explosive,

I, too, have found wave 31 for Curious Gorge to be impossible to win without special item or airstrike. In fact, I think there is a bug in the hit points of the enemies in this wave. Compared to the previous waves and the same enemy types, the hit points was dramatically higher and completely outgun any tower you can have.

So far, I am beginning to think that this level is unwinnable using ONLY the default available towers (that is, no special high-power towers that you get by backtracking to play harder levels first to open up these extra weapons). I seem to recall that the developer has mentioned that the level is beatable with only basic weapon types.

Is this a bug?

Heroic




4. Curious Gorge - Tip: Save Airstrike for Round 31

Casual



Heroic




5. Turbo Dryer (Heroic)





This can be done without items but I recommend having 2 mines just to be safe. The 3 key moments are using a mine on that single hovercraft, then again when the 2 tanks are together. When the 5 strong tanks come use your airstrike and you should complete it just in time.

Lavaflow

1. The Frying Pan

Casual (Toastmasters make Flamethrower/Pyro a bad choice)




Heroic (No lives lost)



2. Ring of Fire (Heroic)




3. High Steaks (Heroic)



4. Scrambled Eggs (Heroic)



5. Flash Fire (Heroic)



6. End of Doom (Heroic)





Hometown

1. Last Limbo - Final Waves



2. Be Mine

Not my videos but youtube link for solving these. - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuT3K67FC04wnG8vVZCxJQ

3. Mean Streets (Heroic)






Basically same strat as before only this time without upgrading the gatlings, get the 3 sparks down and continue the rest of the gatlings behind. Start upgrading the spark towers then get the next line of gatlings before putting more sparks down then simply wait till around 750 killed then call airstrike to finish up.

4. Hocus Poke Us (Heroic)

#1: Plant towers as numbered while fully upgrading each one first (if done right only 1 life will be lost).



#2: Plant new towers like shown and then upgrade while you wait for the box circled to open up, after it has you will need to sell the ones circled and adjust a new layout as seen in screen 3.



#3 At round 18 you should sell one of the gatlings and get the flamethrower there and you now have 2 places where you can now sell/replant to send them back and forth (red squares).



#4: Save all money for upgrading flamethrower and using the spots to redirect, then once the other boxes have gone add extra gatlings in as shown.



5. Carnie Guarding (Heroic)




You want to plant #1 right on them to kill them first round(first screen) then next upgrade #2 both times. Plant the next 3 towers and upgrade them, once you have $60 place 6 & 7, and then after that 8 & 9 and finish by placing towers in remaining spots. (Credit to Spock for this strat)

Heroic Tangled Express

Easy stage once you obtain the Shock tower. I leaked 3 Super troopers at a sliver of HP because I saved up $150 and was too lazy to drop another tower. The Plasma tower was unneeded as well. A laser tower was probably better suited. Can perfect this easily once I revisit this stage.

Heroic Curious Gorge
Lieutenant Sakai appears on this map and comes from the top left spawn. I did not kill him with this setup

This is a maze where Ice towers shine. My placement basically perma-slowed any units in the maze (something Oil can't do) and allowed my Shock/Pyro towers to do work. Make the Tesla towers at the top and bottom first to deal with the Helicopters. The two Teslas on the left part of my maze were created at the last wave to deal with the Blimp since I had $300+ saved up. The Ice tower on the bottom right is needed to slow the Helicopters around wave 40 I believe. Had another shock tower above the bottom one, but resold it for a Pyro. If the zerg waves leak, make more Shock/Pyro/Ice. If something big leaks make Teslas. I leaked the first couple of air waves and had no trouble after that. Never used the flamethrower so I might swap that out once I revisit this. Save air strike for round 31. The runners that wave are on god mode or something

Initial Heroic The Frying Pan

First try of this map and first time use of Mine tower. This map is all about your maze. The red spaces on the map also deal some damage to the runners. Since the entrance and exit are so close you don't have to worry about air units. I sent the runners to the left and made a U-turn path of Shock/Ice. Tesla tower near the end to deal with the tanks that get through. I leaked 2 early on cause I was mazing instead of upgrading. Can perfect this easily on a second try

Revisited Heroic Cardio Canyon

Quite a hard map even with Shock and Ice towers. Most of my leaks were from Helicopters so if I tried this again I'd focus more on Teslas instead of mazing or a couple of shock towers.

Can you show the layout you used to win this level on casual with DEFAULT towers (with NO replanting, of course) and NO lost of lives and no use of special items or airstrike? With airstrike, yes, it is doable, but I want to play a truly "perfect" game without using these powers which, according to the developer, is supposed to be doable.

The level is doable on casual with default towers(although very difficult) but tough/heroic on most maps without ice/spark is near impossible.

This is the best I could do with the earlier towers, had no choice but to use airstrike.




After trying that level a few more times it looks like your right about them being bugged round 31, I will send a pm to the dev guys.

I'm pretty sure it is a bug. I remember having to call an Air Strike cause the Super troopers were barely damaged after halfway through my maze. The next time the Supertroopers came, they were decimated before they even began the second stretch. I didn't upgrade anything in between the waves except bottom and top Teslas to deal with the Helicopters.

Which stages are you looking for? And can you say what the default towers are? I forgot when Hive, Oil, Laser, Plasma, and Tesla were acquired.

Is this a bug?

Hey there! Just talked to the designers and they did notice that there was a huge difficulty spike on wave 31, so that's a bug. We're adjusting it now and it'll be fixed for the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience! We really appreciate you letting us know about this issue.

Let me know if you guys find any other problems! Thanks!

The heroic timed run called scrambled eggs had an added 0 to the amount of units needed to be killed. 3000 in 5 minutes is kinda...
