iPhone App: geoDefense

May 9th, 2009

= 5 stars

Tower defense style game where you must prevent waves of “creeps” from reaching the end of a path by setting up various armed towers with a limited amount of money.

The Good

• An excellent version of tower defense that shines in the details. The iPhone’s multitouch makes it really easy and fun to place towers — simply drag and drop them from the bottom row. The creeps march along a defined path that hints at certain types and arrangements of towers (straight lines are ideal for the laser turret). Tap the small timer in the lower left corner to send the next wave of creeps in immediately.
• Vector graphics in a style similar to old Atari games like Tempest, with tons of colors and crazy explosions that warp the playing field and sends sparks flying everywhere.
• Interesting sense of humor — there are jokes before each level, and when you lose the game taunts your failure with “you lose” “the creeps win,” etc.

The Bad

• Your side project of watching every episode of Star Trek before the premiere of the new movie is now moving ahead at warp factor not happening.

Conclusion

This is the best tower defense style game on the iPhone I’ve played yet — I am currently obsessed with it. Highly recommended.
