Reviews for Triple Tower Defense

[SakujoNoJidai]

I decided to come back and crush this game after thinking about pattern options. Getting an all-time high score without juggling wasn't difficult once I understood how the game mechanics worked. (My fault for not reading the "How to" before.)

What SensitiveJerk said about lack of tower balance is definitely true. Green towers are by far the weakest- regardless of their level.

Two stars for a simple concept that had me thinking about it when I wasn't playing. One star for simple and clean graphics. Half a star for music (and lack of attack sounds) that didn't drive me nuts or give me a headache.

Minus two stars for either not living up to potential, or obscuring detail. By that I mean that there wasn't an explanation of the strengths/weaknesses of enemy units, there didn't seem to be any useful bonuses for clearing/sending waves as quickly as possible, and four tower mode didn't seem to provide any greatly increased challenge.

Good work. :)

It's a good game, but there's a bit unbalancing when towers get upgraded, and that's all I could find wrong, really.

Green - Shoots faster, tiny bit of range increase... that's it. Worst tower to upgrade.
Red - Splash and range get much bigger. Slow, but packs a punch when blue towers bunch them up.
Blue - Chain damage increase, decent range. Also slows them! Best of the three.

Yellow (4th tower) - Area effect increase. Only around corners and in the middle is it very useful.

But yeah, the green tower is the ONLY tower that doesn't offer damage to multiple targets, and the damage increase is the worst among all. Add in the fact that they aren't 100% accurate, and the green tower suffers most of all.

Easiest and cheapest way to stay alive is to create two paths, one in an L pattern along the wall to the finish and the other as elaborate as possible. Just juggle by discarding and placing a tower at the end so the enemies just move back and forth, and it gives no penalty to scoring. To start off strong, try to make a level 4 blue tower (or 5 if you can).

Level 5 towers are amazingly difficult to make when the map starts filling up. To make a level 4 tower and up, you have to think ahead and can't box in the last piece in an L shape. I haven't tried making anything more than a level 5 tower, and I don't even know if it's possible.

PROTIP: if you can macro keys, do this: left click, d, left click. This will make you place (or select), destroy, and then place the next tower on display. It will let you cycle through towers until you get what you want as fast as possible.

First of all, I really enjoyed this game. I enjoy free-mazing, if that's even a real term, rather than having a forced path. When you combine that with the challenge of planning to create better towers, it becomes a truly strategic game.

Now, a lot of people are talking about how easy it is to juggle. I noticed, at least on the armorgames version, that there's a small price for removing a tower, as with discarding. That's effective for the first few levels, but not beyond that. So rather than trying to prevent people from juggling, I would recommend making the enemies get stronger faster. That way juggling becomes pretty much essential. Because really, that's what it boils down to in the end. There's a finite amount of time that a maze that doesn't juggle can last. At least make it so that a player can't last til level 100 easily juggling.

Basically, make the enemies grow stronger more quickly. Otherwise, great game.

Best spin on tower defense ive ever seen. Really requires thought on how you can upgrade without running out of room.

Best Score in the hour it preoccupied me was 306,130. Once all the waves start coming at once it really screws your blue towers since they only seem to hit one target and reds seem to splash. great game.

Fantastic game, I loved trying to figure out the patterns in which I'd have to place the towers in order to get them up to level five, a bit frustrating but rewarding. As with others I eventually had to mute the music as it did get repetitive. Wish the game had more replay-ability though, once I got level five of all towers there didn't seem much point to go on further (I'm not much for beating high scores, there's always someone with more time than me).

And speaking of level five, the first three medals seem to be broken, I don't think it's possible to get the final medal without having all four previous ones, but I seem to have managed it!
