered - there is no way anyone will ever reach the absolute zero of perfect score, as doing that would require to get every creep killed right at the exit point.

Compare that to another TDs like Creeps: once the max score has been reached there is no incentive to play that map ever again. Ok, reaching the perfect score will be hard but it is possible nonetheless. Of course getting to that solvable high point is a target in itself but I think the asymptotic way of nearing the max score in geoDefense works better by giving an infinite challenge.

Hmm... Does this make Creeps a game of skill and geoDefense a game of luck/risk ? :O

[darwiniandude]

Hmm... Does this make Creeps a game of skill and geoDefense a game of luck/risk ? :O

All I know is that with most TD games, each time I play a level, I roughly do as well as I did last time. Geo Defense is so frantic that due to the speed which I can physically do things and my concentration level, every play is different.

Great, great game.

Shots of the First 8 easy levels completed (next two are in the next post). Steps to take:
Cheapest First (Blasters)
Then upgrade once everything is set up. I normally upgrade Missile towers first.
Un-upgraded Missile towers were thrown in during the last round or two.

I upgrade missile towers to the second to most powerful status (don't buy the $60 upgrade)

NOTE: Laser towers should shoot down a straight line AFTER the creeps pass them, much more bang for the buck.

[wiesse]

Last 2 easy levels completed. I may do the medium levels and hard levels next if people want it.

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

[SuperPaperSam]

Just bought it and was a good $1 spent but what is the BEST stragy?

EDIT: Like do i go with lots of weak towers or a few of the best?

[Erin]

I have solved everything on easy and medium. I'm almost done with hard, but there are three levels that are just killing me! I'm finally throwing in the towel and asking for help.

Hard 2 - This is one that is stumping most everyone. Like lots of people, I can get to level 30 consistently, but level 30 always gets me. I'm starting to feel like it's unwinnable with a basic setup. So my question is, do I have to pop vortex towers on level 30 to win? If so, how many vortex towers should I have, and at what levels?

Hard 5 - Knit Knack Shack. Can't get past level 11 of 13. I've tried dozens of different setups, and nothing seems to work. I just saw the video to how you can link vortex towers together at level 7. Is that necessary to solve this level?

Hard 8 - Resistance is Futile. EPIC FAIL. Yes, this one has caught me offguard! No matter what I build, I can't even get halfway through! I've gotten as far as level 18... of 38 levels! This maze I have played at least 70 times, and I can't believe that I can't even get halfway through the waves. Clearly there's something here that I'm just fundamentally not getting. And it's got to be simple, because there's only missle, laser, and gun towers to be placed. So what's the secret? Because I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Erin

Anyone have a good strat for hard 1, The Eye?

The gun order are:
the two guns flanking the entrance
then wrap the guns around the inner circle
around the 5th gun you will need to upgrade one gun one level
after the 5th wave just drop in everything you can

Have not yet beat hard 2, although getting VERY close

Hard 8, See screen shot, place blasters, then missile towers, upgrade missiles to second highest level.

Hard 5 screen shot is attached. place the blasters first and the missile towers at the top then the right two missile towers then drop in towers as you have cash

That's not working for me either, the fast mover star always runs in and kills me too fat on round 4, do i need to start him off early or something?

[wiesse]

You need to do an upgrade to your last blaster just as that star comes around the corner to take him out. It is very tricky but possible.

[wiesse]

Hard Level Wins all but level 2

NOTE: Level 6 I used a lot of Vortex nodes to clear out last few creeps.

NOTE: Laser towers should shoot down a straight line AFTER the creeps pass them, much more bang for the buck.

I shoot them from the back as well. Most folks already know, but for the new players, if you shoot from the front you will notice that the tower will track the first creep and you miss the ones behind, whereas if you shoot from the back, *most* of the time (depending on surrounding paths) you will keep shooting in a line hitting more creeps for a longer period.

[cycler15]

Thanks Wiesse, I was stuck on Medium Level 2 for almost a week. I must have played that level 20 times and tried almost every strategy. My problem was that I kept focusing on the laser towers since there are so many straight lines in the level. Your screenshot made me try using mostly missile towers and that worked! Beat the level on my first try with the new strategy and won with only 2 lives lost.

Normally I wouldn't look at other people's winning strategy, but that level was really frustrating me and I refuse to move on to other levels until I beat each one in order.

[Stykman]

This is the only td game thats actually challenging

I need a strategy for lvl 6 on easy

[Kadath]

Made it work, thanks! I actually upgraded #2 on round 1 and it helped to have the towers ready to place as the money arrived.

I surrounded the "resistor" (bottom half zig-zags) with laser towers. They will get a lot of crossfire damage. I filled the top sawtooth with blasters and put missiles along the middle section. Then it's just a matter of upgrading.

[sygg]

Finally beat hard2!!!

[Prab]

Hi all... I just got the game and have been playing for a few minutes.

I'm just wondering, when you say you beat a level, is it passing the level or passing with no lives lost? I haven't played for very long but I keep losing a few lives even on the first level on easy :'-(

[wiesse]

Finally beat hard2!!!

How????
Do you have a screen capture?

Please help!!!

[sygg]

Hard2 :)

[wiesse]

Hard2 :)

That has been more or less my strat for a while. Still can't do it. I guess one of these games I will just survive past 30...

[Kadath]

I can usually get to 29 or so using something very similar but it never pans out. The build strat on this one must be razor thin....

[GreenLightJerky]

I finally made it past Medium 2. I dont even want to know what Hard 2 is like. OUCH.

[Man of Mystery]

ehh that's what i've been doing on hard2 since my first try, though with a lot more missiles and a lot less upgrades on them towards the end

[ithork]

Shouldn't the next update be out soon? Seems like it's been a while since it was submitted...

I'm starting work on the 1.2 update now!

