Try it (and don't look at my screenshot again)... it's freakin' hard. I beat it the "regular" way too.
Easy level 6 Shoulda Zagged!!! I have been easy level 6 for like 4 days and can't figure out how to beat it. Can someone please make a video of how to beat easy level 6? please....
I have to assume that this is on normal mode and not hardcore mode correct? Somehow I've been defaulted into hardcore mode on mine, and spending all my cash littering and upgrading the map for Medium 2 - gordy - I can't seem to beat it. Just curious. I read around 10,11 pages deep and saw no mention of it.. is everyone playing this on hardcore mode or normal mode?
Pretty sure the game is defaulted into hardcore mode, at least it was for me when I bought it. I have yet to play a game on easy mode and I've beaten all the easy levels, I have like 2-3 left to complete on medium, and I've finished like 3 hard levels. I might go back at some point and try playing it on easy mode just to see how different it is.
Now that i've beaten them all, the game isn't as fun once you know the secrets, it's not too much fun to play around trying different strategies... at least for me I need some level packs!
There is no "normal" mode. Hardcore IS "normal." The other option is Novice mode. As for beating Gordy, there are multiple strategies posted in this thread. The one you have highlighted may work, but is woefully inefficient.
WOW - Hard 2 Finally Beat! Erin, thanks so much for the step-by-step on Hard 2 Angular View. The screenshot was a great start, but the instructions are absolutely essential. You don't have a whole lot of time in-between the last few steps, but if you keep your head down and just plug away it will work. Finally I beat Hard 2! This game is so addictive. Best $1 I ever spent!!! Thanks!
Finally beat all levels! Great game! For next versions, in addition to more/diff levels/ puzzles, how bout some kind of "endless mode" like Fieldrunner's (how high/many waves can u beat?) And not trying to be a clone-- but I would enjoy the best of GD mixed w the best of FR like smaller icons/larger map w zoom/pinch action for fine placement of weapons -- useful to fit the 6 weapons in Hard 2 top triangle? (btw, tip for those still stuck, start from top left missile, make sure it's as high as possible by starting at center & "push" till flush to top before moving flushing to left & droping it. Then top right missles, then center yellow tower, then middle 2 - which seemed to me fits "higher" if placed slightly away from walls, and finish w bottom last missile). And finally, MORE WEAPONS PLEASE!! Thanks again for great fun!
I too finally beat hard level 2 and actually used less towers than I thought I would have too. Instead methodically updated almost all missile towers to level 5 and it just seemed to work. Amazing how much easier the levels seem now when I am replaying them and understand the game much better. Truly an amazing value at $1.
Technically, the laser towers you can control. If you click on creep the towers will target that creep. Found that out the hard way on Medium 6 when I finally figured out you had to target all the creeps except the lead one (the 'head' of the snake). But I know what you mean -- a tower that only shoots in whatever direction you build, such as straight down a long path, would be nice.
You posted this screenshot win for Hard 6 (X Factor), which is an interesting strategy, but I couldn't get it to work (perhaps I didn't have the right build order). So I used one canon and then all lasers -- 26 in total, upgraded only once -- and finally beat it. I've now beaten all levels. Time for version 2!!
I agree completely with the "endless mode" -- I think that's a great idea. Keep trying to see how far you can get and the creeps just keep coming. However, I despire field runners map movement. Personally, I think as fast paced as this game gets, having to move the screen itself would be crazy. I would prefer the next version add an "endless mode" and more weapons. Oh, and some documentation on the upgrades would be nice.
If the screen shot says "New High Score" then you know it's in hard code mode because novice mode doesn't record high scores. Funny, I didn't even know there was a novice mode until I read about it here. I have finally beaten all the levels and went back and played some of the harder ones on novice mode . . . it should be called tutorial mode because you cannot lose!!
Finally Beat Hard 2. I had trouble for the longest time even following the setup and strategy posted here. Ultimately, I was able to beat it by following the steps posted by Erin(THANKS!) with one exception, I only upgraded the two lasers to level 3. This way you have more time & money to build up the lower four missle towers to level 6 before the creeps start breaking through. Once the bottom four are at level 6, start building and upgrading the last 5 missle towers with shock as fast as possible. I concentrated my last four missle towers close to the base also.
If you finished all maps and still looking for some fun out of this game, I suggest to play those maps again to try beating it without losing life. It's great fun as well.
