I’ve been slowly making my way through Defense Grid, the tower defense game that I posted about a while back. I’m down to the last two maps, but I’m holding off finishing them until I go back through every single previous map and get at least a Silver Medal on all of them. My wife loves watching me play this game and both of us enjoy figuring out the best way to build a maze on each of the maps. Most of the time though we’d come up with a pretty good maze for a map, then go search on YouTube for a video on how the real experts do it, and then kick ourselves for missing something that seems so obvious in retrospect.
Then when I go look at the leaderboards, I get absolutely blown away by the top scorers. Someone tell how is it possible to get more than 200,000 points and to place nearly 300 towers on a map? Cheats?
That looks like an awesome game. As for the leaderboard, 200,000? Best of luck my friend 🙂
Wow, this game looks kind of cool. Just the type of think I would be interested in when I’m kind of stressed out from school.
After asking around on QT3, I’ve been told that the top 10 to 20 scorers on the normal mode leaderboards are probably hacks. Apparently, it’s possible to get an extremely high tower count by juggling, but nearly 400 is still ludicrous.
