Decided to make a new thread out of the STEAM thread since it's utterly awesome.

FINALLY cleared Veil of Ice with no losses. Smashed littlemaths too and got a 40k score

I fully upgraded my meteor and holy shit it does some awesome damage.

Such a good game, it really needs a demo though (if it doesnt have one)

BTW where can I check my steam achievements for it and what they are?

Turns out it was the level after Veil of Ice I got 40k.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3 on:** January 01, 2009, 07:30:29 PM »

was browsing the achievements last night, one of them is surviving 100 waves in challenge mode

I really like that there's no juggling of towers like there is in Pixel Junk Monsters. I'm rarely at a stage where I have to sell/build/sell/build/etc... to clear a level. I'm finding clustering of types of towers and using the slowing tower on corners is the best strategy

Woot got 14th on one of the story leaderboards.

Been playing it basically non-stop all day when I haven't been cooking or what not. Such a great TD implementation with lots of brain and character.

Valve should hook up with these guys and help them push out a left 4 dead thing sort of teader game like what they did with Peggle Extreme and The Orange Box.

I only stopped playing this yesterday because I had explosive diarrhea.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 02, 2009, 01:48:42 AM »

Got up to the first locked level, there seems to be some awesome strategy you could make due to the up/down ramps.

frag is fucking owning me on the leaderboards

Brehvolution · « **Reply #8 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:16:31 PM »

Looks awesome!

Installing now.

I thought the Steam sale was going THROUGH Jan 2nd, not ending on it.

*sigh*

I don't know why I didn't bite on this.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #10 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:21:23 PM »

i haven't touched this yet

i need to get my civ4 addiction out of the way first

so i'll probably play this next year

Brehvolution · « **Reply #11 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:26:38 PM »

Finished in less than 10 minutes!

C ya

I have to watch a movie with the old lady. plz add me to your Steam friends list whoever is playing. I've sent invites to tall the EB group.

Thanks for the tip on this game. I think it was well worth the $20

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:04:26 AM »

Finished all of the story missions with gold medals. Last one's really fun, but I think that the garbage disposal one (third to last) is probably the hardest to conceptualize and route traffic through.

Really looking forward to a co-op multiplayer mode and a level editor if they are planning either.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:40:47 AM »

co-op and level editing would RULE. i'll definitely grab this when it hits XBLA too

Brehvolution · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:57:26 PM »

This game is sick.

Frag is not human.

littlemathletics · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2009, 01:08:44 AM »

They're planning an editor, apparently.

I'm going to finish this fucker. Then I'm going to finally beat some of your scores, Frag

pilonv1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:24:30 AM »

this last level is a cunt

Brehvolution · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2009, 11:27:48 AM »

Twice upgraded canons

I'm guessing you guys are selling off shit in the last few seconds of the game to get these scores.

The game sells off everything at the end of the round and adds it to your score automatically.

the keys to high scores are:

*) never ever buy more than you need.

*) maximizing the damage from your towers. Towers that spend the entire time firing are more efficient than those that do not.

*) proper mazing, when appropriate, to force monsters to spend as much time in a tower farm as possible.

*) learning the type of waves so that you can optimize your tower choices. for example, if the natiest waves are hordes of weenies, properly placed inferno towers will do way way way more damage than, say, cannon towers or even gun towers will.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2009, 02:26:30 PM »

There is no substitute for properly placed Temporals.

littlemathletics · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:09:38 PM »

Temporals are absolutely vital, yeah. Probably even more so than in any other tower defense game I've played.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2009, 06:35:24 PM »

the first things i upgrade are the temporals too, theyre almost useless at green.

the fully upgraded meteor is so awesome on some levels

I feel so fucking OCD about getting perfect in this game.

Me too. And just when I thought to make a good score, I see your guy's score. $:-\$

littlemathletics · « **Reply #25 on:** January 05, 2009, 11:42:47 PM »

I seriously thought getting over 40K on Focal Point was good. And then Fragamemnon got 41K.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #26 on:** January 05, 2009, 11:53:17 PM »

Damn this game is fucking hard.

The game pauses on a new level until you place the first tower (or right click the mouse) to allow you to look over it and plan your strategy

also fixes for noobs

Adjusted the difficulty for levels Last Stand and Waste Disposal
