It would be really nice if you could review what your current mission is and if there was a system wide map to help you get where you need to go and, more importantly, get back to your station.

"meh."

submission: Squish Tower Defence

date: June 8, 2009

negatives: simplistic graphics, only 2 types of enemies, no way to check current turret stats,
positives: a variable "tech tree" similar to "Antbuster" ( http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /378646 ) had potential

"I'm a doctor, Jim, not a $BLANK" is not a valid excuse. You can get help from an artistic friend or you can always use public domain sprites. All you need to do to win is put a missile launcher that covers both entrance and exit and upgrade it to nuclear launcher and maybe hit the "increase damage" button a few times. I'm sure you figured level 15 would be the "impossible" level that all tower defense games have, but my nuclear turret (backed up with fast power turret) is cleaning up the flies right as they enter the maze as I type this.

Author's Response:

First, yes, my graphics are horrible, but I had stated that this was made for a scholarship project, and the rules state that everything must be made by the submitter. As stated below, finding the perfect balance for turret effectiveness is near impossible. I'll work on that. As for the tech tree, I'm glad you noticed, no one ever does. And you endured to level 15, you're probably the 6th person I know to actually go that far.

Thanks for the criticism.
