is the secret in the lazers? OH I'll BET ITS IN THE FINANCIAL CENTER!!!! 6/19/2008 5:22:36 PM |

nah - it's that you don't need lasers and actually save money by not ever building them... 6/19/2008 5:27:21 PM |

i like the grenade towers. I use those first with a couple of small guns to get the stragglers, and build from there. I don't know what you could do without lasers for the last few levels. 6/19/2008 6:04:33 PM |

there is no way you need all of those "lasers" 6/19/2008 8:25:19 PM |

no but it was cool... actually i did for a while because i didn't have enough money to upgrade them. there were a couple levels where guys were almost passing by. That was my first attempt on hard. At least I survived IMO 6/19/2008 9:47:13 PM |

once you beat it on hard... it gets boring.
..... for those just starting... the key is the lazers.
Bombs, 1 gun, then you sell them and buy missles.... 2 of them is enough...upgrade them too max.... buy laser..... sale missles...update laser... buy another laser..update laser
2 lasers at max is enough.. max may not even be neccessary. 6/20/2008 8:43:53 AM |

was there honestly that much of a difference between the easy and hard levels, other than the length/sinuosity of the path? 6/20/2008 4:59:56 PM |
shmorri2 All American 10003 Posts user info edit post |
I thought the only difference was the amount of cash you first start off with and the path they follow is also shorter... 6/20/2008 5:05:53 PM |

I can beat it on hard every time with 20 lives. But how do you get more points after that? Leftover money? 6/25/2008 3:57:56 PM |
Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
I was wondering about that.
Usually I end up with 2 maxed out lasers and everything else that i make ends up upgrading my finance center. 6/25/2008 3:59:22 PM |
neodata686 All American 11577 Posts user info edit post |
^same here. 2 maxed out lasers will do the trick. But i can't get above 36-38k. 6/25/2008 4:04:33 PM |
Smath74 All American 93278 Posts user info edit post |
yeah which is better to have? money or towers? 6/25/2008 4:11:01 PM |
neodata686 All American 11577 Posts user info edit post |
game says:
Quote : | " Final score (cash+assets+(lives*1000)) " |
So you get 20,000 for the lives plus cash and assets. How does that work out though? I guess the less you sell the higher end score? because you don't lose money.

To make the extra money? For points? 6/25/2008 4:15:09 PM |
Airbag Suspended 12921 Posts user info edit post |
for money...
all you need is 8 missles at max
and the things that slow down the things.

i don't even build the "blue" crap (shock tower/etc)
nor any guns after the first couple of levels.
It's all about the missles and grenades 6/25/2008 5:47:43 PM |

Shock tower is a waste of money The other elecric tower that slows them down is beneficial... especially with the ~32k pumpkin 6/26/2008 8:26:41 AM |
Smath74 All American 93278 Posts user info edit post |
i keep beating it at hard with all 20 lives but i can't break 40k. I don't know what the problem is. I start with grenades and one gun, and slowly add more grenades until i can afford missiles, then once i can afford lasers, i get 2 or 3 of them and upgrade, and then i'm good for the rest of the game... you would think that if property AND cash count towards your score, it wouldn't matter what you bought. 6/26/2008 8:43:10 AM |
neodata686 All American 11577 Posts user info edit post |
I guess it's all about the finance center. The earlier you upgrade it the more overall money you're going to have. 6/26/2008 8:46:54 AM |
Smath74 All American 93278 Posts user info edit post |
is it worth it to upgrade the finance center? it doesn't seem to generate that much additional money for me. 6/26/2008 12:59:02 PM |
NC86 All American 9134 Posts user info edit post |
ok i figured it out.
just get two of the centers.. the missle one and the finance one. dont get the others cause its a waste of money.
dont dispose of anything you buy initially. The thing is to update the finance center as soon as you can, while still being able to beat the enemy.
the missles max out at level 4 of the center so its unnecessary to update it after.

jeez how did someone get 93200 points. 6/26/2008 2:20:39 PM |
Norrin Radd All American 1356 Posts user info edit post |
^^^ this man's got it
the centers do not count towards your "cash+assets" amount so buying or upgrading them un-necessarily is a waste of money.
Also towers are counted at a depreciated value(the amount they sell for) so building/upgrading as few as possible will get you the best score. Not selling them doesn't really do anything to help you.....I sell the little ones as soon as possible for the increase in interest return.
I believe it can be beaten with 11 missles fully upgrades but I have not gone back to try. When I got my 46K I had 10 fully upraded missles one at level 4 and one at level 3
