Robo Defense

I'm on level 630 now. Perfect on survival mode! That is impressive. I'll have to go back and try that. I saw on the comments section for robo defense someone said they are at level 1490...

My new goal is to beat this person.

Does anyone have a definitive answer on WHO has the top score in this game? I just beat level 640. I use primarily the VR map with very few cubes in it (seems to be the easiest, and more space for guns, etc.)

This game is SO addicting. It has ruined my life. I have thought of opening my open private REHAB clinic just for people with this type of affliction. It is the worst disease I've ever had and I can't put it down!

Does anyone out there actually use BURN towers? I've never found a use for them.

I believe that teleport towers are the key to mastering this game.

well ever since i found and started using the gamecih2 memory hacking app, simple and mind numbingly repetitive games like this are boring. wait they were boring after the 200th level what am I saying.

Beat vr-d coded survival perfect. got i dont know 2 or 3 hundred million points. its been quite a few months though so i may be off a bit on that number.

I guess I should have restated the question as, Who has got the highest score WITHOUT hacking into the program to cheat? I assumed that would be obvious to anyone over 10 years old. Of course if you hack into a program, you can get any score you want to, but why bother? If you're going to waste your time on a game you're cheating yourself on, why not just write your own game and give yourself the highest score in the world? I don't see the point or the fun in it. I'm pretty sure this game or any other game in the world would get pretty boring pretty fast if you hacked it in some way to make it easier.

I'm just going to pass over the hacking comment... Anyways, the game is fun as it is I don't know why you'd mess with it. I'm curious too what some of the high scores are out there. TrayBoz, what do you mean by high score? Total money earned in a level? Highest level achieved? Total points?

Right now my max level is 780. I earned a little over 30 million on a level.

I never use burn towers because the mortars will do it. I make sure they're spaced well enough so those robos feel the burn the whole way through. I only use a teleport tower or two on the path of the airplanes. Other than that my advice is "buy and sell."

Anyone use the tower mix mode? It's actually kept the game pretty spicy.

Llamb - what do you mean by the tower mix mode? I always mix up all different kinds of towers, except the burn towers, I've never gotten into using those. I always put 8 teleport towers in a row in a straight line in front of the exit to catch any stragglers I might have missed, or for aircraft I haven't built up for enough yet. I've discovered I don't need any gun towers at all OR anti-aircraft towers once I build up to mostly Heavy rocket towers. I only use regular gun towers in the beginning when I'm building my maze and never upgrade any of them, I just replace them with rocket towers as I get the $$$. I've got almost all of my upgrades now to about level 40, except for burn towers since I never use them. I just completed level 650 last night, so you're about a week ahead of me. I always jump up ten levels at a time, and using the teleport tower method, I haven't lost a game in about a month.

I'm sure there are a million different strategies out there, some better, some worse, but this is the one I found and got used to and it seems to work well for me, so I'll keep using it until I find something better. I've never been able to master any of the crossroad-type maps, or maps where there are multiple entrances and exits. I've had enough fun just playing the single entry/exit map in VR mode with almost NO blocks. Just make sure you pick a vr map where the robo's are moving horizontally, not vertically - those are much harder. I construct my mazes in perfect vertical lines in a way to maximize squares (spaces) so that there is a tower in every spot on the map, except for one single pathway, of course. Early in the game I always put my rocket towers near the center of the map, and gun towers around the edges, then upgrade the gun towers slowly as I build more funds up.

What an addictive game. It's given me a reason to WANT to stand in line at the pharmacy or have to wait 30 minutes for an oil change. I've gotten 3 or 4 of my friends hooked on it in the past month. They won't talk to me any more.

You get the tower mix mode after you beat survival mode all the way through. There's 100 levels for survival but the last round is actually all the way up to level 1000! It's a grind, I think it took me like and hour and a half. The new mode changes the properties of the towers. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good.

I only use two teleport towers for aircraft and if enough of them fly by I just open and upgrade for $3 as quickly as I can. You can pick off a stream of like 15 planes if you're quick enough without any getting through.

I never considered the gun turrets important. If you get good properties on mix mode though they can be successful. I had some with huge range and power, cost $10 to build. A full map of just them even could handle all the airstrikes!

The multi door maps are more fun for strategy. The roadway is a good one as well. On most maps I'm the opposite of you. I build anti-aircraft guns and mortars, not much need for rocket launchers. I wonder if anyone uses mines and mine-chains.
This game is definitely causing many phone related carcinogenic cancer deaths a year.

That was probably me. I vaguely remember posting somewhere about being at 1490 a while back. I am currently around 1680 or so. I earn about 50 million with each perfect level I complete. Buying anything is extremely expensive-- like it will cost me about 1.5 Billion to increase my starting lives by one (to 84). Most tower object levels are around 600%. . . (The advantage of having a lot of lives is that you get paid for them at the end. Better bonus than for having a perfect score.)

The fun part is finding the best tower-mix code. I was hoping to find a discussion of best codes. I've tried hundreds and have found some that are very good. I actually don't think I could have gotten this far without using a good tower-mix code. We'll see how far this takes me. Upgrades are getting more and more expensive and less significant.
(Oh, and I have never cheated or used a hack.)

And I thought I was good getting to level 15..sigh :P