-- David

[Kadath]

Woot, downloading now!

[owl70]

Hard2
I was struggling with this strategy, but finally managed to beat it.

I updated each smaller area fully to level 6 before updating the next area. And in each area I updated the missile towers together (all to level 2, all to lvl 3...)

So first the triangle above the target, then the area up-right to it. Then down-right and down-left.

I didn't even use lasers. With 9 lives left.

[Kadath]

Hard2 :)

Tried this a million different ways, no clue what I am doing wrong, tried getting all sections up to 6 one at a time, tried getting em all up to level 7 one at a time, tried placing em all in a row then upgrading one at a time, still fails. I've gotten to level 30 a ton of times but still no dice.

Also, getting all 6 in the first triangle is still a real bitch even with 1.1

[sygg]

Upgrade to lvl6 only, and up triangle first. later on, just need upgrade as fast as you can.
:D

[Notinuse]

Finally beat Hard 2 using pretty much the same strategy listed here with a couple variations. Hopefully the next update has some new levels in it.

[nsxdavid]

Yup, my intention for the 1.2 Update is to add some new levels... and surprises. :)

-- David

[Erin]

Woohoo! I beat Hard 2! With seven lives left!

Thank you to the original poster who posted the screenshot, it was very helpful.

As a lot of people are stuck on this, let me be clear on the order of things.

0. I followed the screenshot on page 5 pretty closely, except that under the two laser towers in the upper right corner (still outside the paths, though) I put a vortex tower. I attached the two laser towers to that vortex tower, and I never upgraded the vortex tower. It made all the difference.

1. Build the upper inside triangle, the two laser towers, and the vortex tower. Upgrade everything to level 6. Upgrade the whole set at one time, so that you don't move anything to level 4 (for example) until everything is at level 3. Yes, DO upgrade the shock tower to level 6, it's crucial. Do NOT upgrade the vortex tower, it's just not necessary.

2. Build the four missile towers in the upper right corner, along the straight edge of the triangle. Upgrade all four together to level 6.

3. Once you've done this, you're going to have about 15 seconds to build out the lower half of the map before creeps start escaping from the upper half. Do not hesitate! Building out the lower half FAST is crucial to success.

4. Start the lower half by building out the four missile towers along the right edge of the triangle. Upgrade the whole set to level 6.

5. Here's where things get tricky. Fill in the middle of the triangle with a shock tower up top and two missile towers down below. (You might want to practice this a few times, because squeezing all three of these towers into the lower, smaller triangle is HARD.) Throw four more missile towers as fast as humanly possible outside the triangle to the upper left. Then upgrade, upgrade, upgrade! The money is going to be flowing in faster than you can spend it, and even with seven towers to upgrade (the three inside the triangle and the four outside the triangle) you're going to be constantly upgrading. Keep your head, don't look at the creeps, and just upgrade as fast as you can.

6. Victory!

Good luck!

First I hated this game because it was too hard. Then realized it wasnt hard, it was challenging. Now I LOVE IT! Have a few levels on MED to beat still and havent managed to beat a hard level yet. I actually tried the last level of hard just for laughs and acutally made it to level 40 or 40 but ended up losing. Cant stop playing!! Look forward to future updates.

[Tinsel]

Can anyone give me a build order for Medium 4? I've gotten farther on my own strategy than trying to following the screenshot, but I still haven't been able to beat it.

I wish I could help but I dont even remember how I beat level 4! :) I cant for the life of me beat level 2 or 3 of medium. Those are the only 2 levels I have left to beat on medium. I beat 2 levels of hard so far. I have tried everything! :)

I know how you feel. The great thing is that they're all beatable, and the feeling of beating one is... well, orgasmic! This game has an incredible feeling of satisfaction when you win.

It's kind of funny though. I've beaten every level, and only needed screenshots for Hard 2, 5, and 8. But when I went back to Medium 4 to remember how I did it... I have no clue! Meaning the replayability/frustration factor is very high for this game...

That I may be able to help with! Thats one of my most recent victories. I believe I just load up the upper/right side of the map with level 5 missle launchers. It was insane. For level 9 I loaded up with laser cannons. I know its vague but missles for l8 and lasers for l9. Good luck!

I'm off to try level 2 and 3 AGAIN! Maybe my 50th try will be the charm! I hope I can get to bed by 3am! :)

I was stuck on those levels for awhile as well. Unfortunately I don't remember specific details because I passed those levels over a week ago. I just remember using a few laser towers and lots of missile towers for level 2. For level 3 I stacked 3 laser towers on each of the main straighaways and then used missile and vortox towers. Hope that helps a bit.

I JUST beat level 2 and that's pretty much what I had to do. I had 4 level 7 lasers and a bunch of level 5 missle towers. Thanks for the tip for level 3. I may try it tonight. I need to go to bed at a reasonable time!! :)

[Phreakuency]

I'm passing more hard levels than medium, so I guess there's something I'm doing wrong.

Still annoying that my blue laser towers at the end/base of the map still point and track the baddies as they start the map (even though it can't reach them) rather than the one's heading to the base. It means a small delay in actually shooting the correct guys.

Still love the game though.

Would pay twice as much for an update or sequel.

Thanks! I tried your strategy and beat the level on the first try! I did lose 5 lives within the first 10 levels but only lost 2 more the rest of the way.

I always thought missile towers wasn't a good strategy for this map because the creeps move so fast and when they go off screen the missile is wasted unless your tower is high enough. I guess you just need to try EVERY possible strategy until you figure it out.

Hard 2 is my new medium 2.

[saatchi]

Hard 2 is just sooo khzhbj45%$%TJV. Tried a billion times, i never get past 30.

[cycler15]

Finally beat hard 2 after around 30 tries. Just followed the screenshot posted in an earlier page and won with 5 lives remaining. Then I went and beat hard 3 on the first try. I don't think the order of the levels is correct in terms of difficulty... still an awesome game.

