Desktop Tower Defense: My 2nd Best Score on Medium Difficulty
This is me achieving my second highest score on Medium/Normal level on Desktop Tower Defense. When Dag first made me aware of this game I was addicted for a long time trying to perfect any kind of a solid attack. The only way to achieve high scores, especially on Hard difficulty, is demoed in this video: lots of juggling and very rapidly sending in lots of levels at a time. (I screwed up a little this go-round as a huge pink sperm almost escapes my maze near the end of the video.)
I had all the high scores on the VideoSift group scoreboard and no one else was really playing, so I lost interest.
Then... I noticed one day King Zifnab came along and was systematically knocking down all my high scores (which now I am embarrassed to call "high"). This pushed me to develop a new attack algorithm which I think I've nearly perfected. At the very least I've knocked Prince Zifnab back down below my high scores where he belongs.
Sharing this video was mainly for fun but also to spur you--yes YOU--to get in that game and give it a shot. YOU can DO it.

ZifnabNicely done Lucky, now I've gotta give it another go. I have generally done little or no juggling with my mazes, I might have to go back to the drawing board now...
lucky760Really? That's pretty impressive. If you wouldn't mind it, I'd love to see a video of how you complete it.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I've never seen the juggling technique used like that. I use the diagonal line technique that I saw in some other video - though probably well under your guys scores.
berticusi too was addicted to dtd.. only i found mpdtd more fun on casualcollective.. although everything's changed there now. i used to have a top50 score! spawns holepunch arcade mode was the best!

Well I'll have to brush up on my dtd a bit first, then figure out how to take a video of it
lucky760Brush up? But you just kicked my butt a few days ago.
This was my first time doing any screen recording and I found an excellent freeware app called CamStudio. It's extremely simple to use. (FYI, after some experimenting, I found the best video options use 250 milliseconds and 20 frames/sec.)
I'll be looking forward to your video.
