About this game

Desktop Tower Defense does not follow the generic Tower Defense game style. Unlike many other tower defense games, the path of the creeps themselves is not set; instead, the towers built determine the path of the creeps, who take the shortest path they can find to the exit. This allows for you to choose your own way of playing the game and it also allows for very interesting strategies.

Not only can you affect the path that the creeps follow, but you will also need to manage your finances and decide on whether it is more viable to build more turrets or upgrade your existing ones. Strategic placement of different turrets is key, since each turret has it's place and it's special ability.

The creeps come in waves at set intervals. Each wave of creeps has different characteristics, such as immunity to certain towers, extra resistance to certain towers, and the abilities to spawn new creeps, move faster than normal, or fly over the towers instead of following the maze. For each wave, the game rotates among the types of creeps.

Ratings and reviews

Placing towers is glitchy at best. Sometimes, a tower gets placed other times it doesn't. Towers are hard to get where you want them as they don't go right where the stylus is sitting but a bit higher and don't always drop, resulting in inefficiency and having to go back and forth trying to drop the same tower. Upgrading towers is impossible and doesn't function at all. Other than that, it's just like I remember it.

To be blunt, I played the original desktop Tower Defense from Casual Collective, and I have to say this is a semi poor replication of that game. The worst issue, the towers don't react the way they should. In the original game, The Towers would attack the closest to the exit, where here, the towers focus on the newest spawned. This defeats the point of mazing. There are some other issues, like the mobs mazing is bugged at times and other problems. Good for nostalgia, bout it.

Brilliantly made! Thanks! I've been looking for something like Bubble Tanks TD on mobile, and this is it. But there are some things that would make it better. When placing towers, you have to reselect the tower each time you place it, which gets kinda annoying. If you select a tower, it should stay selected until you deselect/select something else. It seems like theres only a certain amount of modes. An infinite mode would be great, or have more levels with different wall shapes or something.
