RIDICULOUSLY addictive flash game challenge

[Crandaeolon]

2nd try, 10,224,076 points, 2,9M in bank, 20 lives.

3rd try, 12,136,003 points, 3,9M in bank, 14 lives (tried something a bit different.) Gonna give it a rest now for a while.

How do you get so much money in the bank? I can barely get over 2000 without having to spend it. Strategies, please?

Since it's an optimization game, it's kind of hard to offer good tips without spoiling it entirely. Minimal spoiler follows:

The general idea is to get by with as minimal defenses as possible. You'll also want to be a good investor and maximise your interest.

OK, few more tips and then I'll post my screenshots later on tomorrow.

Level 3 reds are your FRIENDS. Level 1 blues non-upgraded work wonders for slowing critters down.

I've done a few solutions using level 1 blues and level 2 purples that worked well, but it was a bit of a struggle.

Green is worthless IMO. They may do decent damage at the beginning, but they have no real bonuses (like slowdown) and later in the game you'll find them to be pretty weak against the level 40 plus critters.


Crandaeolon, those are some NICE scores! I have you beat, just BARELY on that last one; $4,001,102 in bank and score of 12,198,976. That was the run of a lifetime! Try some of the other maps too and see what you come up with.

I was placing blues like mad on level 49 to prevent the sprinters from killing me.

I did a pretty sloppy job here, tried another different approach. It should be quite easily possible to improve a couple million points from here.

I agree, rocket towers and el cheapo slo-mo thingies are the way to go. Dunno if unupgraded rockets are better than upgraded ones - damage is probably more valuable than range, as long as firing coverage is good. Also, to really maximise the score one should let some critters through - ideally the game would be finished with just one life left. Towers should always be purchased only after a wave is sent on its way to cash in on interest.
