Yes! I completed that troublesome level on my second attempt at lunchtime. Look away now if you don’t want spoilers.

I was very chuffed with myself and decided to see how well I’d done on the global leaderboard for the level.

Oh.

I beat the first Medium level! Yeah!

Of course, now the second level is beating me down over and over again. The lack of laser towers and the high cost of all but the standard green towers is presenting an interesting challenge.

Incidentally, I don’t tend to completely change my tactics very often in this game. I normally settle on a rough layout within two or three goes and then the rest of my attempts are spent tweaking it, slightly changing a path, shifting the balance between upgrading existing towers versus building new towers, etc.

Well, it seems level two was a blip. I’ve now beaten all the Easy levels with, well, with ease.

All except the final level, but that’s because it’s an endless level and thus unbeatable. I’ll be trying it for high scores, but the OpenFeint system used for scores seems to be amazingly flaky. It keeps logging me in when I start the game, but then fails to upload my scores. I’m not sure why, as I can go into the system and I seem to be logged in. It’s a pain.

Great game, though, even with the problems with the leaderboards. It’s one of those “everyone with an iPhone should own this” titles.

I finally beat level two! Go me!

I also almost beat level three, but didn’t. Not sure why. It was getting late and my memory is hazy.

I love the difficulty level in this game. I’m very much up for a challenge. I just wish that some of the difficulty didn’t come from my towers being completely idiotic when it comes to choosing targets. So many times enemies amble past my final defenses on tiny slivers of health while my towers decide to fire at enemies that are miles away from the exit. It’s very frustrating, but I guess it’s just something you need to allow for.

Another weekend, another level or two completed.

This is probably my most-played iPhone game now. I adore it. It’s just a shame that I really haven’t got anything new or useful to say about it. It’s a great tower defense game and, well, that’s about it. Just at least try out the Lite version, okay?
