Robo Defense FREE now available!!

After many months of very hard work, Robo Defense FREE is now available on Android Market. The abstract will tell you most of what you need to know:

Robo Defense is the ultimate portable tower defense experience. Featuring open maps to allow countless strategies, upgradeable towers, permanent stat upgrades, a revolutionary achievement system, smooth frame-rates, and some pretty sweet graphics. The free version features 1 map with 11 difficulty levels.

The full version will feature additional maps and a lot more difficulty levels. We hope to release it in about a week or two.

As we were not first to market with a tower defense game, most people will get the gist of how to play. Basically, robots are trying to get from one side of the map to another, and it's your job to stop them by building and upgrading some defense towers.

More info to come...

  1. Great game. Really impressive graphics/gameplay. Definitely best RTS engine available on android now.

    Please fix the back button. When you have selected a tower, pressing 'back' should show the map, not exit the game.

  3. I'm enjoying this game & will buy it shortly. (I also bough Retro Defense, which is also fun.)

    As was said above, the app needs to handle the Back key press smartly so that it doesn't exit the game.

    I wish that some of the towers could attack enemies more than 1 square away. For example, guns won't work in a second row -- they can only be 1 row deep. Similarly, the slow towers cannot work in the second row. This is especially problematic for airplanes but also regular ground-based enemies.

    I wish the fast forward didn't reset to normal at the end of each round.

    When you launch the app, consider showing a splash screen first, and THEN launching the app or restoring the game. There's a big pause right now between launching the app icon and when you see some UI (for the first launch). There's also a noticable pause when task switching and the game state needs to be restored. Showing a splash screen or super basic animation would make the game feel a lot more responsive.

    I'd like to see a few more improvements, but this is a good start.

  5. I wish there was a strategy guide somewhere, this game gets really hard at a higher difficulty. I'm not sure how to start my strategy or what order to buy turrets... get a missile launcher at the beginning? Or wait? Etc.

  7. hi, i love this game .. been playing it for more than a month now and so have unlocked a lot of achievements and rewards ... but i was planning on flashing my HTC Magic with a different rom, and was wondering if there was an easy way to transfer all of those over or would i have to start from scratch again?

  8. It would appear that the full version is not available for unlocked phones. If the developer would be so kind as to publish a version that can be purchased by unlocked phones, that would be great.

  9. i have an unlocked phone ... the issue is that some wireless providers (e.g. Rogers in canada) have blocked paid market for one reason or another .. you need to root your phone, there are numerous guides online ... just google .. and then install Market Enabler .. this will enable all paid apps on your market .. and then you need a google checkout account to enjoy all the paid apps

  10. By "unlocked", I meant "dev". I'm not particularly interested in sidestepping the issue - I'd much rather see developers become educated to do (in my personal and decidedly non-official opinion) the right thing: don't flip the copy protect bit when publishing the app.

  14. I'm playing the free version. Its awsome! Does anyone know if I buy the full version do I lose my achievments, points and upgrades?

  15. I'm playing it for quite a while, I'm at level 60 now. It is amazing what a good job the designers of this game did. My opinion is that this is the best game money can buy; it never crashed in all this time, the graphics are really extraordinary, plenty of levels and upgrades, a real kick. I want to thank you guys for an awesome game and we are all looking forward for many more like this.

  16. I am up to Level 20. GREAT GAME!! Great graphics, never crashes. Lots of interesting maps. Upgrading DOES NOT lose any of your points/achievments.

    As some others have commented: it would be neat to have different enemies, towers, etc.

    Keep up the great work!

  17. Lupis-
    1) Awesome game!
    2) Cannot find answer to this question...

    I downloaded the Free version. I want to upgrade to the Paid version, but don't want to lose my progress. Is there anything I can do to ensure this? (I do have an SD card installed).

    Thanks for the great new addiction :)

  26. lupis is losing out on a lot of money. Ive tried for days to down load/pay for the full version and it always has a server error. Android fones are the new in and im sure once people play the free version (which is still available and works on the download)they will want to purchase the game.
