There’s not much better than a challenging tower defense style game. Personally, I love the tower defense style and really enjoy not having to pay to play them. Previously, MythDefense LF has been the only TD game that really kept my interest long term. But when I was asked by Turboshroom to take a peek at Dot Defense, I couldn’t resist taking a stab at a new one.
Starting off with the weapons selection, you have three options available to you. The blue dots are a slow down weapon. The red launches exploding bullets. The green releases a poisonous cloud. All three weapon styles are key to progressing further in to the game, so make sure you learn how to use them together.
The game starts out easy enough with a simple path to defend from the incoming dots. Start by dragging a few weapons near the path and watching them work. I found that placing a green gas cloud at the beginning of the path works well to take the edge off of the bad guys as they come out. Follow this with a few red towers and you will start blasting away. The blue towers need to be placed judiciously around the board to slow enemies down when your big guns come up.
As you max out your weapons, you can tap a weapon on the board to upgrade it. You will see the upgrade option in the center of the screen at the bottom when you tap on the weapon you want to upgrade. The price of the upgrade is on the far right of the center box. The other tip worth noting is that you can speed up the game by tapping the blue level indicator. This will launch the next wave of attackers without having to wait for that long cycling time to end.
As you build out your weaponry, make sure to watch for weak points and leverage the double sided paths. If you can have a weapon that fires twice, it’s a better placement than one that fires once.
Dot Defense is definitely worth playing around with. With an install size of only 7.1 MB, it is a remarkably well coded game. I don’t think it will replace the costly MythDefense LF as my go to tower defense fix, but it’s small size and exciting play will keep in installed on my device for the foreseeable future. Turboshroom did an excellent job of coding Dot Defense as I found no issues with crashing or lagging. Everyone should take a minute to download this game and leave some feedback for the developer.
