Tower Defense Flash Game of the Week: Snafu TD
« on: November 05, 2008, 09:52 AM »
Here's a very nice tower defense game with a military theme.

Some nice features:
  • Multiple missions/maps to select from
  • Nice sound effects and graphics
  • Barriers and path finding (this is a must for a deep TD game)

The only criticisms i would have would be that it doesnt feel like it has enough "progression" -- you start out with enough money to buy one of every tower.  That means there is no feeling of discovery in earning enough to buy some new cool tower.  The best TD games make it really hard to work your way to earning the super powerful towers.

I recommend the 32x32 maps -- the 16x16 ones feel too claustrophobic.
