Tower Defense - Flash Maze Game
Game: Tower Defense
Developer: Roman Sanine
Since WarCraft 3 I have had a strange fascination with tower defense games. I really like slow strategic games with virtually infinite possibilities. To a passive onlooker tower defenses may not seem very in depth. It appears that you simply are placing towers next to paths to kill creatures before they can get to the center. In truth these games can be quite complex. You need to decide what towers to build, where, when and at what stage they should be upgraded. (and to which degree)
Building the right tower a square in the wrong direction or a round to late can mean the difference between a stonewall and a leaky defense. If you are playing a team tower defense you will certainly be called a noob if you leak before the later rounds.
This tower defense lacks tower diversity in that all towers only have a range and damage rating. It is much more exciting when you have towers that have special effects even if its as simple as a set of land and air towers. The one thing this TD does have that seems to be unique is a never ending cycle. Basically each round monsters get progressively stronger until they breach walls. This is great but it would be much better with a leader board.
I have a feeling Roman Sanine is using this flash TD as a beta launch pad for something much better. I can’t wait to see v2.0.

I love this game. I stack blue towers in the center it has gotten me to level 75. Does anyone know how to upgrade the expensive tower 3 times?
December 8th, 2006 at 4:25 am
this game is horribly addicting. played for for fricken hours. i’ve got to lvl 76 with a bunch of green towers upgraded max lined right along the wall. its kinda unbalanced though, next to impossible for me to buy the $3000 tower.
December 8th, 2006 at 4:34 am
great game. i use green towers more than the blues, has gotten me to level 78. i can’t ever seem to save enough money to upgrade the last tower 3 times.
December 8th, 2006 at 9:59 am
I find that if you place a storm tower next to the $3k tower they fire red, blue, green and white projectiles. It also seems that they do a little more damage. I just can’t seem to make this idea beat out the central ice tower defense.
December 8th, 2006 at 10:26 pm
I’ve gotten up to 76 myself on this game so far, and ahve seen a friend get all the way to 80. We do this by putting a lcuster of green towers in the middle. So far i just don’t see how to get to 90. Also another thing, how the hell are you supposed to be able to save 15k money to by the 3rd upgrade for the flower tower. Until I see a way to get the 3rd form of the flower tower, it seems totally pointless to me.
December 11th, 2006 at 12:15 am
I have made it to level 82 by putting towers at the ends of hallways. I find the rate of fire to be much higher when the enemies are filing directly towards it (or away from it).
December 11th, 2006 at 7:11 pm
My best so far has been 81. I start with a fire tower, then build nothing but nature towers (using the end-of-the-hallway trick described above). The game illustrates an interesting mathematical property: the money you earn increases arithmatically ($8 times the level) while the foes increase exponentially ((1.25)^n times whatever they start at). This means that there is no way to play forever.
The level-3 flower tower ought to drastically increase the number of levels that one can reach. The best cumulative-price-to-damage ratio of any of the other towers is the maxed-out nature tower, which does about 3.7 points of damage for every dollar spent on it, while the level-3 flower tower advertises a 39.5 damage to dollar ratio. Unfortunately, you would have to save every single penny you earned up to level 76 before you would have the $23,000 needed to buy it. The sum total of all the money I earned up to level 80 was $25,920 (minus the guys who got through to my castle). Could I have gotten up to this point by spending only $2,920 (about the cost of one maxed-out tower)? No way!
I am inclined to think that the author, Roman Sanine, might have only been able to reach level 90 by virtue of some bugs that he has subsequently fixed. There are still a few bugs in the system, like the extra foes that run in on high levels, some of which overlapping, and some unusually hard to beat.
The only other option, hinted above, is that there are some hidden bonuses that occur when certain towers are put together. Is there some sort of element game, whereby fire+plant+storm = massively increased firepower? I haven’t been able to find one, but haven’t checked all the possibilities.
December 11th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
I think that this is a good game but i have problems when i get to lvl 60, the money you get when you kill them is to low and i cant upgrade any more i cant figure out how you guys get to lvl 80. any suggestions?
December 11th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
I just made it to level 205 by accident. If you hold the spacebar in while trying to skip to the next level it will cycle through levels until you let go.
December 12th, 2006 at 4:46 am
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but my friend and I found a bug where our nature towers were just randomly disappearing. We had one fire tower, and maybe.. six or seven nature when it started doing this.
Kinda hard to play when half your defense blows up…
But. I got to level 72. Very addicting. I should have been asleep 5 hours ago.
December 12th, 2006 at 5:25 am
I only got to 72 but I will also try the end-hallway trick and report back. I also managed to get only 2 upgrades for the flower cannon, but the thrid seems mathmatically impossible as you simply have to increaes the power. I tried sticking to just two cannons on green in the middle and one blue at the end as it reaches to the beginning at full upgrade, but still had to put up more and more defences along the way.
December 12th, 2006 at 9:25 am
I can’t seem to get the spacebar bug to work again. I was on level 24-25 when it worked the first time.
December 12th, 2006 at 9:29 am
I got to 81 by putting a fire tower at the end of the first hallway and only upgrading it a few times (not the $600 upgrade). After that I put nature towers behind it, upgrading each one fully before building another. When there were four towers at the end of that hallway, I began building more nature towers at the end of the only other hallway (down one of the last stretches). When that was maxed out, I built nature towers near the others.
I wonder if the rate of firepower by several smaller towers can in any way outdo the sheer force of a few fully-upgraded towers. Still, no other tower comes close to the 3.7 damage-to-dollars ratio of a maxed-out nature tower, and the range reaches almost everywhere on the board.
December 12th, 2006 at 8:21 pm
Perhaps I’m not getting the end-of-the-hallway defense trick here, what do you mean by that?
December 12th, 2006 at 9:35 pm
