i think that wave alone is pushing me towards iap

Well, it won't be tonight. Already am going to be a zombie at work tomorrow, but when I get back to it, I'll let you know if I have any success. Please do share if you beat it first!

Other than the tower AI, I'm at least liking it more now. Also picked up Robotek. Pretty cool little game.

I'm waiting to play it tomorrow.

ok, i'll play some more tonight...

right now I'm playing with the level layout... just managed to make a completely different labyrinth so I'm hoping this will help since the auto save that i had on wave 11 was impossible to beat perfectly with my current layout and towers

By the same people as Robotek means I have to check it out.

Shame it's free, these games are worth as much as anything else onn the app store and I'd gladly have paid the couple bucks knowing that Robotek was actually pretty good.

Finally ffs i managed to beat Wave 11 on Mission 2, perfect... now that stupid boss on wave 12 -__-

I almost got him... man this game requires a lot of thinking, fast fingers and an open mind when making the labyrinths

EDIT: Woot finally killed the Wave 12 boss.... took me a few tries but i found the trick...


Damn! this game is hard

Congrats on Wave 12! Got a bit more time to play today and did pretty well until....Wave 11 on Mission 2. Yep, it's got me hosed too. But I guess it's not impossible.

Still think some of the difficulty is the tower AI. I had one cannon that kept moving back and forth like it didn't know where to fire and I don't think it did for the entire wave!

..and starting this thread!

Tip1: Turrets always fire at the targets closest to them, so it's good to build a back up near the Spiral, to finish wounded runners.

Tip2: Upgrading is well worth it! Maxed out tower is usually 6x more effective than its basic version - and it costs much less than 6 new towers. That said, you need more towers to cover more area...

Tip3: When the waves are easy, try to save money. You'll collect bigger efficiency bonus, which is 10% out of everything you don't spend. This money will be helpful when things get tougher.

Tip4: Experiment with various weapons, they can very well cooperate together: Cannons soften blobs, Beliahs pump damage constantly, Biocid Spray has huge spread etc.

Enjoy!

here's my layout for Mission 2 (I know this is at wave 12 and not 11... i forgot to take the picture .-. but they mobs all died at the tesla... only 1 mob managed to live... and it died at the hands of the cannon when he approached the vortex)




If you can look closely, my Tesla and Gas towers have 3 lights, both machine guns have 2 lights and so does the cannon... There was also a Laser on the top left part of the upper machine gun.And i think there was another laser in the middle of the 9x9 at the bottom. (For wave 12 i sold some towers and kept selling and repositioning towers in order to follow the boss. Hint: Use and spread a bit the cheap laser towers, the constant damage will ensure the boss doesn't regenerate. And don't bother with more than 1 cannon, they take too long to shoot at it)

those turrets like that and the layout made Wave 11 a breeze... which was a pain to figure out since my last node set up(labyrinth) had it's entrance on top and it made the wave impossible to perfect.



Currenlty battling Mission 3.... got to wave 15 no problem... and then problems started happening... stupid flies that regenerate...

[Hexage]

Looking at the screen, you could've killed the Jello!

Selling tesla (slow firing weapons are no good against regenerates.)
Then selling the first spray. That would give you enough money to place maxed out laser right next to the Gauss Gun.

Tested it, Jello died! So close.
Regenerating creeps need either huge damage to kill in one shot (cannons vs flies) or constant fire, without pause.

Wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for the tips Hexage. Love your games - particularly Radiant, Evac and Robotek (which I somehow managed to overlook but grabbed last night along with this).

Drexiel, when I get a chance, I'll have to play around with a set-up similar to yours.

Very nice game, but it's got a pretty good difficulty ramp up. (Evac, which I still haven't finished, sadly, also gets pretty hard).
