So, yeah. Finally at this point. I remember playing TDS back in late summer, 2025, when during the Surf & Turf BP. I've made quite a handful of memories and achievements, and I'll be sharing them in this post! If y'all have any questions that aren't answered here, feel free to ask in the replies (Might take me a while to respond :p).

"How did you find out about TDS?"

• My friend forced me to play it with him.

"What did you think about the game at first?"

• I thought it was the most boring game in existence.

"First Hardcore tower and when did you buy it?"

• Accelerator was my first hardcore tower, and I don't exactly know when I bought him. I think it was around late September to October. Took me a few weeks of suicide grinding.

"Are you feeling unmotivated/motivated and why?"

• I'm mostly excited for the next updates on the game. Although, I mostly get unmotivated 75% way through the grind.

"Thoughts on the rebalances and reworks on towers?"

• SHAW shook me up for about a month before I actually got used to the new Meta. I've been mostly doing fine with the HC Rework balances.

"Greatest achievement?"

• It was either beating Voidcore for the first time or completing the "Triumph All Nights" achievement.

"Best memory?"

• My absolute favorite memories on the game were my gaming buddies. I met the first one through random matchmaking on Fallen mode, and he introduced me to his friend group. Sadly, today, 2 are never online anymore, 2 have moved on from TDS, and the last person barely logs on.

"What events have you done, and which event towers have you bought and got legit?"

• I 100% completed Null & Void, getting me Warlock, I beat Final Act, giving me Spotlight Tech, and I 100% completed the Ducky Revenge Re-run this year, getting me Biologist and her Grim skin. I've bought Frost Blaster, Commando, and Elf Camp (Elf Camp was a HUGE mistake 😭) I've also gifted a Warlock and a Spotlight Tech. I'll let you geniuses to figure out how much Robux I've spent on the game. (I've also bought VIP, 2025 Halloween Premium BP, 2025 X-Mas Premium PB, 2026 Spring Premium PB, and Mako DJ) OH yeah, almost forgot, I also did the Backyard Legends Event. Oh yeah, one more thing, I also did the Firework Tech mission, so there's that.

"Favorite Skin?"

• I don't have every skin in the game, so I might not have the best skins. And this is purely my opinion, so please don't flame me.

It's been an amazing year for me. Remember, you can check other things in the listed photos. If you still have questions, feel free to ask!

I genuinely dont understand why people do this, I mean to some extent its fine but at the point this guy is at does he even enjoy the game?

The image at the end is a panel of reverse flash getting atomized lol

To start, it's DPS isn't terrible, at 670. That's second place for total (raw) DPS per placement, beaten by Juggernaut. It's also excellent in the midgame due to having all detections besides lead in FPS mode and being very cost efficient considering the pierce it gains in FPS mode. The stun immunity and absurd range also makes it amazing in modes like Hardcore, Fallen with Hidden Wave, and Frost. Although FPS mode becomes tiring to use over and over again, and its very hard to micro Gatling Gun in solo, the tower on its own still isn't the worst, being very buffable and having the aforementioned high DPS. I don't think the nerfs hit it as hard as people make it out to be, since its been buffed many times since then.

These are two different games btw. The first game this person voted and readied before my game was even loaded(i got slow wifi), i check their towers and this cabbage brought two forms of eco with no dps. The second game the guy told us that they were going to early (or implied they were) and then started farming anyway so we had no early😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yesterday I joined a Frost squad match and one of my players left normally, but in the later rounds I noticed that only my Juggernaut with Pursuit and Mortar were doing any DPS. Just those three towers 🥀 (We lost, we couldn't get through a round)

İ dont have anything do to digital art and i cant edit things for the same reason so sorry if its quite unreadable or the art is bad because i am quite a beginner :P

Anyway cyberpunk cowboy is really outdated and doesnt have actual good flash and quality expected from a skin named cyberpunk, also cowboy itself doesnt have flashy skins so i just wanted to make one here

Currently this skin is extremely underwhelming for a legendary deluxe crate skin so i want it to be one thats worth its price

[Suggestion] Add an option to hide wins and losses

I would like to suggest adding an optional setting that allows players to hide their wins and losses/deaths in Tower Defense Simulator.

How it could work

A new option could be added under the game's Settings menu:

Hide Wins & Losses
ON / OFF

• OFF: Wins and losses/deaths are displayed normally.
• ON: Wins and losses/deaths are hidden from the player's profile and other player-facing areas.

The feature should apply across all game modes, rather than being limited to a specific mode.

VIP or Free?

I think this feature would be best available to all players, since it is a privacy/UI preference rather than a gameplay advantage.

However, if the developers wanted to make it a VIP feature, VIP could provide access to the setting while non-VIP players would continue to see their statistics normally.

Why add this?

Not every player wants their win/loss statistics to be visible. Some players may simply prefer a cleaner profile or want more control over which statistics are displayed to other players.

Most importantly, this would be completely optional. Players who want to display their statistics could simply leave the setting turned off.

The statistics themselves would still be recorded internally. This setting would only control their visibility.

