Space Tower Defense
One way to make an effective challenge is to provide something to protect and then send waves of ever-improving enemies toward it as in Space Tower Defense. In case the title didn't tip you off, this is a tower defense game that also has humble beginnings in the world of flash games. It's the far future on either a highly technologically advanced Earth or perhaps a whole new planet. You've been put in charge of the defensive perimeters as enemy forces of advanced vehicles and war machines are attempting to break through to your base. The good news is that you have access to some pretty impressive tech.
About Space Tower Defense
A tower defense game needs to present a daunting but still fair challenge that gives you plenty of time to adjust your strategy. This game presents a selection of different courses and paths with a lot of vantage points to build all your different towers. If can be generous with the amount of power you build up so that you can easily build and sell new towers as need be. The thing is that you need to come up with a strategy that ensures enough delay in enemy advancement so that you can make the necessary changes while there's still time.
How to Play
Space Tower Defense is a 3D tower defense game about protecting your base using the mouse and keyboard. The arrow keys can be used to move the camera around the map to see the layout of the map. The cursor is used to navigate the tower UI and select which towers you want to build by clicking on their icons with the Left Mouse button. You then have to choose an open space (indicated by green outlines) to place the tower. The goal of each level is to keep your base safe until your towers have eliminated all the waves.
When the level begins, you have a limited amount of energy to place your first few towers. After they've been placed, the waves will start coming. Your health and energy are shown in the top left corner and the wave progression is shown in the top right corner. When the bar fills up, the wave will end. Your base is indicated by a highlighted red area on the path and if an enemy reaches it, you'll lose health. If your health drops to zero, you'll need to restart the level.
Before you place a tower, you can see its effective range. After it's been placed, it will automatically fire at any enemies that enter its range. By clicking on the tower, you can choose to upgrade it or sell it. Each tower can be upgraded twice which improves its related stats.
Tips and Tricks
As it goes with these types of games, you'll want to have a variety of different towers to improve your coverage. Junctions and bends in the path are particularly important as the towers placed around them will be able to hit enemies the most times. Prioritize building numbers before you start upgrading.