The flower tower requires $3000 to buy, but only subtracts $2000 from your total. So it is the best deal in town. Don’t do the upgrades though.
December 12th, 2006 at 10:34 pm
I just made it to 83 with nature towers and the end of path trick. I tried the same formation with lv 1 flower towers but that only gets you to about 70.
December 13th, 2006 at 7:05 pm
if you put the cursor in the right place, you can actually “stack” or overlap several towers in a small area
December 13th, 2006 at 8:59 pm
I just got to 77 with 9 or 10 maxed out nature towers more or less in the center.
I used one storm tower at the start of the game to to take the heat off.
Gunna try the hallway end thing..
December 14th, 2006 at 4:47 am
We here at work can get to L76-83 but after that, we die quickly. On the end-of-hallway trick, is to position your tower so when it fires there is no Nut/missle can be seen. The Fire rate is much quicker that way. we all use the Nature towers.. I have try a various of Ice towers in the middle because of their range but we think that it is not worth it for the final upgrade. I had 9 fully loaded Nature towers and 2 Fully loaded Ice Towers. got to 81 level… Does anyone know what is the starting hit points of the DOTS? Also the Nature tower saids that it starts with 3hp and really it starts with 5hp. the total cost of the towers are as follow Water-$3,360 dmg 7335, Fire- $2,298 dmg 7021, Nature- $2,375 dmg 9000, Flower 90909.$15,000 dmg, not sure if Flower has a 4th upgrade. I calculated that the starting HP of the DOTS are 25, but not certain about that. but if that is the case, then by 80th level/wave the HP of the DOTS are 1,131,959,885HP, and by the 90th level/wave they are at 10,542,197,943. now that is a lot to damage to 1 DOT!!!!
December 14th, 2006 at 11:57 am
Most annoying of all, there seem to be extra dots that come starting at level 75. Sometimes they start faint, but get darker as they first encounter damage. Are these extra hard to kill? If there are usually 8 foes on each level, why are there sometimes 9 or even 10 when the going gets hardest?
December 14th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Hey Tomster thanks for posting the damage/cost numbers.. I did notice the invisible missile thing and will try that some more..
December 14th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
I cannot get past level 79. Need nature towers, and lots of them. is there some trick to storm towers that i don’t know about… because they are pointless otherwise.
it is impossible to get the flower upgraded twice… just not enough money as christopher says.
December 14th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
What I seem to understand about the faint DOTS, is that they are the ones that get in to your castle and re-enter the map with the army, and I think they have the same hit points when they come out at the start of the Hallway when they enter the castle but when they get hit for the first time, then get regenerated to the HP of the other DOTS, which suck!!!! I am guessing on what the 4th up-grade is on the Flower… I too can’t get enought money to upgrade the Flower Towers a 3rd time little known… but I will try to see if I can tonight. As we here at work notice, Storm Tower are useless. No upgrades, cost too much for what you get. That is why I didn’t mention them in my damage/cost.
December 15th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
the end of the hallway trick really works
i just made it to lvl 21 with only storm towers!
December 16th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Can someone please explain to me what the end-of-hallway trick is?
December 18th, 2006 at 7:03 am
lol i love warcraft 3 too itsliek the best expecialy tower defence games im pro at all td games on war3
December 18th, 2006 at 7:56 pm
See my “best”! Be care, the first tower is the water tower! The others are nature towers! Photo: http://www.schaller.hu/vicclap/castle101.jpg
December 19th, 2006 at 3:13 pm
This game is a whole bug. @develp.: test in on linux…
December 19th, 2006 at 3:46 pm
Actually the lvl 2 flower tower has a really poor fire rate compared to any other tower. So the dollar/damage ratio has to be factored out over how many times it gets to fire at the enemy.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
The flower tower also has an extremely short range.
December 19th, 2006 at 6:19 pm
Monster hit points at all levels up to Wave 100 can be found at
http://kinkendo.co.uk/twrdfnchlth.asp
Proof you say? Storm tower (20dmg) kills a W1 DOT in one hit (equal to or less than 20), and a Nature Tower (5dmg) takes 4 hits to kill a W1 DOT (5*4=20). And thereafter, according to the frontscreen, it increases at a rate of n=(n-1*1.5).
Hope it helps
December 20th, 2006 at 11:22 pm
so ya i can get to level 79 and very close to 80 with a tower at every end of rows possible but i can get any farther than that
and that guy that made a link to his screen shot is full it… thats an easy photoshop step up yo game son
December 21st, 2006 at 2:42 pm
My best run (83):
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets.gif
and how I got there:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-build.gif
a. Build (1) and (2) right away, then upgrade both of them to 40.
b. Upgrade (1) to 80.
c. Complete one full level (wait until the shooting stops).
d. Build (3) and upgrade it to 40, then 80.
e. Upgrade (1) and (3) to 640.
f. Build (4) and upgrade it to 640.
g. Upgrade (1), (3), and (4) to 1100.
h. Build four towers in row (5).
i. Upgrade (2) to 80.
j. Build three towers in row (6).
k. Upgrade (2) to 160.
l. Build three towers in row (7).
m. Upgrade all towers in row (5) to 1100, one at a time.
n. Upgrade (2) to 1100.
o. Upgrade all towers in row (6) to 1100, one at a time.
p. Upgrade all towers in row (7) to 1100, one at a time.
Steps b, i, and k exist to keep the game from deleting one of your towers. Your game will end while you’re working on step p. You’ll lose your first civilian during wave 77.
A normal wave has eight dots. This build order takes advantage of the fact that if you kill the first guy out of the gate fast enough, you’ll get a 9th dot. Kill the second guy out of the gate fast enough, and you’ll get a 10th dot (very rare). This gives you a little extra money every level it happens. Towers (1), (3), and (4) in this build order exist to shoot things coming out of the gate as fast as possible during the early game and get this extra money.
You should be upgrading your 13th tower to 1100 when your last civilian dies with either 82 or 83 points (a little luck involved to get 83).
The guy that supposedly got 97 probably got to level 79 and photoshopped the image, yeah. I don’t see how his build could work. But I invite him to post HIS build order.
December 21st, 2006 at 3:02 pm
Would anyone be able to host a screenshot of the end of hall thing in action please? Having a hard time replicating it atm!
December 23rd, 2006 at 12:22 pm
when you say upgrade to 1100 do u mean pay 1100 or just till it shows 1100 for next level?

