    Thoughts on Geo Defense and Geo Defence Swarm:

    I've been having tons of fun playing both GD and GD Swarm; they are both fun games. Can't wait for GD2!

    Suggestions:

    In novice mode of GD, have the ability to upgrade and add to your tower defenses while the game is paused.

    In Swarm, have a button that automatically upgrades all your turret towers. Having to click each one is very frustrating, especially in the heat of battle.

    Have the sliding effect in the level select screen for Swarm as well.

    Endless levels in GD.

    Give hints at defeat in GD as well.

    Bring back vortex towers in Swarm!

    Different types of creaps:
    (1) Ground crawler creeps that move under ground and can only be killed by thumpers, though thumpers deal lots more damage on these buggers.
    (2) Jumping creeps that can jump over turrets but not lazers, rocket launchers or thumpers.
    (3) Slow moving, teleporting creeps that gain more energy to teleport by lazers.
    (4) Creeps that fight back!
    (5) Shelding creeps that shield nearby creeps untill defeated. *

    Behind You!
    1.1 update out! According to their website, the update includes:

    Fix: Fixed bug where time sometimes went backwards or skipped (due to time syncing) and lead to hitches/crashing.
    Fix: Fixed two bugs that caused saved games to not load properly (the crash on startup you sometimes get that loses a saved game).
    Fix: When you put your phone to sleep, the game now pauses properly.
    Improvement: Upgraded to the latest and greatest OpenFeint. Better leaderboard display, ability to logon out, and more.
    Fix: You can no longer drag a connection line from a tower in the build bar.
    Improvement: Thump Towers now only "thump" when a creep is near enough, so it's easier to tell what they are doing.
    Improvement: Thump Towers impact causes a small flash on creeps so you can tell they are being damaged.
    Fix: Fixed bug where large game scores will "roll over" and become negative (happened with really good players on endless levels)
    Improvement: High Scores are displayed with commas for easier reading. Any new high scores are also submitted to OpenFeint this way.
    Improvement: Better Icon (Yay!)

    Sorry if this is off topic, but can somebody give me a link to the geo defense thread (original, not swarm)? I can't find it through search...

    Version 1.4 update

    Not showing up in the store yet, but if you redownload (e.g. through iTunes), you'll get it... :)

    At the moment, there's two level packs available for download - one is for free, the other costs $0.99.

    FREE: "Fusion" - A wide-open four-corner medium level

    $0.99: "Reactor" - Adds 5 new challenging medium and 5 new mind-bendingly hard levels. Kiss your free-time good bye!

    Just noticed this was free on the Uk appstore and instantly grabbed it. I still play the original GeoDefence now and again so I'm sure this is worth a play.

    As of now there's just the "Reactor" IAP available according to itunes. But how on Earth can you purchase it in-game? Any ideas?

    Also, I've never liked TD genre but this has to be my favorite game currently, lol! And 3 years after its inception, I have to ask - has there been any better game in this genre since 2009? Thanks!

    Nothing really "better" imo just different types of tower defense. This is still my favorite since the day it came out.

    When you select easy , medium levels etc you are taken to a list of the levels. Scroll to the bottom and there is an option for 'Get More Levels'. Just click on that.

    Thanks, I've already figured that one out myself. Lots os design idiosyncracies in this game for sure. :p

    One thing bothers me immensely thought.. this game is a battery killer! My iP4 goes from 95% down to 20% in a matter of 2 hours. I've never seen another game go through the battery so furiously. Drop7 was bad but this one is a nightmare, for no apparent reason. Has the dev ever adressed this issue??

    Every time that I try to play either geoDef or geoDef swarm I just get a black screen and the game won't load. Does anybody know how to fix thi?
