Desktop Tower Defense

I've lost way too much productive time to this game to not reveal it to others, so that they may fall victim to it as well, making me look better by comparison.

I thought this was going to be about how a lot of people seem to use laptops exclusively now.

Although that's probably just here, being a college and all.

I like DTD better because it's not all about selling. The fact that FlashElementTD gives points for leftover gold and has interest puts too much emphasis on skimping and last-minute selling of towers.

Although when DTD 1.2 came out people were pissed because the strategy of that game was altered. It's a lot harder to get 8,000 points now.

currently my strategy is to build a maze/pathway of towers so that it takes them as long as possible to get to the end. So far, it is working... but I can't decide what the optimal tower choice is.

EDIT: ok, apparently that only works on easy mode. goddamn.

If you look in the Fun section you can there's a version of Normal where you start with $10K. Which is good for getting used to having 2 lines. As a hint you probably either want to go with a double-spiral maze or go with asymmetric Frosts (put a Frost right near one entrance but not the other).

Oh, and on Normal you'll need 3 Storm towers to beat all the flyers.

I can already see where this could become a problem. So I'll turn it into a solution to my problem of only 6/12-15 pages written on voting behavior. Fifty words for every level.

In the $10K game you can actually get a perfect score. If you build your maze right you can just hold down the N key for all 50 levels for the maximum time bonus plus the bonus for losing no lives.