I got to level 360 through a glitch. Start the game, but a storm tower at the end of the first hallway then hold spacebar and don’t let go. After the first wave, the wave number will just fly up. Whenever you let go, you will be at that level, but keep in mind you will have one storm tower and $20 dollars facing invunerable dots. you will loose in exactly two rounds after you release the spacebar.
December 24th, 2006 at 10:57 am
When I say “upgrade to 1100″, that means upgrade until you have paid 1100 to upgrade the tower fully.
And Brad, your chart is very handy, but remember that you get a 9th (and sometimes, even a 10th) dot if you kill the first things out of the gate fast enough. It’s not something you can predict, though (or at least, I can’t).
December 24th, 2006 at 11:35 pm
I got to 84 without stacking towers or stretching the flash, using some pixel-perfect placements…
gonna see now how far I can get WITH stacking.
December 25th, 2006 at 4:24 am
I’ve gotten up to lvl 87 by stacking as many green towers as possible along the two middle horizontal straight-aways, so that they use the rapid-fire right angle trick. I can fit 6 in each row (by stacking them) then have been able to put another two and have them elsewhere in the center.
I’ve noticed that it doesn’t seem possible for towers to fire straight down. There is also never a good reason to place any tower to the left of the first part of the path, as if you place towers anywhere to the right, they will fire twice as many times.
One of the things I’ve noticed people reluctant to do is to put towers far in in the beginning (the tendency is to want to place one close to the start when you begin, since it goes quickly). It will take a bit longer for the dots to get to you, but putting them in the center area is a great idea. This also helps to avoid the bug where more than just 8 dots come out per round (which is symptomatic of using ice towers).
December 27th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Shot an 82 by positioning the greenies at the end of each straightaway so they shoot point blank. Also stacked as much as possible (tough to position sometimes). This maximizes kills since no shot is wasted. See URL
Screen Shot
December 27th, 2006 at 9:28 pm
I got to 83 on my first try, I didn’t use any glitches and actually started with inferno towers in the center and nature towers scattered near them, then I built up some ice towers(about 7) at the end near my castle til they were level 4.
=S Its how I got it…
December 28th, 2006 at 4:41 am
OMG Jester…i owe u!! ur trick got me up to lvl 80…though i cant see how 82 is possible, cuz i didnt even get up to upgrading line 7…also, sometimes ur startegy doesnt work, like ven tho i put the plant in the correct position, some arent killed and kills one or two of my citizens. also, sometimes theres a glitch and my (1) plant cant sense the incoming dots that come right out during the first levels, so it takes about 3 tries to get ur stratagy perfect, though the reward is gratisfying!! normaly, i would use bunch of ice and fire and plants, then go up to 69…so i owe you!!
and for all u ppl talking about end-of-hall…which hall?! which hall do i put my stuff?? the horizontal or vertical? which horizontal one? whic vertical one? plz screenshot and have arrows pointing to where to put them!! thx…:p
December 29th, 2006 at 2:14 am
IOU_Jester, you need to put 1 turret (Or more with stacking) at the end of EVERY hallway. Think that if you were one of the monsters going through the hallway, you should see the turret dead-ahead, right in front of you, at 12-o’clock. You shouldn’t be able to see the turrets shooting either, but they do, and it’s at least twice as fast as normal.
December 29th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
I got to 77 twice with all nature towers, and 1 water for early on

I belive 90 is very possible
January 3rd, 2007 at 11:44 pm
@Jester
seems, like your #4 should better in line with 7:
http://img207.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tower4dh3.jpg
got some problems, placing a tower near to the middle, placing it, another was deleted, placing the old one new, killed the other tower and so on
#3 was my #1, your #1 was #2, then i placed all towers like i want them and updated it one after another..
hint: the towers have to be placed absolutely in the middle of the hallway, the frequenz is much better then.. (try to place one on the first vertical line and update it once: if absolutely in middle you can reach level 4, one pixel wrong and you won’t finish level 3)
January 4th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
Thanks everyone for all the tips!!!
The highest i got without any of your tips was 74
lets see how high i can get NOW

