App Request: Tower Defense

justyibe · 09/05/2009, 01:56 PM

We need a Tower Defense game something similar to:

geoDefense for the iPhone.

It is an epic time waster and it passes the time due to the fact that it's a challenging strategy based game. Someone get to it!

Here might be a quick fix:

Castle Feud - Games for iPhone and Palm Pre

Go there from your Palm Pre's browser.

I'll get back into attempting balance it sooner or later. Too much time went into it to not finish it.

But if anyone (with some programming knowledge) would like to try their hand at balancing it so its actually fun, let me know, I'll send them the source and some directions. (There are two simple files that determine the stats/etc.)

Wish I knew some programming! Hope this does come out eventually sounds like you put a lot of effort into it. I would definitely enjoy an app like this!

Heh, funny because while this is a game that has you defending your tower, it's not a "tower defense" game in the sense that that label is now used.

socca1157 · 02/06/2010, 11:52 AM

Just gotta wait a little bit longer to get flash, then you can play all you want!

Fitz39 · 03/09/2010, 02:06 PM

bump! Some1 please give oil a hand

kthanks bye

Fitz39 · 03/25/2010, 10:02 PM

really?! Has anyone seen the tower defense game for iphone? Awesome what hasn't anyoneporter it over? Is it possible? What are we waiting for?

Rockbeast · 03/26/2010, 10:35 AM

I've enjoyed Tower Raiders and Robo-Defense on the Android (DROID). I haven't seen the iphone tower defense game. I sure would like one of these on the Pre!

Tibfib · 03/26/2010, 03:43 PM

There is now a tower defense game out called "Virus Defense"... anyone tried it?

vaslin · 03:59 PM

I wrote it, so I'm a little biased.

Best I can do to help is give you the only feedback I've gotten so far today.

"Hooray! A TD game!

Nice story concept, easy to play"

Rockbeast · 03/28/2010, 09:12 AM

I'm enjoying it too! It is a little confusing on how to upgrade a defense but I have figured it out. On misssions that allow upgrading you tap the one you want to upgrade then tap the verion number (e.g., v1.0) and it will change to the next higher version (e.g., v2.0). Level 6 is hard! By the way, I think the developer is soon going to release an update to make tower upgrades easier. Is that right vaslin?

vaslin · 03/28/2010, 12:02 PM

Very much so. I'm already done and it's all tested.

One of the main problems with upgrade is that level 1-5, we had it shut off while you were in the tutorials. That's now turned on.

If you're on one of the levels where upgrade is disallowed, then a circle with a cross thru it is displayed on the image.

And if you have a tower selected and you can upgrade, the 'v2.0' icon now has a animation to really grab your attention!

I've also just added the ability to send out the next wave immediately and I put a status bar above each of the creeps.

Just double checking waves 11-15 before we release to Palm tonight.

vaslin · 03/28/2010, 12:04 PM

And oh yea...

Akira71 makes all the levels, but levels 6 & 8 were my evil creations... Muahahahah!!

Rockbeast · 03/28/2010, 02:38 PM

you are evil!

I look forward to update.

Tibfib · 03/28/2010, 06:11 PM

I'll definitely give the app a download once that update rolls out. I love tower defense games.

Armchair Commando · 03/28/2010, 08:09 PM

I tried out Virus Defense from the app catalog. I have enjoyed it so far, it runs very smoothly and the controls work very well. Its worth the price Having sound would be nice, but as I understand it that is a limitation of the SDK.

vaslin · 03/28/2010, 09:27 PM

We'll try putting some system sounds in the game and see if it slows it down too fast.

Glad you liked it!