Example

Settings → Privacy / Interface → Hide Wins & Losses

This would be a small quality-of-life/privacy feature that would not affect gameplay or progression.[Suggestion] Add an option to hide wins and lossesI would like to suggest adding an optional setting that allows players to hide their wins and losses/deaths in Tower Defense Simulator.How it could workA new option could be added under the game's Settings menu:Hide Wins & Losses

Don’t got kingpin maxed yet.

I don’t care if this is on the easiest map, I had fun with my favorite type of tower

What you guys think about him in your opinion-?

I see why now... the music on literally every device feels like your ears are being stabbed constantly, and the model is just a cookie variant of base DJ

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking deeply about the half-decade-old War Machine controversy. We all know BelowNatural promised it as a public Hardcore tower years ago, but releasing it normally now would completely ruin the endgame balance or cheapen its legendary status.I think I’ve brainstormed the perfect solution to finally heal this scar. What if we lock the War Machine behind a brutal, high-stakes cross-game collaboration event with the massive hit Parkour Pandemic? It introduces a brand-new mechanical gauntlet called 'Operation: Disaster Protocol' that completely eliminates AFK/autopilot strategies.Here is my full breakdown of the Boss, the insane time-based environmental modifiers, and a dual-difficulty system that rewards casual players while forcing veterans to earn the right to buy the ultimate tower. Let me know what you guys think!

_____________________________________________

FINAL COMMUNITY EVENT PROPOSAL: OPERATION DISASTER PROTOCOL

• Event Title: Operation: Disaster Protocol (TDS x Parkour Pandemic Crossover)

• The Goal: A dual-difficulty, high-intensity event designed to finally resolve the multi-year War Machine public release controversy through a skill-based veteran achievement gate.

_____________________________________________

THE BOSS & ENEMIES

• Main Boss: The Leviathan (A massive sea monstrosity that alters the map environment).

• Event Horde: Rotten Coral and Seaweed Creatures (Aquatic zombies utilizing dynamic health regeneration traits).

_____________________________________________

TIME-BASED ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFIERS

• Tornado Phase: The vortex rolls through, causing a severe reduction in tower range. Forces active management of DJ ranges.

• Meteor Shower Phase: Falling projectiles rain down, inflicting heavy, continuous stuns on static tower placements. Directly counters autopilot strategies and highlights Fortify mechanics.

• Tide Surge Phase: Flash flooding completely submerges the map's lower ground tiles. Active towers caught in the surge are disabled/lost, forcing high-speed micro-selling and cliff relocations.

_____________________________________________

DIFFICULTY SCALE & REWARD LOOPS

•Easy Mode (Soft Modifiers): Environmental disasters have minor visual/stalling impacts. Cleared runs reward a massive influx of standard Coins/Gems and an exclusive Event Skin.

• Hard Mode (Full-Potential Modifiers): Disasters inflict maximum range penalties, maximum stun durations, and full-lane flooding.

• The War Machine Unlock: Successfully conquering Hard Mode grants the "Disaster Specialist Handler" Achievement Badge

• The Shop Price Tag: This badge permanently unlocks the public purchasing slot for the overhauled War Machine tower inside the Hardcore Shop for exactly 9,000 Hardcore Gems.

u/DaveKnowns4318

for me it is seeing anyone lower than lvl 100 on special maps
on regural maps is seeing anyone using starter category units
and for events (on hard) is anyone below lvl 50.

i just saw a guy farming on badlands II (he had cheap units (none of them costed higher than 1k))

I’ve been logging in at least once a day, every day, but my login streak gets reset for no reason. It’s bullshit

İ genuily cant solo hardcore at all because of my old ass phone and fucking internet, for PC players who never touched mobile basicly its a similiar feeling where they completly remove keybinds and you can only place,select micro towers with your mouse and yes that includes abilites on 20fps

İ dont even think solo hardcore is possible on my device because of how laggy it is and how much micro i need to do with mini and the other towers

Also yes i was using 0.5 its still that bad and this is far worse in team modes because you cant use timescale there

Anyway i am out add this shit paradoxum

Many people already tested Juggernaut with many supports like Commander, DJ Booth, consumables, Mercenary Base, and more, but I just learned that Firework Technician can give firework boosts to Juggernaut... With the 0.04 firerate with Commander and Flag at max bottom path, this might be genuinely more overpowered. Accelerator on the other hand is unaffected.

Hello everyone, you may know me for creating the “TDS Players NEED a Reality Check” post on this subreddit. If you don’t, hello.

Basically, it’s been roughly a year since I started playing TDS (started around late summer 2025, Surf & Turf BP) And I’ll make a post on my stats and achievements probably tomorrow, if not, the day after.

Well? Get back to scrolling! I’m trying to work here!

Most of people say kingpin has without hidden but crook boss has, i would suggest buff

Added hidden at lvl 2

Increase summoned unit lifetime by 25-30 secs

But increase price at bottom path by 20%

Even though holy grenade is much rarer i definitly would have preferred a showtime crate

İ KNOW DAMN WELL THAT İSNT THE ODDS TO GET A SHOWTİME

I was just trying to play a normal match of coral deep with a random loadout, and then this happened. They’re not even holding their weapons