January 4th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
The nature towers all of you are using have the lowest stats…its weakest out of all three…or is this suppose to be normal? Because I tried Jester’s plan with the nature and died at round level 8…simply because I couldn’t kill the dots quick enough with the nature trees….Anyone want to help?
January 4th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
i got up to level 81, my wife beat me with level 82, plant and water towers got me there , (by putting them in the cornersand some in the middle) , but not all the corners are worth it, some fire goodon some corners and some dont , depending on the towers and the corners used, you most combine the right ones together, beware, if you wanna play a joke , press and hold the sparebar it will knock your levels up to suprising 128 or so lol
January 5th, 2007 at 9:59 am
When you guys are talking about the nature towers, you mean the green towers? BEcause at the first few levels of upgrading, they have the worst stats compared to the blue or red ones…is there suppose to be a way to increase their fire power or something? I tried jester’s plan and the natures didn’t manage to wipe out the dots after a few rounds…any suggestions?
January 5th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
WOOHOO!!!
There is a way to get a 3rd level flower tower.
In fact I got two built before I died on level 99.
Just tried again and got to level 100. totally legit.
I have a screenshot which was NOT photoshoped. I’ll post it later.
It does give away my tower placement, which is the ONLY way to beat level 90. I’ll give you a hint: access the swf file directly. Your restricted to build within the map in the webpage version.
January 5th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
^ = Wins
Anyways, a little experimentation with the hack demonstrates that although the flower towers have an impressive amount of damage, they suck in every other way… particularly firing rate. Also, the whole storm + flower thing doesn’t appear to work, either. I theorize that the best possible (non-hacking) game involves careful positioning of the plant towers, as the flower towers seem too expensive (and slow-firing) to compete.
January 5th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
Although… I could be wrong. Further experimentation shows that flower towers can benefit from the end-of-hallway trick, too… and as such, a maxed flower tower at end-of-hallway pwns.
However, as always, the trick is building the damned thing.
January 6th, 2007 at 11:41 am
@Artiebob:
I once used the hack that gives me a lot of money and even with one single max flower tower its no problem to get over 500 and more..
I think 84 is a max without cheating (stacking included), and to get there the towers just have to be placed exactly.
Anything above really can’t get reached without doing bad things, I think.
January 6th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
maximum ive been able to get is 83 legally.
I agree, its not possible to afford the maxed out flower tower aka “TTHHE ULLTTIMMATTE TTOWWERR” (to use its real name), which really annoys me :(. My method was to line up lots of nature towers which seem to be the best by far.
I feel ive taken this game as far as i can, cant push it any further without cheating. But i cant even cheat because i cant track down the money variable with t-search :(. Anyone know a way to get lots of money? I really want to play with infinite money to test how many towers you need for different levels etc.
As has already been pointed out the money systems flawed, the money increase compared to health increase works out alright up until about level 60 - 70+ then you seem to go past the break even and the jumps in health mean you would need alot more money per kill to survive. Its all downhill then :). Ive found you can survive until around level 50 with only 1 maxed nature tower at the bottom of the first road.
Anyways a way to get more money would be really nice :). Thanks

When you hit the $ in this version it gives you quite a bit of money. Is this a testing feature or a bug?
January 7th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
CR… there is a major glitch… or a storm tower plus a 1 upgrade water tower is the best tower in the game…
I’m currently on lvl 188… with those 2 towers…. and no end in sight.
January 7th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Nevermind… storm tower not necessary….
January 7th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
It’s a nice game but I hate the fact that you “have” to go with nature towers because it’s the best cost/damage. It’d be nice if each element tower gave a specific benefit and what is the point of the storm tower?
January 8th, 2007 at 10:58 am
Here is my screenshot for reaching level 100.
The 3 towers at the start are all you need to reach level 90.