[snoderlye]

I cannot get past Medium 2 no matter how I play it! AUGH! I must of tried over 200 times by now.

Use a lot of the red towers and the blue towers where it makes sense

[snoderlye]

Do you need to level up the towers?

I usually start with two greens and and two blues in the first turn and keep adding blues where they make sense. Then I try to get one or two yellows. Then add red ones. But those little blue pac man baddies get me along with the red cubes every single time!

[Spiral75]

I know that I cant get past lvl 5 on easy mode. It gets really hard. I am kind of new to the game and I love it....but its hard. Sentinal is really good also but geoDefense gives a new look to the tower defense type game so I am hoping I can figure out a good strat out!

[frim]

Put in as many red towers as you can before you start upgrading them.. At the end you'll get a lot of money so you won't be able to build new towers, but you can use it to upgrade, as that's faster to do

[snoderlye]

OK, that time was better. ;) Died on 20/24. That is the closest I have gotten so far. Thanks! I will keep on trying and banging my head against the wall when I lose.

[mattyboy80]

I've finished them all except hard 2.

Followed the earlier strategy but I always JUST lose out

[Elysium]

I don't think the order of the levels is correct in terms of difficulty... still an awesome game.


Hard 2 is easily the hardest level in the game. I also had a lot of trouble with Hard 1, due to the towers not attacking the farthest along creep. It's incredibly frustrating having a set up that "should" work, and then having your stupid tower allow you to die while it goes and shoots someone else (like with one life, it should EVER not attack the guy about to kill you :rolleyes:), however it's probably a lot easier now that you can manual target.

I had trouble with Medium 2, but not nearly as much as everyone else it seems.

Yes, I found out, that if you build a lot of level 1 lasers and link them to 2 vortex towers, you win very easily. That should be changed. This way you can beat every level except Hard 2 and the ones without vortex towers of course.

Btw: I have 11 Million Points on Hard 9

[ithork]

Any one know if the developer is still working on the game? Haven't heard anything from him in a while. No updates on his website for a month...

[TheOrioles33]

Hard 2 is easily the hardest level in the game.

I have to disagree. Level 3 of medium (hat) is by far the most frustrating. I cannot get any further than level 20/21 and thats only HALF way. I always make it to 20/21 without losing a life and then everything goes to heck in a hand basket. Anyone have any strategies for me please? I only have 3 more levels to beat on hard and that darn hat level. Driving me nuts!!

[nate]

dont underestimate placing lasers along the bottom, top, and horizontally (on top) of the lanes and upgrading it fully. I"ve played hat for so many times and keep on losing because i didn't have enough laser towers. i think towards the end i had at least 2 on each of the 6 spots u can put it on. Fill the middle with red cannons lvl 6.

the very hard part is the last level where the money comes so fast and u just have to put more red cannons on the side cause u're runining out of space..and prey u dont let them through (the lasers help alot alot to take down the ones close to the exits)

[Behold]

The way I [finally] beat The Hat:

• Multiple laser towers along the long vertical axes - 3 each at the bottom, 2 at the top.

• Red Missile Towers in the inside

• Entire perimeter interspersed with Green Cannons and yellow slowing towers.

• Vortex Towers at each of the 4 main corners

Once this structure is in place, its a question of keeping up with your revenue, and systematically upgrading.

LOVE this game!

[saatchi]

I agree 100%, hard 2 is easily the most difficult level. I've beaten every single one except hard 2. Not that its impossile, but u cant deny the fact that hard 2 takes the most finetuning in order to survive the final wave.

But yea, the game is so good... unbelievable. No game even comes close in the appStore. Dying for new levels over here.

thought i had posted this.....

if the developer is still active / reading this i for one wont complain if he releases the new levels as geo defense 2 !

i would happily pay again for this, its one of the best games on the iphone :)

[KidTwist]

Wow. I need a video of Easy 6 or something (or build order). I just can't get past that first wave of fast guys (3). This one is haunting me while mediums are easy. What am I missing?

[Kadath]

Still stuck on Hard 2. Tried a million different things, with vortexes and without. I can get to 30 all the time but always wipe on that stage....

Anyone have a good strategy for getting the six items consistently in the first box? Usually I can get 4 no sweat, rarely five but often my placement isnt sharp enough to get all six...

[saatchi]

Yea, start with the missile on the top left or top right of the box. Or, even safer but a weaker start, get a shock tower in the very middle of the top line, and 2 missiles next to it.

[cycler15]

Finished the game. The strategy of using a ton of level 1 laser towers and linking them to a vortex makes the game too easy. I beat almost all the levels on hard with that strategy fairly easily. I almost wish I hadn't read the post that showed that strategy. Now I guess I need to re-try all the hard levels without using vortexes as an added challenge.

I always start with the bottom one, then the middle right, middle left, upper right, upper left, and the shock tower last. Start with the crosshair for the first one (bottom) right on the cross of the grid, and wiggle a bit until you can place it. Then for all the other ones, make sure you are placing them as close to the other towers as possible (look for where the "too close" warning dissapears), THEN get it the closest distance from the wall. Don't start with the wall distance, you should be able to place the towers almost touching each other, which usually doesn't happen if you measure from the wall first.

To the guy who says that Medium 3 is harder than Hard 2... have you beaten hard 2? And if so did you use the step by step instructions posted here to do it?

Holy cow! Thanks!!! I will give that a shot. I had something similar to that but never had a chance to upgrade them all. Seems like once I get to level 20/21 with all my lives, they just all go at once. Driving me nuts!! Thanks again! I will update the thread to let you know how I do.

[derdude74]

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.

[snoderlye]

I am stuck on Medium 8 Bad Plumbing! Any hints on this one? Thanks!

