Flash Element TD
I don’t know quite what it is about tower defense games, but they are a lot of fun. I took a look at a couple of them so far, but Flash Element TD is quickly becoming one of my favorites. With 7 different tower types and a nice range of upgrades the game is pretty fun. One of the aspects that I really like about it is that if any of the attacking enemies make it through the level instead of just loosing a life you also loose the value they were worth in gold, but then they come back through again so you get the chance to get your gold back. So far I’ve made it up to level 38 but not with enough gold left to make it into the top 200 scoreboard. The best I’ve done is to finish with 16,639 putting me in 201th place with 50 lives left. So far my strategy has been to get Fire Towers and upgrade them, but I’m going to need to work out a better strategy I think.

Flash Circle TD
Flash Circle TD is a little different that other tower defense games I’ve played. Instead of loosing a life when an enemy is not killed the enemies just keep circling the tower. Every 20 seconds another wave of enemies joins the attack. If it gets to the point that there are over 100 enemies circling your tower then you loose. I like the twist this puts on the strategy. You do get gold bonuses for killing all the enemies before the next wave comes, but after a dozen levels it gets hard to kill them all in time. So far my high score is only 1928. I don’t really have a strategy yet. I tried using a few arrow towers and a damage tower, but I could not keep up with the onslaught after about level 25.

If you’re into tower defense games give these a try and let me know how you do. If you have a better strategy for one of these games post a comment and give me some pointers.