how do you get the towers in the beginning there is no space there
January 8th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
How did you build your towers there? There’s no place for that!
January 8th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
how do you download this game?
January 9th, 2007 at 7:08 am
>>how do you get the towers in the beginning there is no space there
ernie,
Just resize the window, getting it to be more vertical than horizontal… It will appear some space at the top!
January 9th, 2007 at 8:49 am
hmm are you sure Artiebob? Placed the tower like you, but the money for the max flower tower still is not enough? And you got two of them?
Anyhow, just reach 86 with that trick: http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=86re5.jpg
January 9th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
duilen ,
thgis is cheats =)
January 9th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Artiebob’s image is a Photoshop.
When you reach level 100 in this game, it doesn’t display 100 as shown in his image. It displays “10″. Here’s a level 100 image:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheat.gif
I got to level 100 by using Greyh0und’s cheat, above. You make the money you need to buy the two Nature/one Flower towers at the entrance at level 61 or so (if you cheat). *But Savaron is right.* You never make enough money before level 100 (or even level 101) to buy the second Flower turret shown in Artiebob’s image. Try the cheat yourself. Build two Nature towers and one Flower tower at the entrance, then one Flower tower where Artiebob shows it. You won’t live long enough to make back the money you spent just on these four towers.
If you don’t cheat and follow Artiebob’s “build order”, you don’t do enough damage to get the fully upgraded Flower Tower fast enough to save your skin. In two runs, I managed (without cheating) to get the fully upgraded Flower Tower in place just as I was dying in the low level 70s. You get it at level 61 when cheating because you’re killing dots so fast you often get a 9th and a 10th (and sometimes even an 11th) dot.
Artiebob’s image is a Photoshop.
January 10th, 2007 at 10:57 am
Actually it’s not photoshop. It does show 10 when you get to level 100. but you can highlight the text to make it show 100. cut off a little.
You do get more money per round building in the upper corner because you will kill more than 8 units per round and hence make more money. I don’t consider this a cheat though. Just taking advantage of the game.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:29 am
On what site are you playing this game?
January 10th, 2007 at 11:38 am
Yep, you’re right. I apologize. I was able to duplicate what you did and run the game to wave 102. Build order in a few minutes.
January 10th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Wave 102, thanks to Artiebob’s strategy. Here’s the screen cap:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheattowin.gif
There’s another trick to this game. DO NOT TOUCH THE SPACEBAR. I don’t know why, but if you avoid using the spacebar AND kill dots fast enough, not only do you get a 9th and a 10th dot, but you get a 12th and a 15th and sometimes a 17th and rarely a 19th. And all the dots in between. Your spacebar privileges are revoked.
Here’s the build order:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheattowin-build.gif
1. Build tower 1, and upgrade to 20. Build tower 2.
2. Upgrade towers 1 and 2 to 40 as soon as you can.
3. Upgrade tower 1 to 1100 as you can afford to do so.
4. Build tower 3, but do not upgrade it yet.
5. Build tower 4, but do not upgrade it yet.
6. Upgrade tower 3 to 1100 as you can afford to do so.
7. Upgrade tower 4 to 5000. This will happen about level 32.
8. Go get some lunch. You won’t be touching the game for about 7 minutes.
9. Upgrade tower 4 to 15000. This will happen about level 50.
10. Upgrade tower 2 to 1100 as soon as you can.
11. Build tower 6 and upgrade it to 5000.
12. Build the six tower 5s and upgrade each to 1100 as you can. This step is probably completely superfluous and a waste of money, and I’ll be trying the game again without this step. Still, they’re satisfying to watch shoot once they become active in the low level 70s.
13. Upgrade tower 6 it to 15000.
14. Build tower 7 and slllowly upgrade it to 15000.
15. Build tower 8 and slllowly upgrade it to 15000.
You’ll be killed at some point during step 15. As Artiebob says, swipe your mouse across the Wave number to see the whole number.
Here’s my game at level 32:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheattowin-build1.gif
…and while I was building the six towers in step 11:

Right before death:
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheattowin-build3.gif
January 10th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
I went up to level 103 using that trick , it’s awesome!
I only build two leaf towers in step 12 , so I could bring the 4th flower tower to level 2 before dying. I died with 10.000 coins, so I was still far from the third upgrade.
January 10th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
what website are you guys using to stretch the screen cause when i do it just the window gets bigger
someone please post the website
January 11th, 2007 at 2:15 am
I just posted a entry about the Flash Elemental TD developed by David Scott. It is comparable to this game in a lot of ways but I would have to say it is a little better. Check it out.
http://gamingtags.com/index.php/168/flash-elemental-td-tower-defense/
January 11th, 2007 at 10:13 am
so, you have to download the game to be able to strech the screen? if so, where do you d/l it?
January 12th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Instead of going to:
http://onemorelevel.com/games.php?game=415
go to:
http://onemorelevel.com/games3/tower-defence.swf
instead. Then Restore Down your browser window, start the game, and squeeze it until you can see three dots at the beginning of the track but not yet on the track.
January 12th, 2007 at 5:19 pm

One more tip: the rate of fire on Ultimate Towers is much faster if they’re firing upwards than any other direction.
January 15th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
lvl 105, special thanks to you, Jester!
http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/1951/20070115201924or8.png
106+ is possible by NOT FUCKING UP the bottom right ultimate! I misplaced it, the point blank trick didn’t work.
Compared with jester’s build, forget about tower 3, the 5s and don’t update tower 2. Then you’ll make it to four ultimates, no4 finishing at about 101.
January 15th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
106. Nothing special done except maximize the various strategies, including Ultimate Towers shooting upwards.
http://www.jestertrek.com/temp/turrets-cheattowin2.gif
I suspect 107 is possible.
January 16th, 2007 at 8:48 am
How do you view the source and download the .swf file? I’m using XP and Internet Explorer. Please explain, thank you.

January 16th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
Hey Roman, nice work so far. When you’re finished with V4, where are you planning to release it, or where can we find it?
January 17th, 2007 at 3:49 am
Very Nice Game Mr. Sanine… your work is appreciated and many have really enjoyed your efforts..
Thats very cool in my book..

YAY!! I just got 108, using the method you guys talked about, with a slight twist of course.

January 18th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
i dont understand how to stretch the image to put the turrets on the track could someone please tell me!!!!
January 18th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
the only thing I don’t get is how to stretch the screen upward to where you can place towers in front of where the dots enter at.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:14 am
Just reduce the width of your window (IE/mozilla…). You will see the incoming dots, put the towers on the first one incoming.
January 19th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
^^^^^
Yeah, I finally figured it out last night by accident. It’s pretty sweet. I got 99 the first time. Then played about 8 more times and only got in the 80’s. However, during my most recent shot at it…. I got 103!!
_____________________________________________________
And the only reason why I got in the mid 80’s all those times is because I was impatient and hit the f***ing spacebar. Listen to Jester… DO NOT HIT THE SPACEBAR!!!!!
That is the TRUE key to getting 100+ in this game, IMO. Of course, you gotta figure out the other parts first.
January 20th, 2007 at 2:47 am
I just got to 105. I would have probably gone to 106 or even 107 but I had 3 fully upgraded nature towers go up in smoke from that damn glitch. here’s my screen shot…. http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/1500/gamejunk9im.jpg

