Desktop Tower Defence - super addictive gaming

It’s not often an online game gets my attention like Desktop Tower Defence has, so I felt it was only right that I share it with you.

DTD is war.  War against creeps - tiny little critters that scurry around the game screen from one side to the other.  Your mission is to stick weapons in a minesweeper-meets-maze style layout, forcing the creeps past all your firepower and hopefully kill them all before they make it out the otherside and escape.

Being flash based, the puzzle/strategy game doesn’t need anything installed other than the Flash plugin.  High scores can be saved online for all to see and you can even create high score groups so that all your work colleages/schoolmates scores are listed together.

Every few seconds sees another wave of creeps launched into your maze, each with their own characteristics.  You may be fighting against speedy creeps, slow but seemingly invincible creeps or even creeps that fly above your towers ignoring your fiendish maze layout.

Once you get the hang of it, a flawless victory can be had on the Easy setting but it will take some practice and clever maze construction to master Medium and Hard!

Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
