neoDefense - Tower Defense +9

good replacement for geodefense, but i agree that it would be more fun to pause and build/start upgrades for strategy. I beat all levels of beta except bonus, but gamma level 1 is unwinable by any means. I think it's a really bad idea to have everything move so fast. it's like entire waves can come through in under 2-3 seconds. it's less strategy at this point and just how fast can i repeatedly drop and upgrade towers, which makes it less fun then geodefense was. I also would like to see my high score compared to others, as well as see if i completed the level flawlessly, or with leaks. BUT its still awesome and i would pay $5-$8 for each level pack instead of $1 easily.

update: nevermind, I beat every level, including gamma and bonus. keep difficulty high, but maybe add an easy setting. The only way to beat any of these higher levels is to stumble upon the fact that any tower built in the exit wavy circle gets double damage. very unclear on that.

I loved geodefense, and neoDefense is also lovely. I do wish there were different game modes like on the old app. Sandbox, where the difficulty is the same as regular, but you start with a large amount of money so you can strategize and figure each level out. That would be most welcome. Also Endless, where the mobs start out super weak and gradually increase to extreme difficulty so you can build up insane weaponry. A high score table for this would be awesome. Update: It’s been almost a year without any new levels, which is disappointing. Would really love an endless mode still. It would also make sense to put weapons on every level once you buy the expansion packs.

I also wish new levels were introduced more frequently. Again, an endless campaign would be better to hold us over while waiting for more expansions.

Clearly taking much from geoDefence, neoDefence has several variations that improve on the original. The obvious difference is that the booster is effectively a fourth element as it only works with cannons and the cannons, the cannons must be adjacent the booster, and the cannon no longer shoots normally and cannot fire without power from the booster. This makes boost charge management vital and adds depth to the harder levels. Additionally the price of the weapons vary between level groups so the relationship between weapons and between upgrade levels for weapons changes as you progress.