i always do jesters way now but 4 some reason i cant upgrade tower 4 at level 32 - its always at level 42
please tell me why
January 29th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
wen i first started i put down the storm tower then pressed and held space bar and the wave thingamajig went up like krazi and ended up with 730 waves
January 29th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
then im like “I WIN”
January 29th, 2007 at 10:08 pm
wel i won 52 levels with only 157 storm towers 1 ice tower and two natures
February 1st, 2007 at 11:20 am
to attain “90″ is what drives all of us to continue trying. i think good ole roman was less then honest. i hit 81,82 and after the realization i just spoke of, found other games to play. i thought i might find some “tips” is how i stumbled upon this forum.
February 2nd, 2007 at 10:30 am
read further up^^ people have reached 108
February 2nd, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Maybe he considers that method to be cheating?
February 6th, 2007 at 1:45 am
Im dumbfounded. Some seniors got me into this game and i understand what you guys are all talking about. This game leaves you thinking.. hmmmm how can i totally own that record? Amazingly you guys have accomplished that goal. One question, is there any way for me to do the strech screen on safari(internet browser for macs)?
February 6th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
I have the same problem as ricardo, I cant upgrade tower 4 at lvl 32 - its always 42…?
anyone? how come?
February 10th, 2007 at 9:23 am
hey fellas… i just had to come back and check on you. strategy goes out the door and cheat walks in… c’mon now… stretching screens? pullin this and that? like i said, 82 or so and thats about it.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Been playing this for the past few hours and can only get to 76 with earth towers. I think the key to this is placement of towers and exploiting the range of them to get maximum amount of damage.
February 14th, 2007 at 11:14 am
I have IE internet explorer.. but for some reason, i can’t see the Track, nore am i able to upgrade my towers.
it will not allow me to click anything really..
Any ideas?
February 14th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
I was able to get to 84 without doing any re-programming or cheating, by placing green towers, first near the entrance (to encourage more than 8 dots to come out), then stacking green towers in line with the corners. Today, finally, I have found a way to force so much duplication of dots at the start, that I was able to fully upgrade the flower tower, and made it past level 100. Unfortunately, this site was ahead of me, and stole my thunder, but I’m proud anyway. yes, I used the “save the swf, and stretch the screen” trick.
February 20th, 2007 at 8:38 am
We could use this to test some variables. You have virtually unlimited funds in this.

I’ll be doing some tests later on with it.
February 21st, 2007 at 9:03 pm
Hey all, Been playing TD for a week or so now and without using any of the “tricks” listed here I have scored two 80’s and one 81. Today I found out that if you put two towers together - they dont have to be “stacked” - and upgrade the one closest to the dots coming at it, the damage is higher than if the stronger tower is in the rear. I discovered this by trying to find a way to get the most nature towers possible by not spending money on any others. I placed two nature towers back to back at the end of the hallway after the first turn (bottom of screen just above menu) twice - once with the tower closest to dots coming at it upgraded once and scored 87 coins before any dots got by, then tried it again with the one in the rear updated once and only scored 70 coins before any dots got by. I quess this method would cancel itself out once the towers you have lined up are all maxed out but it helps at the start and may be worth investigating further with other tower combos.
February 24th, 2007 at 3:59 am
the ones I play are free. Most times I find games I like by accident, or I come across a review like this one on Flash Element TD and then based upon what that person writes, I give it a try or I decide maybe not. Personally I have to say that I likedTower Defense Flash Mazebetter but that’s because it was a bit less complicated. As the review of Flash Elemental TD points out, the features in the game are visually better and there are more game play options. So, if you are like me and you enjoy playing flash games, stop
February 26th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
level:981 ahahaahahaa……………

March 16th, 2007 at 4:16 am
this game is awsome i still dont get the halway trick tho some1 plz explain it to me.

ACTUALLY I DIDNT
March 20th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
This game is f*#$cking additive. Spend too long playing it and reading all these hints: Thanx guys!
Just got to 101. Screenshot and strategy follows tomorrow.
2 things: end-of-the-hallway-trick and DON’T hit the spacebar. These are the secret to success. Then the Ulllltimate towerrrrrrrrs are easy to make.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
If you hold down the space bare right before you finish a wave, it will quickly count the wave count higher and higher. You can immediatly jump to level 99 that way.
March 21st, 2007 at 2:39 am
the guy who posted as YELLOW MAN on the 19th of March is an imposter kill him now

I got to level 70. I just bought the water towers and used the end-of-the-hallway setup. If you upgrade them all the way and put one at the end of all the hallways, you can’t do much better than i did. By the way, i never got the chance to buy that flower tower, how do you get the money to?
April 1st, 2007 at 2:52 am
OH MY GOD i just put a non upgraded fire tower at the the middle and they all just disappear im currently on lvl 120
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:59 pm
I find Flash Element TD highly more fun and addicting. The main thing that puts your game down is the time limit. 20 seconds per round? Doesn’t make sense.
My ratings-
Your game= 72%, C-
Flash Element TD= 96%, A
April 4th, 2007 at 12:18 am
Have you played Flash Circle TD or Desktop Tower defense? I am curious as how you would stack those games against Flash Element TD.

apparently Roman is making a new version or it might be sum nerd in his mums basement saying hes roman and putting a msg here

HOW DO I STACK?
OR BUILD BEFORE START`??

April 12th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
i duno how to stack, but if you hit the minimize button on the top right corner of ur monitor, then u click the very side of the now minimized page, cna u drag it to make the page slim(but not too slim) then u click the very bottom and pull it all the way down
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:16 am
Well, I tried an experiment with the money cheat and some slight stacking and I made it to level 132(no skip cheat). In all I had about 180 fully upgraded flower towers.

