If you want to do anything even remotely useful in the next 24 hours, DO NOT try the following game: Desktop Tower Defense. I’ve tried it, and even though I have room for a lot of improvement (and I mean, a LOT, I can’t even make it through the first stage on a level that allows me to post my score) I’ve wasted too many hours and too many megabytes bandwidth playing this little browsergame.
The idea, like many revolutionary games, is extremely simple. You have life points, and a certain budget which you will need to use wisely to defend yourself against the passage of numerous waves of rather dumb enemies. You know where they will be coming into the world, and you know where they will be headed. You even know what type of enemy will be next. The only thing you have to make sure is that they don’t get to the other end of the square, or you loose life points. For every enemy you destroy, you get money, which enables you to invest in upgrades or in new structures for defense.
Desktop Tower Defense is some sort of legend, really. It is rumored that the maker was able to earn 10 000$ a month using advertising, due to the popularity of the game.
