This game is amazing. My new favourite tower defense.

Other tower defense games I think are worth a plug: Defender's Quest lets you customize your towers with an RPG skill system; and Immortal Defense has some interesting twists on the formula.

Great time waster. Lots of fun. Many variables. Game was made in Uruguay.

Thanks, you guys. Mark, I realize the first level is maybe too hard, that’s why, in the docs, I show the beginnings of a good solution.

That was fun! I liked the idea of building walls to force the monsters to go through a maze of towers.

You don’t mess around! The first level is tough!

I spent FAR too much time on this game… .managed to finish it with all the stars and extra challenges, then did it all again with no upgrades. That took forever. I had a very unproductive month. A fun one though!

I play it on my PC’s Chrome browser. Too much fun. Not enough sleep.

I loved Kingdom Rush! I played it all the way through, and started the special challenges.

The little trolls and wolves and spiders are so cute. I like that style of fantasy art.

I have never designed a tower defense game, but I’ve played a ton of them, and I totally agree: Kingdom Rush is awesome. I’m not sure why it is … maybe the variety of enemy abilities and strengths and weaknesses? Maybe the depth of choices the game offers in terms of play styles?

I don’t know how they did it, but I’d be interested to hear what a game developer thinks they got right.

I enjoy the iPhone version when I am wearing reading glasses. Otherwise it does kind of look like little bugs running across the screen.

I LOVE tower defense games. I’ve played them all. I’ve even written one. Kingdom Rush is the best one. I’ve played it through from fresh start to end at least 3 times. 99 cents is a steal.

I am obsessed with this game. I have 3star+ completed EVERYTHING, plus challenges, and I STILL play it. I can’t see it being as good on a small screen though, could get frustrating.