May 7th, 2007 at 11:43 am
ok guys the spacebar glitch always works all you must do is hold it down it doesnt matter when you start to hold it down the first wave MUST end before you do this but the spacebar glitch DOES work…
May 7th, 2007 at 11:48 am
this game gets boring I got to level 97 by glitching with the green towers setting them at the end of every hallway and upgrading them start with a green turret at the very tip of the first hallway at the bottom and upgrade it COMPLETELY!!! then let him kill them he should last to about level 54 by himself by then you will have enough money to but the powerful turret and upgrade it ONCE. Place this on the second hallway after the first turn… Then buy another green turret and upgrade completely. Place this one at the end of the 3rd hallway continue placing green turrets at the end of hallways and upgrading them completely and you will get to level 97 DONT HIT SPACEBAR AT ALL!!!!!!!!! If you can get pass level 97 let me know how GOOD LUCK.
May 7th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
how do you stack i can get to lv 80 without stacking i just wont to see if i can get any futher with stacking

May 27th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
First of all, have any of you tried stretching the swf? go to
http://www.onemorelevel.com/games3/tower-defence.swf
then drag the right side of your browser about halfway across your screen. you should be able to see the top of the start. if you build a nature tower there it should last you a while and get you a lot more cash than normal. I did that and built some towers at the bottom between the two hallways and got to 86. stretching works horizontally as well but doesnt really help.
here’s a pic of my 86.

May 28th, 2007 at 4:17 am
Neat little game! I did a cost breakdown in relation to the damage each units is capable of contributing to see if I could get past the low 80s. Still haven’t, although the end-of-hallway trick with the rate-of-fire and good placement seem to work well. I have no clue how the creator got to 90 without cheating.

The first Flower Tower requires $3000 in the bank but costs $2000. At 9000 damage it has a Damage:Cost ratio of 4.5 which is the best in the game outside the final Flower Tower upgrade. But due to the extra range of the Nature Tower and the fact you can buy it before you get $3000 makes it a solid investment. I have thought that maybe doing Flower Towers as soon as possible in good placement may get me to 90, but I dunno.
I didn’t fill in all the range data, nor have I looked at the source for Rate-of-Fire information.

I found a glitch on the V2 that was posted earlier. If you hit pause after a wave is distributed, finish off the wave, then hit space, the game will keep spitting out enemies while keeping you on the same level. I have only tried this a couple of times, but it has worked every single time.

I am currently on level 84 and have 7 ULLTTIMMATTE TTOWWERRs, 2 Living towers and currently 138567 gold and constantly going up. I just level up when I know I can hold off the levels above because I can get money faster on higher levels, unless anyone can dispute that point.

damn i got level 71 by maxing out ice towers…..damn this is gay i spend way too much time on this game ha
June 11th, 2007 at 6:31 am
10 or 11 is my max at the moment lol
il keep trying tho
June 11th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
i got to level 1761…. but i found (and exploited) a bug… if you press and hold spacebar for the next wave, it will keep skipping to the following wave at a VERY fast rate. Whilst it is doing this it is not actually producing anymore invaders (the black dots). so i just held the space bar down for about a minute and got to level 1761.
Should be simple to fix tho yeah?
Thanks for a great game though, thoroughly addicting!

got to 79 on my second try, every try after than is between 78 - 81. The flower tower is not is not worth it for it’s range and lowered attack range, and the third upgrade just lowers the attack range again, ridiculous.

September 18th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
I managed to beat the game on the hardest level. Simply put I used nothing but upgraded pellet towers (sniper towers) and basically filled the entire screen with them. This made all of the enemies walk around the perimeter and get the most damage. Also I did not use any of the boost towers. They cost allot to upgrade when it is cheaper and more powerful other fully upgraded towers.
October 5th, 2007 at 5:44 am
hey nice game i only got up to wave 18 lol ….. how do i use cheats?

