Would anyone care to try out a multiplayer TD game in java? It's called creepsmash and you can have 2-4 players per game. There's 16 maps available and it uses a point based ladder for high scores.
The way it works is you build/sell/upgrade towers to defend against the creeps that the other players send your way (so you control both towers and creeps!). When you send a creep, it adds into your income value, which gets deposited into your money every 20 seconds.
Tower Defence games just aren't my style. No matter if the author adds a twist, it's still just like playing your average tower defense. Same with tetris and snake.
I like tower defense games too. Those games are almost the only flash games I like, since other games like RPG's or adventures are to my opinion better on a console. Don't get me wrong, because games like Monsters' Den is a great game. But to my opinion, if you really want to play a great looking game, don't do it in flash. Flash games can be addictive indeed, but in most of the cases it are arcade games. Wich includes tower defense, I mean they are arcadisch right? . And for the rest of genres I really prefer Pc games or consoles.
Cool. Some people don't like tower defence games. I like them because they keep me busy and envolve skill to be good at them. Or at least most of them do.