[deckard]

Man all this talk about geoDefense and it's on sale for a buck right now; I'm officially off the fence and buying it.

[soup]

deckard !

a wise decision :)

[spag]

finally

Congrats. I beat it yesterday for the first time after I swear, playing it 100 times. My final layout looks very similar to yours.

Here is what I did, and it almost seemed too easy when I did it.

I built the upper triangle with the 5 missles and shock. I got them all to level 6. I then built the four upper right missles, and rather than building them all to level 6 together, I did just the top one first, then down one at a time.

By level 25 or 26, when the creeps are getting ready to break through the upper defenses, I build the lower right tower. And I build it up to level 6, then the next, then the next, and while all hell is breaking loose, I build the lower triangle, and then start throwing the towers to the left of that as well, and just upgrading like a mofo till the High Score message appears.

Probably ended with most of the lives and about $500 left. No clue how to save a screen or I would have grabbed it....I was so relieved.

[spag]

While Hard 2 finally succumbed to my relentless playing....

THE FREAKIN X FACTOR is still driving me insane. I've seen the end game shot for this before, but I simply can't believe that did it. Maybe it's the specific build order, but I can never put enough damage into the creeps to keep them from hitting the base. Driving me nuts...

[snoderlye]

OK, it is freaking impossible for me to get through Medium 8 - Bad Plumbing. I just can't do it. EVERY way I try is no good. The baddies ALWAYS get me! AUGH!

Somebody help!!!

I get it where it starts out good I keep building but the baddies get by every time!!!

okay
try the following advise.

no shocks (ver low effectivity, senseless in this level i do believe)
no rockets (the same ...)
one blaster (also no really good weapon, but you need it at first)

and only lasers
all around the centre of the X

15 for one laser
7 for the upgrades

the first upgrade is very effective !!! because its faster to reload!!!
always upgrade at buying the laser.

i think 20-30 lasers will do the rest
with further partial upgrading for 15 bucks

[d4l3]

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

They should make a fix turret laser that you control manually.

I didn't even use lasers. With 9 lives left.

[Thundernoob]

For that guy who was stuck on Bad plumbing level theres a trick that works on allot of levels i beat it losing only 2 lifes. I massed missile towers but only upgrade them to level 6 level 7 shoots slow but level 6 shoots 3 that can change targets smartly. this actually works on allot of levels besides Hard 1 LoL

I doubt this strategy works. I have tried it numerous times with the same result. FAILURE. Any new ideas would be appreciated. I wonder how many people have actually beat this level. I like a challenge as much as the next guy but this level seems ridiculously hard given the fact you get no information on tower strength with each upgrade.

Maybe I am just not executing it very well. Thought I had followed the plan accordingly but alway seem to fail on the 30th level. Will try again later. Wish I could come up with my own strategy to beat it but there doesn't seem to be one I haven't tried.

[snoderlye]

I got through Bad Plumbing Medium 8 last night!!! Woohoo! FINALLY!

I had to totally change my way of thinking to beat it. That is what is so cool about this game. It forces you to use different tatics to beat each level. I was using too many lasers. When I switched to using more missles I made it further, so I used mostly missles and shockers a couple lasers and no blasters. Wow. This game rocks!

Thanks Thundernoob! I did find that out last night. Level 7 missles hurt more than help. I admit, I went nuts with the missles. There were barely any empty spaces left!

[Habakuk]

Okay I'll try to describe how to win level 9/hard:

http://forums.toucharcade.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2372&d=1238436214

Begin with the three laser towers upper left (okay after two you'll have no more money just wait a bit for the third one). Put them neatly and exactly in a line with the straight way and connect them each with a vortex tower (put vortex anywhere in the middle of the straight way - don't need to be very exact) and update the lasers once ($7). Update each laser tower just once at the beginning right after placing it. No need to update a vortex tower ever in this level.

When you have those three lasers and three vortex installed proceed with the two lasers at the bottom left - again lined up neatly with the first long straight way. Always connect each laser with a vortex and update the laser once (that remains valid for the complete level). Then put a yellow magnetic tower into the first bend and update it once. When you're done with those five lasers, five vortex and one yellow the creeps will be amused for a time. No creep will escape.

Now you can relax a bit and have time to build the rest of the lasers and vortex. Begin at the top right as soon as you have enough money. Look at the screenshot where to place them.

When you have placed ten laser/vortex combos start to update them more and more (beginning with the first ones), put more of the yellow magnetic towers, build the rest of the combos and throw the missile towers in the center of the screen (same here: each missile tower connect with a vortex) and update them. You have to balance it well out: Updating and building the rest of the towers. There will be enough money.

If you have questions please ask.

[drjay]

I deliberately didn't use vortex, but that will make it even easier. Lost that one life out of laziness, I could have avoided it.

[Xecutor]

Here is another (simple?) solution to hard9.
Two lasers for easy start.
Than lvl1 rockets. Than upgrade everything evenly.
Some manual targeting during fast levels.
All rockets are lvl5!

[Habakuk]

Ha. Another blaster-free solution for 9/H. It's maybe easier and you made a tiny bit more money. Fine.

I am working on a complete different way for tons of money, starting (with placing towers) at the END of the way. I am almost done and will let you know. One thing is sure: It doesn't work with NO missiles (I tried several times with lots of lasers and five or six yellows. No way.

Very interesting the rather different approaches. Love that game.

I can't for the life of me get past wave 21... i've tried everything! Relying on upgraded missiles, upgraded lasers, mixture of both, and I always die at the same point. They all rush at the same time and i get destroyed...

i even tried building the booster ones and detonating them over and over, and that didn't work! I've been fine up till now.. am I missing something?

That screenshot from before is great and all, but it just shows the winning layout, which is pretty much identical to how i have mine set up... What am I missing??

