Version 1.1.2 has been released. This version adds a new "Boss" character (try to find him!) and an associated achievement. There are also a couple of minor bug fixes.
I killed the boss with my first game today, oddly enough. It was level 68 (I think) and either level 80 or 81. Unfotunately, he died way too quickly and I was in another part of the map. I didn't know what happened until I saw my accomplishment. So, I know it does appear, but that's about it.
Let's try that again, level 68 and wave 80 or 81. The only thing that I can think was unusual was that it was a perfect game up to that point (and for the rest of the level for that matter.)
I found him on level 80 wave 94. Wasn't a perfect game or anything only lost a couple lives. I had between 500 and $1000. Haven't tried level 68 yet so don't know if he is there also.
Here are some ideas for new rewards: Increase range of slow/gun towers Increase power of slow towers Receive the full value of the tower back when you sell it (e.g. $20 from a rocket tower instead of $10)
How about creating some AOE (area of effect) towers? Like maybe a laser tower that costs $10 to charge and destroys all enemies in a line when you fire it. Or maybe some bombs. The mine tower was underwhelming. The teleport tower costs less per use and works on air units too.
The bonus points seems to be achievement points + levels completed without losing a life. The score for each unit includes the bonus points, so it's better to get as many achievements as early as possible. That way you get extra points for every unit after that.
I just wiped my G1, and to my surprise, all my achievements and and points were saved ! that's awesome. to the person who's on level 400 - I can't seem to beat 320. how much starting cash do you have?
There is a backup file in your memory. As long as you don't format your memory you will not lose anything (Too bad this feature did not exist before I wiped mine.
My free version got updated to 1.1.2 no problem, but the paid version seems to have disappeared entirely. I tried uninstalling the paid version, and now can't find any way to reinstall it.
btw, on firefox 3.5, with 3rd party cookies turned off, my post kept getting blanked out when I'd try to post it. Is it supposed to pop up a login/password screen, perhaps?
Lunkwill, is it in your "My Downloads" section of the Market?
David, you have to build a slow tower then upgrade it to an uncharged teleport tower ($20). To charge it, you need to upgrade it again ($3). The difficult part is when you build the slow tower, you need to have another route for them to travel or the game won't let you place it. That means you can't build one directly in front of your base. Once it's a teleport tower it counts as an empty slot though, so you can close up the other routes and force them to go over it. Teleport towers only work when units run over them. The good news is they work on air units as well.
I killed the Titan too. Wave 80, factory level 40. It was a perfect game up to that point. He seems like a really tall unit. Moves quite slowly. Not very difficult to kill.
Seems like the game stores its data on the phone and the SD card file is just a backup. I tried editing that file and it got restored. I suppose if you want to edit it, you have to delete the game data to force it to use the backup.
Ick, posting comments here doesn't seem to work from the android browser, even if I login to my google account first.
Yes, it's in the "my downloads" section, but when I try to install it I get "download failed". Also, the description mentions 1.1.2, but the grey text below it still says 1.1.1.
to kinglupis: i'm on level 350, and twice already, the game froze on me and the level reset.. kinda really sucks when you're on wave 80, it takes a while to get there. it seems like it jams up, freezes, then says 'internal error 500' and then the level restarts. fix?
I get that Internal Error: 500 > 500 error a lot also. It is definitely annoying, considering the deafening silence from the author on it. I can get it 3 or more times per level.
I got the Titan a second time yesterday, on level 84, wave 80. He's tall, slow, and not very hard to kill. He made it through less than 1/2 of my gauntlet.
1.6 (donut) fixes the 1.1.2 version problem I was having. I do still have long (many second) freezes, when even the home and end-call buttons don't work. Usually just when a long flight of jets is coming through. :/
where can i download the complete game. i only have the free version on my htc Hero, but i cant seem to find any link for dowloading the complete game ?????????????
I have the exact same problem, I can't see the full version, only the free version in market on a Htc Hero from Denmark :-/ why can't we buy it from here? Looking at the requests out there it seems that you guys are loosing quite a lot of money I guess...
I run a swedish blog which writes about the best Android Apps available, the url is: http://www.googleandroid.se
Loved(!) the demo and would like to write a review of the full game (have written about the FREE version) so if it would be great if you could send me the full game for review.

ReplyDeleteAnybody else has problems spending reward points?it won't let me!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the boss like? Is he fast? Tough?

Killed the boss on level 400 around wave 80. The cash made it easier to complete the level with a perfect.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have to wipe my G1, how can I export (and re-import) my credits and achievements? Thanks in advance.

it says that. I purchased it. But its stuck at the downloading screen. If any one. Can. Help. Email. Me. Timjones113@gmail.com. pretty. Please
ReplyDeleteI think the boss appears when your bonus reaches 123. That's why you might see him even if it's not a perfect game. I saw him on level 79 today.
ReplyDeletei even made a video sample of gameplay - http://hero-user.blogspot.com/2009/10/robo-defence-free-htc-hero-demo.html
ReplyDeleteGreat game!
I have all 57 achievement points ... now what?