October 30th, 2007 at 10:12 am
My best is still 112 (using my variation of Jester’s method). I figure 113 is possible with exactly perfect positioning of towers, but I was never able to do it. I haven’t played in months, so I probably couldn’t make it to 110 anymore.
I had posted a few posts including my link to one of my 112 screenshots shortly after my early message here, and I also posted a detailed description of the method I use to essentially ensure at least 109, but I think I posted too many posts in a row or something, so the last few had errorsand never ended up appearing, and the first few (aside from the very first) just disappeared around the same time. It’s a real shame because I could use the walkthrough to help me.
I suppose I could still use the few screenshots I uploaded and try to remember what order I placed them in, but my walkthrough would have helped more.
But yeah, if anyone makes 113 without hacking, using the money cheat, or using the spacebar cheat, let me know exactly how, and post a screenshot including the towers above the start.
IIRC what I did was place the first nature tower a slight amount above the start (enough to stack another tower later just a pixel beneath it and a pixel above the start) and perfectly centered. Then I upgraded the nature tower to max (placing a lvl1 water tower somewhere unimportant if neccessary early on to stay alive).
After I had enough money for the Ultimate Armed Tower, I placed that a “pixel” beneath the nature tower. I then upgraded that to a TTHHE ULLTTIMMATTE TTOWWERR as soon as possible (I always make sure to click upgrade immediately).
My next ultimate tower was approximately centered between the 4th and 5th dots lined up above the path (probably containing more of the 4th than the 5th) and still horizontally centered as best as possible with the dots and the path.
My third ultimate tower went approximately 2.5 dots above the start, give or take a bit.
After that, it became more productive to place the remaining towers at points other than the start (I think I had done a few tests to see if 1,2,3,or 4 ultimate towers was the best number to place at the start). The 4th tower went centered beneath the second turn, and the 5th went centered beneath the last turn.
A few notes on this, however:
This was from my 111 screenshot I posted much earlier, so I probably improved a bit to get my 112 screenshots. I think one thing I did was put the 6th tower above the second-to-last turn (or maybe it was still beneath the last.. idk), and the 7th tower (whcih I never was quite able to finish upgrading, but I got to orange with ver 10,000 money to spare IIRC) was placed in the other of those 2 spots I just mentioned.
Remember to never press space bar, never put 2 towers on the same x+y (where (x,y) is the coordinate of a tower) so as not to risk one disappearing, always upgrade towers as quickly as possible, and always place towers so that they primarily fire perfectly vertically.
I hope other people can get 110+ by means of my method, and this may sound odd to say, but I hope I am “legally” beaten, so that I can see how a 113 would be done. Aside from any insane techniques we may have missed, I don’t think 115 is possible without cheating (I consider space bar, hacking, and money cheats to be cheating).
But yeah, I challenge you all to modify my strategy to get a 115, post your full screenshot (including towers above start), and tell us your exact method.
Good luck (and this is a real post… I’m not one of those “OMFG I JUST GAT 157 WIT 10 STOM TOWERS.. THSE r TE KEY” people -_-).
October 30th, 2007 at 10:44 am
This is still me. I just didn’t want to post again with the same name/email out of fear that everything I posted within this period of time would be deleted again.
If you consider placing towers above the start to be cheating (which it isn’t really any more cheating than just placing a few towers near the top to kill off a few extra dots), then I think the best is 89 (Sanine’s doesn’t count because that was before the game was modified to decrease the range/firing speed of the various ultimate towers). If you also consider stacking to be cheating, then the best I’ve done is 87. Since Sanine edited the game not too long after it was first released, I do not think it is possible to get the best , fully-upgraded tower without using one of the techniques or cheats, but I really don’t consider stacking and placing before start to be cheating - certainly not in the way that hacking, moneycheating, and spacebaring are.
Also, does anyone know of a way to get a score less than 2?
But yeah, I think 113 is possible, I’m not sure about 114, and I don’t think 115 is possible using only the allowed techniques.
Adding the money cheat, that guy earlier got 132. I might see if I can beat that so as to see what the maximum value for that is.
Adding the spacebar cheat, I have only gotten into the low 9000s before either I let go or some error happened that caused the game to continue.
Adding hacking, well, you could just make it so it displays your round as infinity.
If I was good with webmastering, I would make a website to host the high scores in various catagories (and subdivide some of those by validity into “almost certainly legit,” “likely legit,” and “unlikely legit.” The “almost certainly not legit” ones would not be posted.
Also, I would limit one score per person, and I might rank ties according to the remaining money upon death. I wouldn’t try to make it TOO official, for it would be nearly impossible to make a perfect high score list, but I would try to make sure everything is reasonable and put in the right catagory.
I would also allow strategies to be posted on this theoretical site, but as I just stated, I won’t be able to make this site and it probably woldn’t even be worth making, so w/e… we can just list them here.
Once I find some of my old screenshots and play the game a few more times (and look through this page for other qualifying links), I may post a few lists here.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Hmm… it appears someone here really hates me. My posts were deleted for no reason yet again. Could someone tell me what is going on? I typed out some long, good messages, and I don’t like it when they just disappear (without even giving me the chance to copy/paste) like that.
I’m playing an infinite money version right now to see how high I could go on that. I placed a lot of ultimate towers overlapping above the start first, and I’m making thousands of money even in waves 40 and such. I also placed a lot of other ultimate towers around the place, particularly centered on the corners, but now that I have all the edges filled with ultimate towers, pretty much any new tower I place destroys an old one, so I’m just going to let it run now… could take longer than normal though because it seriously slows down the clock. At least lowering the quality helped restore the clock to some degree.

wait… nvm… the posts are still there… I guess my internet is just messing up this time
sorry

the end of hallway trick is to center your towers so when they fire you dont see them firing. you can put any combo together with it and get 80 but my and my co workers cant get above 83 yet but are close to 84 79+ is all luck. place you green tower at each coner centered so they hit the wave head on you can have 11-12 pully upgraded towers by 80 with 5 civ left but you lose the last of them in a wave or two. havent been able to upgrade to the 15000 flower i think it cant be done. with the min towers of 3 greens you can only make it to 13k when 20k is needed to go from flower1 to 3 flower 2 is useless. you can also place a green tower or two behind the castle fully maxed and run down anything coming to it. this works with hallway plan. will update when we get 84 thanks

Thats what its all about…you gotta get those level 3 flower towers. And you gotta get a lot of them…
My brain hurts…time to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you fail, this is shopped. even if you hack the hell out of the game, get unlimited cash and a mass of fully upgrades flower towers, it is literally impossible to get past level 200. unless you do that storm tower bullshit.
March 1st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
ok, im gonna tell u how 2 get 2 watever level u want.Go on google images and type in tower defence and theres one called tower defence HACKED. click on it and it comes up normal cept u automatically have about 60000000 cash (!) This’ll get u wateva u want ans also if u hold down spacebar to skip a wave but keep it held down then you keep skipping the levels at BLINDING SPEED without actually having to do them. I got to level 2350 wiv this genius method.
