This is my Tower Defense game that I have been working on for some time. It has 20 levels so far however it is still a WIP. I know it may have many bugs and is incomplete but it has now reached a stage where it is presentable. Any constructive comments welcome. Please tell me if you find any bugs. :)

(sorry no screen shots ATM)

Nice take on the tower defense, like it. Is it made with BMax?

By the way, welcome to blitz basic!

Edit: Played it but -
I made a cannon on one of the planks, not sure if its suppose to do that. Interesting take on the tower defense.

Nice and creative.


SpaceTW(Posted 2009) [#5]
It is made with Bmax. Also it should not allow you to build a tower on a plank. I tried to do that myself, but I couldn't find a problem. Nate's problem was just rushed programing.

Played till Level20. As far as i remember the Tower Defense games emerged from Warcraft. The iPod offers some pretty enjoyable ones.

There's still a big TD scene for Warcraft maps.
Alot of people play it but there are only a handfull of good maps because the mapscripting is very difficult.
What the TD scene really needs is a TD engine with easier scripting.

I played your TD game till lvl 4 (when my boss came at my desk with a question :) ). The game looks fun, if you up the spritequality and make some different paths you've got a good game on your hands.

If at any time you feel like sharing your sourcecode you know where to post it.

You can't upgarde the radar? I click on the upgrade button for the radar and nothing happens. Nice little game though!


SpaceTW(Posted 2009) [#11]
Odd, I tried that and it upgraded fine. The only reasons it wouldn't work should be a lack of money for it or a seperate error I've had where it lets you place two towers on the same space. I haven't had that happen for quite some time, but it does occasonally happen. It won't show an upgrade, but one of the towers is upgraded.


Ross C(Posted 2009) [#12]
Ah, i tried it many times... Hmmm :o) Gameplay wise, i find it more beneficial to keep the towers downgraded if your placing them in a row, as the towers are more likely to miss if they are shooting backwards, with the larger range.


SpaceTW(Posted 2009) [#13]
I found the problem while changing the prices. It said it only cost $100, but it requires you have $150 to upgrade.


Ross C(Posted 2009) [#14]
Ah right. I'll give it another whirl :o)