PS does anyone upgrade the missile turrets to full strength? Once they reach that level the missiles just fly around and don't seem to hit a target! Seems like a waste of money?

Thanks in advance for any help!! I'm getting frustrated! :p

PS It's tax season at work and I was able to slowly play this game throughout the day, and it definitely made the day go by faster!

[Elysium]

The Hat is really not very hard. You get soooo much money. It's just that by waves 20/21 you have to have enough level 6 missiles to take out the bum rush, then it's smooth sailing.

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/6005/img0021p.png

Start with the lasers, switch to the missiles around wave 10 or so. Those laser positions are pretty arbitrary, you can do different stuff with the lasers and still win (such as placing less and upgrading more). Only upgrade missiles to level 6.

After that just keep on adding missiles (you can add more lasers too if you want, you get TONS of money).

I did it!! thanks to your help! I was almost premature, as i was typing my victory speech on here a couple creeps snuck by so i ended up beating it with only 3 lives left... i guess the secret was to focus on rockets, just like you said! Great work, that is a really fun level, but 30-40 aren't that fun because you're just spamming the enemies, instead of focusing on strategy..

I hope the later levels are just as fun! Thanks again for your help!

[Elysium]

Great work, that is a really fun level, but 30-40 aren't that fun because you're just spamming the enemies, instead of focusing on strategy..

Right, I'm not sure why he didn't just end the level at wave 22, past that there's really no way to lose as long as you keep spending money. I loaded up the left side with so many missiles that no enemy even makes the first bend let alone gets all the way around to take a life.

[Xecutor]

I've just finished hard10.
From the very first attempt!
But still can't beat hard2.

(including cheating with upper field border),
but starting from 25th wave 1-2 creeps do always leak...

Don't know if this has been discussed already, *not going through 11 pages* but did anybody else figure out you can manual aim your turrets? That's what I do with the laser turret when it starts aiming at something else.

If you're talking about the line that comes out of the towers, that doesn't make them aim. That's to link them to the rainbow things you get later. I thought they were target things too.

Please have a look at the description in iTunes. I am using that feature regulary when I want to make lots of money by killing the creeps short before exit.

Thanks Wiesse, I was stuck on Medium Level 2 for almost a week. I must have played that level 20 times and tried almost every strategy. My problem was that I kept focusing on the laser towers since there are so many straight lines in the level. Your screenshot made me try using mostly missile towers and that worked! Beat the level on my first try with the new strategy and won with only 2 lives lost.

Normally I wouldn't look at other people's winning strategy, but that level was really frustrating me and I refuse to move on to other levels until I beat each one in order.
hah i was looking through this thread and same exact thing with me im gonna try that new strategy now

Somehow I've been defaulted into hardcore mode on mine, and spending all my cash littering and upgrading the map for Medium 2 - gordy - I can't seem to beat it.

Pretty sure the game is defaulted into hardcore mode, at least it was for me when I bought it. I have yet to play a game on easy mode and I've beaten all the easy levels, I have like 2-3 left to complete on medium, and I've finished like 3 hard levels.

I might go back at some point and try playing it on easy mode just to see how different it is.

[Wegmans]

Now that i've beaten them all, the game isn't as fun :(

once you know the secrets, it's not too much fun to play around trying different strategies... at least for me

I need some level packs!

There is no "normal" mode. Hardcore IS "normal." The other option is Novice mode.

As for beating Gordy, there are multiple strategies posted in this thread. The one you have highlighted may work, but is woefully inefficient.

[Stykman]

guys i still need medium lvl 1 Speed Run

any helps plz

[cooscoos]

Woohoo! I beat Hard 2! With seven lives left!

As a lot of people are stuck on this, let me be clear on the order of things.

- Erin

Erin, thanks so much for the step-by-step on Hard 2 Angular View. The screenshot was a great start, but the instructions are absolutely essential. You don't have a whole lot of time in-between the last few steps, but if you keep your head down and just plug away it will work.

Finally I beat Hard 2! This game is so addictive. Best $1 I ever spent!!!

Thanks!

[H2Finally]

Finally beat all levels! Great game!

For next versions, in addition to more/diff levels/ puzzles, how bout some kind of "endless mode" like Fieldrunner's (how high/many waves can u beat?)

And not trying to be a clone-- but I would enjoy the best of GD mixed w the best of FR like smaller icons/larger map w zoom/pinch action for fine placement of weapons -- useful to fit the 6 weapons in Hard 2 top triangle?

(btw, tip for those still stuck, start from top left missile, make sure it's as high as possible by starting at center & "push" till flush to top before moving flushing to left & droping it. Then top right missles, then center yellow tower, then middle 2 - which seemed to me fits "higher" if placed slightly away from walls, and finish w bottom last missile).

And finally, MORE WEAPONS PLEASE!! :D

Thanks again for great fun!

[gtcharlie]

I too finally beat hard level 2 and actually used less towers than I thought I would have too. Instead methodically updated almost all missile towers to level 5 and it just seemed to work.

Amazing how much easier the levels seem now when I am replaying them and understand the game much better. Truly an amazing value at $1.

[cooscoos]

They should make a fix turret laser that you control manually.

Technically, the laser towers you can control. If you click on creep the towers will target that creep. Found that out the hard way on Medium 6 when I finally figured out you had to target all the creeps except the lead one (the 'head' of the snake).

But I know what you mean -- a tower that only shoots in whatever direction you build, such as straight down a long path, would be nice.

[cooscoos]

Hard Level Wins all but level 2
http://www.mdouglas.com/img/GeoDefense-Hard6.jpg

You posted this screenshot win for Hard 6 (X Factor), which is an interesting strategy, but I couldn't get it to work (perhaps I didn't have the right build order). So I used one canon and then all lasers -- 26 in total, upgraded only once -- and finally beat it.

