I hope this hasn't been mentioned before, but I've found an incredible Flash RTS that is just so addicting.

Let's compare scores, shall we? My first time playing I got 529--- might not be great but it was so fun!

I played easiest level 2148 and level 49 which was 2nd from last. Just made a long maze of cheaper weapons that they had to follow kinda zig zagging top to bottom.

how'd you get such a high level? It wouldn't let me continue past a certain number, just said go try the harder difficulty.

550 was my score on the first try, I would've lasted longer but I made the mistake of upgrading my strongest tower to level 5 when they were right by it.

Is that the only game on the website? It wouldn't let me go to the main page.

ooo, that last boss at level 48 made me angry. I killed it, but then it exploded into 2 smaller bosses right at the end. I didn't have any time to shoot it.

Oh well, level 48 2554pts. What really killed me was I upgraded a bunch of stuff at the same time without looking at the timer for the next wave.

3735 at level 50 with 8 lives left. Found out you get extra points for sending the next wave early. Ok, I'm done playing this for now. It's taken up too much study time already.

thats a blatant rip off of the wintermaul and everything beyond it in warcraft 3, and far back as tower defense in starcraft.

A path way that has a double recursive loop for the AI to get bogged down into and maximizes tower
fire is how its played in the real game, kids call them hooks.

I used to play it for years.

If you like this game a lot I highly recommend you play the original concepts via the home made maps in the games mentioned above.

Text can be interpreted wrong on forums, e-mail, IMs, etc. I understand that and am sorry if I read it wrong. It just seemed like you were knocking this perfectly fun little game just because it's a clone of other more popular games. If you didn't notice, I put a little smiley at the end because my comment was half sarcastic... looks like 2 of us can't interpret typed messages

It's a fun game based on all the tower defense maps from starcraft and WC3. I used the maze that I normally use on those type of maps and I beat it on easy with a score of 4348 without losing a life. I used the cheap towers to make the maze and then replaced them with squirt towers. The second line of squirt towers I upgraded to the maximum level which increases their range so that they get to attack 3 times as the creeps move through the maze. I placed the squirt towers in the middle so that I didn't have to build special towers to kill the air units, and it worked really well.

I got to wave 50 on medium 1 life left and 1 damn guy escaped . I will beat medium yet. The flyers are my usual downfall since the previous wave takes so long to kill most of my turrets are occupied when they spawn.

Add your scores on medium/hard to the TGC group.

I wondered why there were suddenly two bosses at the end!

Woo Hoo, finally finished hard, those last 2 bosses are near impossible to kill however. Finally killed one of the spawn bossess just before he went off the screen so instead of losing 1 life for him I lost 2
