![]() As you play the game you will unlock better towers, and the “level 5” upgrades are for the most part all very cool and useful. I especially like how varied the strategy can be in this game. The towers are plentiful and interesting, the difficulty stays difficult (but not impossible…well except for the last track maybe) throughout instead of switching to a cakewalk as soon as you manage to get ahead of the curve, the graphics are great, and finally, there is just something satisfying about popping balloons with sharp things. This is a tower defense game that does everything right. Red balloons take one hit, but blue balloons are faster and pop to reveal a red, yellows are faster still and pop to reveal a blue which pops to reveal a red, etc. Anyway, for those that would like to waste dozens of hours of their life, read on!īloons Tower Defense 3 was good enough to get the top spot by itself, and Bloons Tower Defense 4 is even better! In the Bloons Tower Defense series you place armed monkeys along a fixed track to throw sharp things at balloons. ![]() The top 3 are highly recommended, 4-8 are pretty good and the last 2 are at least worth checking out if you really need more Tower Defense games. So here is my list of my favorite Tower Defense Games. But I have also found the rare few that not only managed to get the difficulty curve mostly balanced (Tower Defense games are all about building enough towers to stay ahead of the toughness of the creeps–and this game balance is surprisingly hard to maintain), included interesting towers that upgraded in fun ways (the Tower Defense genre is all about slowly improving your defenses–this is a lot more fun when your defenses do progressively cooler things than just “shoot more”), and best of all, required a bit of strategy in your tower choices and placement (ie, something more than “close to the road”). And to be fair, there are tons of these kind of games out there, and the vast majority do just that. It seemed like the only decision you made was where to put a tower and then you sat back and watched the game play itself as the towers automatically shot the enemies for you. Now, I initially had no interest in playing these kind of games. As you kill enemies you are rewarded with money to buy more towers to help combat the next wave of tougher enemies. The typical Tower Defense game will have an overhead perspective and confine “attacks” to a road (usually leading to the heart of your “base” or off screen) along which you will place various towers to shoot at the “wave” of enemies (“creeps” in Tower Defense lingo). For those who have never heard of them, playing a Tower Defense game is similar to playing a real time strategy game (like Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft, Age of Empires, etc) where you only build towers to defend your home base against an ever growing horde of enemy attacks. I have also found one of the hard drives from the old pc that game was on and I will try to recover it, I'll also keep you guys updated about that.When I wrote my last flash games post I was still of the mindset that “Tower Defense” games were lame. I think there were only towers that dealt damage, but my memory is hazy.įeel free to ask me further questions and suggest games that might be it. Gameplay: As far as I remember it was just a normal Tower Defense, with a lot of levels. Like VTD some towers (maybe all?) shot lasers and I specifically remember that the 2nd tower from the top on the far right was also in that game. I can't remember exactly, but the enemies looked different in my game, they might have been red triangles or something like that and they spin when moving. Graphics: It looked extremely similar to Vector TD (Screenshot of that game below). Platform: Windows XP, it was 100% NOT a flash game, because I had the executable. ![]() Unfortunately I cannot remember the name at all, although something in my head tells me that it maybe had a number in the name. Most games I played then were free or open source games, so the game I'm searching might have been too. I used to play that game as a kid around 2010. ![]()