I've now beaten all levels. Time for version 2!! :)

Wow, that is IMPRESSIVE. I can't believe you pulled that off.

[learjetzoom]

I have to assume that this is on normal mode and not hardcore mode correct?

Somehow I've been defaulted into hardcore mode on mine, and spending all my cash littering and upgrading the map for Medium 2 - gordy - I can't seem to beat it.

Just curious. I read around 10,11 pages deep and saw no mention of it.. is everyone playing this on hardcore mode or normal mode?
Its in hardcore mode - I have a highscore for it!

I cant beat level 1 of Hard though..

[cooscoos]

For next versions, in addition to more/diff levels/ puzzles, how bout some kind of "endless mode" like Fieldrunner's (how high/many waves can u beat?)

And not trying to be a clone-- but I would enjoy the best of GD mixed w the best of FR like smaller icons/larger map w zoom/pinch action for fine placement of weapons -- useful to fit the 6 weapons in Hard 2 top triangle?

I agree completely with the "endless mode" -- I think that's a great idea. Keep trying to see how far you can get and the creeps just keep coming.

However, I despire field runners map movement. Personally, I think as fast paced as this game gets, having to move the screen itself would be crazy. I would prefer the next version add an "endless mode" and more weapons.

Oh, and some documentation on the upgrades would be nice. :)

[cooscoos]

I have to assume that this is on normal mode and not hardcore mode correct?

.. is everyone playing this on hardcore mode or normal mode?

If the screen shot says "New High Score" then you know it's in hard code mode because novice mode doesn't record high scores.

Funny, I didn't even know there was a novice mode until I read about it here. I have finally beaten all the levels and went back and played some of the harder ones on novice mode . . . it should be called tutorial mode because you cannot lose!! :rolleyes:

[pvsparty]

Finally Beat Hard 2. I had trouble for the longest time even following the setup and strategy posted here. Ultimately, I was able to beat it by following the steps posted by Erin(THANKS!) with one exception, I only upgraded the two lasers to level 3. This way you have more time & money to build up the lower four missle towers to level 6 before the creeps start breaking through. Once the bottom four are at level 6, start building and upgrading the last 5 missle towers with shock as fast as possible. I concentrated my last four missle towers close to the base also.

[sygg]

If you finished all maps and still looking for some fun out of this game, I suggest to play those maps again to try beating it without losing life. It's great fun as well.

[H2Finally]

My Hard 6:

[ta11on]

Strategy really depends on the map you are playing. I tend to place down fewer towers, but upgrade heavily.

I just wish a pause feature would be added, but while paused you could still place towers, and sell them for full price if you just placed it while still in pause mode.

[Jelaludo]

My Hard 6:

congrats on the hard6, I've been stuck on that one for a while and I'll try your nice symmetrical setup.

did you know that by selecting a creep, you can choose to focus fire on it?
has anyone used that function?

[Habakuk]

did you know that by selecting a creep, you can choose to focus fire on it?

The developer announced it here, I've posted screenshot (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=172670&postcount=151) of the advice in iTunes and so on.

has anyone used that function?

It's one of the most interesting and obviously most overseen functions in the latest version of geoDefense and I use it a lot. Not only it gives you a "minor control over creep target in an emergency" but also if you have accomplished a level with all lives safed the next challenge could be to make a lot of points. To get the high multipliers arrange your strategy that the creeps die just very short before the exit (x10 x20 x50).

If you tap on the creep esp. the laser guns will aim immediately on it. But sometimes it's hard to hit them because the fireworks are so dense that you can hardly see the creeps (esp. the fast ones) in the turmoil.

Please have a look at the screenshot it's Hard 9. See the score I've made! Who got more?

A nice feature for the future could be different online highscore lists (very motivating and high replay value), world champions in challenges like: Who rescued all lives with most money left? Who needed the most/least tries (bad, forget it ;))? Who made the highest score (w/wo all lives rescued)? Daily, weekly, monthly, all-time filters.

[holly_isyourmaster]

Just wanted to say this is a wicked game
So simple yet so addictive I've got some ofvthevmore expensive and graphical games and the get played less then this. Love games like this like tap defense and fieldrunners. Oh and thanks for screen shots really helped me!!!!

[pvsparty]

Post your top 5 most difficult levels. My order is based on the number of tries it took me to beat each level. This is kind of tricky since your basically a Jedi after beating Hard 2 which makes the rest of the hard levels a relative cakewalk.
1. Hard 2
2. Med 2
3. Hard 1
4. Med 8
5. Hard 8

[cooscoos]

Forget drinkability, this game has playability! I thought it would be over once I (finally) finished all the levels, but now I'm going back and trying to get high scores by placing towers toward the end of the run. Except for Hard 2 -- I'll never try that one again! :)

[Lynnbzzzz]

I still cant beat medium level 3 (hat)!! Why?!!! I have tried so many combinations. I think my game is broke. :)

I finally beat the Hat! Took me probably 30 tries. I think the secret was not to look up at the creeps but instead just focus on upgrading as fast as you can. I upgraded everything to level 6 that I could as fast as I could. I still had lots of cash left at the end that I couldn't spend fast enough. Here is a final screen shot.

[Aurora]

I was going to get this game when it was on sale for $0.99. A few minutes later when I opened up iTunes to purchase it, it popped back up to $3.99 without any announcement >__> Eh that killed the incentive to buy it, pity it was a pretty good game. I loved the sound effects lol.

[soup]

this game is one of the few thats worth 9.99 :)

[Fabs]

I don't get it. The only medium level I can't crack!
Can anyone help me, please? I tried all setups advised here, and still can't get it to work.
Is there any particular trick to do it? Do I have to use Vortex light bridges, or what? It's driving me crazy...

