y'all gotta play this game! (addictive)

The game, the basic manual, the more-detailed FAQs (from the forum). Oh, and the unlimited money version .

On the unlimited money version, you can't submit scores. If you try, it says "error" instead of "view score" ... But it is fun for practice and testing weapons
.

Looks like math. Sorry but my prejudice won't give it a chance past the cover image.

Well, if you give it a shot, I think you will enjoy it. I've been playing for about a week now. Since I saw it in this thread.

After about 4 games this is the best I could do. Fun. The best part is I can set it and forget it for a few waves if I want to switch back to the Cellar.

I like the way the missiles just circle around if the don't find anything to hit. I'm on level 86, and nothing's gotten past the first curve.

I picked the spiral because I figured it would give me multiple chances at enfilading them on approach. Unfortunately, it also prevented me from bundling the multipliers like Flint did on his map. The gaps in the spiral are too small to clump together turrets and multipliers.

Even in god mode, with an unlimited budget, it's hard to get past level 135. They just come in too fast.

I think this line's mostly filler.

You need to make more combos.

Not that I've hit 135...

Yeah, I know... But I stopped building missile launchers because with all the missiles in the air, I couldn't see what was happening.

Early in the game, I click on "send now" about every 5 seconds. The guns are strong enough to take out multiple enemies at the same time. It really racks up the cash fast.

In the cheater mode, don't ever click on "send now" because you need that time to be building and upgrading turrets for later. During the height of the game, you can't even see what's going on, it's so crazy. And the CPU uses 95% on this game. This is around level 150.
