Tower Mix Mode
Llamb - what do you mean by the tower mix mode? I always mix up all different kinds of towers, except the burn towers, I've never gotten into using those. I always put 8 teleport towers in a row in a straight line in front of the exit to catch any stragglers I might have missed, or for aircraft I haven't built up for enough yet. I've discovered I don't need any gun towers at all OR anti-aircraft towers once I build up to mostly Heavy rocket towers. I only use regular gun towers in the beginning when I'm building my maze and never upgrade any of them, I just replace them with rocket towers as I get the $$$. I've got almost all of my upgrades now to about level 40, except for burn towers since I never use them. I just completed level 650 last night, so you're about a week ahead of me. I always jump up ten levels at a time, and using the teleport tower method, I haven't lost a game in about a month.
I'm sure there are a million different strategies out there, some better, some worse, but this is the one I found and got used to and it seems to work well for me, so I'll keep using it until I find something better. I've never been able to master any of the crossroad-type maps, or maps where there are multiple entrances and exits. I've had enough fun just playing the single entry/exit map in VR mode with almost NO blocks. Just make sure you pick a vr map where the robo's are moving horizontally, not vertically - those are much harder. I construct my mazes in perfect vertical lines in a way to maximize squares (spaces) so that there is a tower in every spot on the map, except for one single pathway, of course. Early in the game I always put my rocket towers near the center of the map, and gun towers around the edges, then upgrade the gun towers slowly as I build more funds up.
What an addictive game. It's given me a reason to WANT to stand in line at the pharmacy or have to wait 30 minutes for an oil change. I've gotten 3 or 4 of my friends hooked on it in the past month. They won't talk to me any more.