I remember really having a hard time with this level also. Finally beat it using one of the strategies mentioned here(can't remember which) and went on to the other levels. After beating hard 2 which to my mind is about 10 times harder than any other level in the game I went back and played medium 2 and it didn't seem that hard. I used the method of many missiles upgraded to level 5 for the most part and beat it on the first try. Don't upgrade to level 6 because it seems to be a waste of money on this level. On my initial play through I thought there was a trick to beating each level but that really is not the case. Multiple solutions are definitely possible.

[Rexinator]

This................... is.................. a.............. really................... hard............ game.........

[TheOrioles33]

This................... is.................. a.............. really................... hard............ game.........

I agree Rex but once you start to figure out strategies and what not, you will not b able to put it down. I've spent many nights playing until 2 or 3 am just trying to beat one level. The game is worth every penny!!

[snoderlye]

Yes, this game causes lack of sleep! Cause you start a level and you cannot put it down until you have cleared the level!

This game ROCKS!! :D

[Fabs]

So, I guess I must be doing something wrong.
Couple of tactical questions:
Missile Towers: Close to curb or not?
Laser towers are recommended here to be placed to shoot after the creeps, and not at the incoming ones, but I can't tell what's better.
Is Upgrading superior to more towers?

[Xecutor]

Is Upgrading superior to more towers?
In general - more towers is more damage/$ efficient.
While most of attack radius is utilized.
Some levels IMHO are about careful towers placement
and efficient space usage.

[H2Finally]

Is Upgrading superior to more towers?Diff levels require diff combination. On very fast levels (straight lanes, fast enemies), more is better. On slow levels (roundabout / dead-end laned, slow but powerful bogies), usually upgrading works better.

The tighter the maze, the more important to reach optimum # of missiles vs upgrading.

In general missiles work best, though a few lasers never hurt. Green guns work better for very short mazes (where neither missiles nor lasers can charge/reload fast enough).

Yellow towers seemed to work better w few but upgraded, since they are expensive but do no actual damage.

I've stopped using the spiral/rainbow thingy since they seem to be more of a cheat for novices (i.e. linking many lasers / weapons to even 1 seemed to increase damage potential exponentially).

At the end try diff combos & see how far u get w each, & just keep restarting the same level until u have better idea of what each can accomplish.

[Jelaludo]

Anybody else felt a bit disappointed by H10?

I had quite an hard time on most of the Hard Levels, then the final level comes and... first try, not a single creep made it through...

that's it?

I could enjoy an option whereby, once you've finished a level and have all those towers set up, you could choose "unleash hell" and have new waves upon waves of creeps coming through.

[Xecutor]

Actually except for H2, most of hard levels are not so hard (IMHO).
And yes, H10 is way too easy.
And yes, it would be nice to have unlimited mode.

[LesPaul]

oohhhh i would die for unlimited mode in geo defense. i cant stop playing this game.

Haha nice. Can't believe you beat Hard 2 with so few towers. I swear, that level took me 50+ tries to beat.

The screen for hard 12 is hilarious btw. :)

On another note: now that i've beat the game, I can't see playing it until there's an infinite play mode. Going for score is way too hard on many levels. Hell, some of them, I swear there's such a limited number of ways to beat them that you can't really switch to build-near-the-end mode.

Hey David!

Beat the game last night, finally. I have a few suggestions if you don't mind 'em:

1) Shuffle levels around to make difficulty progression a smooth curve

Medium 2 and Hard 2 were probably the two hardest levels in the game (for me at any rate). Most of the rest (with a couple exceptions, none of which are higher-numbered levels) only took a few tries.

2) Infinite play mode!

Please, oh, please. It's a terrific game, but see my post above, if you don't mind. I genuinely think that going for score only really "works" on the certain levels. I'm no strategy expert by any means, so there's probably a lot of clever strats that totally invalidate this. As clever as the score system is, though...I want infinite waves! (preferably randomized creeps)

3) Slow effect is overpowered

As much as I hate to say it, I think the recent 1.2 change to the yellow towers made them a tad too strong. Painful to say because the game is plenty hard as it is without calling for nerfs. :D

But I think the main problem is the stacking. It's a TERRIFIC idea to allow them to stack, but the effect maybe needs a slight softening. Maybe just a tweak to the slow "coefficient" would do the trick.

That said, they were too weak before 1.2, so if you did tweak 'em a bit, don't hurt the poor lil' guys too bad!

4) Blaster towers are weak

Just a tad, imo. For the most part, (the nicely rebalanced ) rocket towers can often be better than blasters even around the tight corners that should probably favor them. The lvl 7 change was a great move, but maybe there's room for a little more love for team green?

5) Stickiness of placement is a bit awkward
This is pretty minor. But I often feel handicapped by my big, clumsy fingers. The snap-to-grid effect when placing a tower is pretty nice, but it often sticks to iffy locations (when you're trying to maximize space efficiently). Maybe an option to turn it off? Or stickiness that "prefers" the tightest corner fits possible..?


That all aside, I LOVE this game. You did a phenomenal job. It's easily one of (probably THE) best TD game. With a bit more replayability, I'd end up with the game on my iphone dock, I think. :)

In the meantime, I'll be anxiously awaiting updates--and your next game!

PLEASE make that an on/off feature. i personally don't see any use in that feature. it makes placing towers in tight places a nightmare - especially when creep rushes in and you have to place towers quite fast.

maybe if someone could explain the benefit of grid-snapping, than maybe i could better live with it ;)

btw: i still love the game. had to refresh my iphone and lost my scores and game advance. rushed through medium level 1-7 w/o loosing a live. (what took me sooo long the last time?? :) - or became the game easier with v1.2?

[timvanschouwen]

I think the Yellow Taser Coils are indeed a little too overpowered. It shouldn't be this easy, imo:

I feel too that geoDefense is too easy now and I am almost sorry for the creeps. Here the two lasers at the bottom had nothing to do:

Angular view - Level 2 HARD

Ha! You've got 20 points less than me at score (compare our screenshots). :D And I've saved more money too.

