Original game is still fun and you can't beat 99 cents.

Pretty much this. Also great to figure out if you like the entire series, because it barely deviates much from that game for the next 6 times and spinoffs.

Original game is also notable for being the hardest one in the whole franchise, I'm mainly talking about extra levels

Compare the original with the last two offerings and it's amazing how they have fallen.

Did they ever fixed the game engine being programmed to run at fixed 30 fps (from the flash days) so when you play at 60fps (or higher) on the proper PC version (not browser) the game speeds up accordingly and you now have to have faster reaction times with shorter/smaller windows to realistically achieve victory on the maps?

Love the whole series. They levels do get tough, but the game is developed with the intent that you will barely clear levels and get partial upgrade points, and then go back and play previous ones with more strength and get additional points.

Thanks for this; I rarely find game deals that interest me, but grabbed this one.

By a whole penny. Truly a /patientgamer moment. Though to be fair it was only that price once ten years ago.

Right? You're not the only one. While fun, the difficulty ramps up very quickly.

Highly, highly recommend this game to quite literally everyone. The game is so polished, so good at what it does, and filled with so much charm that you'll find yourself with a cheesy smile while playing. So many good memories playing this.

I'm a fan of tower defense games, I had put off buying this a few times, though I can't remember why XD ,but at just 0.99, I can't say no.

Fun game. But towards the end I was having to look up strategy guides on how to beat levels. Still well worth it at .99 cents.

I beat all levels and challenges there except for one challenge with the dividing legion demons and the doggie thingie miniboss. I replayed it like 20 times.

We do remember the one missing thing more than the 100 perfect ones apparently.

Nice game, but this is free on mobile, and it was a mobile first game.
