    No shockwave used, I open with blaster+laser, add one more blaster, then fill near center part of X with lasers.

    Map2, I can manage to see wave 30. But can't even kill wave 29.

    I FINALLY beat medium 2!!!:cool: It took me forever.

    I won by dropping towers all over and not upgrading anything until my setup was finished. I used all lasers, missile towers, and the shockwave towers. I also used a couple vortex towers, but I don't know how much they helped.

    By the time I was set up I was able to concentrate solely on upgrading and was gaining enough funds to do it constantly.

    I took a screen shot, in case anyone is as stuck as I was.

    ^^first i would start like this

    and then put some blaster towers or missile towers in there and maybe a shock tower and just keep upgrading the lasers and missiles

    i started playing the level and looked away for about 6 waves and came back with $200 and still won pretty easily, so you shouldn't rly have too many problems

    tough to give a strat when i don't have a screenshot... but

    I placed a blasters on the inside corner of the 3rd, 4th, 5th turn (this blaster is key and you want to upgrade this one FIRST, it will be your last line of defense for the first half of the waves. Placed a lazer on the outside corner of turn 3 and 4 and later in the game when you have money place it on the outside of turn 5.

    approx 2/3rds through the waves... you will place a rocket in the middle of the second loop and make sure it covers turns 4 and 5 and upgrade until 6 (one before max)

    That upgrade constantly and you will see daylight... I can do it now without losing a life.


    hope that helps!

    Gordy! ah so close 15 games!

    Yeah, I'm stuck on Gordy Medium 2 and I thought I threw the book at the creeps, blew up 4 vortices but still not enough damage to stop the fast stars. I can't figure out if it is better to upgrade the vortex or the linked shooter or vice versa for maximum effect, ugh.


    I'm going to try doubling up on a line with a pair Lasers, thanks for the screen shot.

    I love this game!

    Hi guys!

    I'm new here and geoDefense is downloading right now, I can't wait! I love TD's

    EDIT: When I tried putting it on my phone, it said it wasn't compatible, and I saw there was an update for the software, so I'm downloading that right now. :(

    I noticed two Bugs on level 2 medium:

    1. You can build tower right of the right path, but you cannot select them, therefore also not upgrade them.

    2. You cannot build towers below the bottom path. There's plenty of room there, but it shows me a red circle when I drag a tower there.

    I also noticed that I am not able to select towers when they where build directly beneath each other. I can select one, but not the other. Seems like the tapping radius is bigger than the tower and overlaps the tapping radius of the other tower.

    Man I have been so addicted to this game. I know i was weary about the difficulty, but honestly, I think it is well done. I can see how the easy difficulty can turn non gamers away, so I think it's a great idea to make easy 2-4 easier.

    But yah please do not touch the rest of the game! This is the BEST TD game out!!! I can't say enough about it. I feel so accomplished once I beat a level. I spent 1 hour on level 5 on easy (I know...I suck, and was quite frustrated), but man, once i beat it, I felt SOO GOOD. I have already definitely got my moneys worth. Great job David!!!

    I hope to see more updates with maybe more weapons, maps, and weapons. I have introduced this game to 2 of my friends and we all LOVE IT!!!

    Thanks again for listening to all our comments and for those of you on the fence, just buy it!!! I would gladly play 5x the introductory price!! The Graphics are amazing too and I love the sound effects :)

    It's now the 3rd day I'm stuck with level 2 medium. But I love the game! I never played the real old super-hard games on the first consoles, but from what I read, this seems to have the same feeling, regarding how hard and challenging it is to beat. And you always think "oh, well, let's try something else" and bam 15 minutes are lost ;).

    Edit: GeoDefense ist #10 in the top apps charts (not top games chart!) in the german store. Well deserved!

    Just as a sidenote: While searching for another game I came accross retro defense, which was released in early december.

    http://appshopper.com/games/retro-defense-lite

    I watched this youtube video and fell asleep instantly:



    Retro Defense, while having a nice neon vector look, fails in this and overall looks very calm. They also pause the game when building a tower and show a new "window" with building options, which completely interrupts everything you've done in the game. So, it seems that Retro Defense is the slow counterpart of GeoDefense. And regarding the number of reviews and the rating in the (german) AppStore, GeoDefense despite being harder than most TD games reaches and satisfies more people.

    Thank you for the good review... now I just need it translated! :D

    I'm not going to nerf the game down. But I did tweak a few of the easy levels just a little. Not radical...

    But tonight I also added a Novice Mode. In options menu you turn it on. When you do, you get more cash and weaker creeps. But no highscore recording.

    What is everyone's opinion on that?

    I like the novice mode. I will keep it disabled, even if it will me cost three more days to solve l2m ;).

    The articles are translated (well, in a funny way) by Google. Just click on the flags on the top right. But I think from what I write here on toucharcade you should know what I like on your game ;).

    Please also take a look at the two bugs I mentioned ;).

    And one idea: Upgrade all.

    Using two fingers you create a rectengular shape. You can then upgrade all or sell all OR (!) pop all. This would be nice in more frantic situations, where you just taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap all the time ;). Just tap with two fingers, tap on upgrade all and all towers get upgrades. IF you have the money of course :).

    Can you email me the bugs: [email protected]
    (Was it the can't select tower thing?)

    BTW, there is a way to pop all vortex towers: Shake the phone! :D

    Ah, I hate shake things in games which do not deal with the accelerometer otherwise. Looks stooopid in the public and also means, that I have to "refocus" my eyes to the gameplay and tower positions after shaking.