[Elysium]

Yeah this is kind of ridiculously easy now. Just beat Hard 2 with only 3 lasers, and a bunch of shocks bring creeps to a standstill (plus 1 vortex). Shocks should just go back to the way they were before, there was nothing wrong with them, and they weren't underpowered. Using one at level 7 was good enough to win on most levels before, not sure why they were buffed up.

Still need to up the mana cost for a laser special shot. It should be at least doubled or tripled.

Agreed... before the update I could get close to but never beat Hard Lv.2. Now with 3 yellow towers 3 lasers and a rocket tower I beat the hardest level in the game.... something is definitely wrong. The strategy is pretty much finished when you drop a yellow, doesn't matter what you build after that.

[gtcharlie]

Have to agree with everyones comments. The update made things way too easy. Beating Hard 2 wasn't even a challenge. I haven't gone through and played some of the other tough levels again but my guess is they won't be challenging anymore either. Glad I beat all the levels before the update.

Ditto here. I haven't played in a couple weeks, noticed the update, tried Hard 2 and beat it easily. Something is out of whack.

[gtcharlie]

The funny thing is I can see people buying this game now and thinking "Wow-- either I am really good at this game or all those people who reviewed it and said how hard it was must really be lame". Played a couple of the other hard levels and needless to say wiped out my previous high scores by a wide margin. Bring back the old GeoDefense please.

[Habakuk]

@dev:

Bring back the old GeoDefense please.

Ack. Leave difficulty as it was before the last update. Hard but very well balanced. With online scores then in some disciplines like...

1. Highest score with all lives saved.

2. Highest score with at least one live saved.

3. Most cash in bank with all lives saved.

4. Most cash in bank with at least one live saved.

5. Fewest attempts to accomplish a level ;) (bad, forget it, too indiscreet).

...or a combination of them.

New levels always welcome. Maybe let users create levels. Thx in advance.

[MaxPower]

Just got into this game and I love it. Probably my favorite ipod game so far. I love developing a unique strategy to beat every level. It is funny looking at screenshots to see the plans people came up with.

Everyone seems to have trouble with Hard2, but I think I beat that one on my second try. Hard1 took be at least 50 tries though... I'm surprised there areb't more people having trouble with that one. Even when I felt like I played it perfectly the last creep would sneak in with just a sliver of energy left. It is satisfying to come up with a strategy and see it work though.

I'd love to see some more levels added. Any word from the dev?

Also, what is the difference in hardcore and novice modes?

The gun order are:
the two guns flanking the entrance
then wrap the guns around the inner circle
around the 5th gun you will need to upgrade one gun one level
after the 5th wave just drop in everything you can

We are talking about Hard Level 1 - "The Eye"

I just can't do this level, it's the last one for me to complete for the whole game and it just wont work. I've upgraded to 1.2. Are there any other strats for this level?

[aaronsullivan]

I wonder if tweaks to the game have maybe made Hard 1 harder than it was? I was surprised to see people stuck on Hard 2, which I found much easier than Hard 1. Hard 1 took me forever.

I resorted to carefully releasing some creeps earlier so they wouldn't compete with guns at certain points.

However, I haven't tried it with the creep focus you can do. I didn't realize that was an option. It's not mentioned in-game is it? I'm a bit worried it could make the hard levels WAY easier. I mean... I thought it was genius to force me to release some creeps on top of each other to change the timing, but most people I guess would never have to do that? Maybe I made it harder than it had to be.

After Hard 1 I found the rest much more manageable, but still challenging. My wife is working on Hard 1 right now. :)

[daviddavid]

I just now beat every level on Geo Defense hardcore....I am a huge defense person, so most of these levels were pretty easy....all the easy ones I just zipped through, then I could get past about 5 of the medium ones and 2 of the hard ones on my first try...

Here is how to beat them:

Unlike most defense games, there is no interest, which really sucks....but to beat most of them its pretty easy....if you have one of the vectors that you can choose, then always go 2-3 laser and a vector, dont level them up...just always connect 2-3 lasers with a vector over and over and then you will win...
For the snake level, which was probably the 2nd hardest level for me I just used missles, all level ones...

THE EYE!!
This was the hardest level ever....I probably played most levels about 5 times till I beat them, but not this one....it took me at least 40-50 tries...
No remember these are all on hardcore, Novice is just way too easy

To beat the EYE!!!!

1. you build 3 (green) cannons, right near the beginning, right after the first str8 part curves down.

2. You upgrade them once each for $2

3. Everytime you get enough money to build another green one, DO IT!!! and upgrade it once. Build it right next to the the other one, so you are slowly building them around the inner circle of the eye.

4. After you fill up the eye, by then you should almost be done, build pretty much whatever you can, I choose to build 2 missles and upgrade a few past level 2 cannons, but its almost over at that point

*TIP* most of the time your guns will fire at the first one it sees and continue to fire at that one. But what you can do is direct any tower at any creep. All you do it click the tower and drag the line ( just like you do for the vector towers to connect them) and make it land on the creep. The tower has to be within range though. Once you do that it will stop firing at one creep and fire at the creep you want it to do....you will have to do this to win!!!!

[Dark NRG]

@DavidDavid Boy, I really love this game! Thanks for the tips, tho your tip for the Eye I've done and didn't work for me. I had to upgrade things at the entrance and then sell them to upgrade at the top of the eye, lots of logistical management and relocation/replacement of towers. I DID NOT KNOW I could draw a tower to a creep! THANKS!!!

[Wegmans]

i liked The Eye because it forced me to micromanage, and even if you lost, it was over very quickly.. i had no problem throwing away time playing that level, I would have liked to have seen more smaller levels..

My least favorite were the plumbing levels btw...
