Seriously, defend it!

This has occupied much of my evening at work tonight. Try your hand at it, and we will compare strategy.

I did fairly well. Made it to the bonus levels.

I stuck with primarily elemental attacks, often saving up for the multi-elemental cannons-- eventually, my lack of upgrading (laziness) kicked me in the butt, because all the guys in the bonus round had crazy-good HP.
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

That's because the leaderboard is only for the last 12 hours.

People must leave it sitting. I can't see someone sitting there for 10 or more hours playing.

There are only 35 waves. It's impossible to spend 10 hours on this game, unless you keep starting over.

How did you guys get your scores up? I keep dying on level 32 and I only have around 1700 points.

After each wave, you get interest on the money you have unspent. The slower you spend your money, the more cash you have in the bank, accumulating interest. Your score is your cash, plus the value of all the towers you own.

Yes, for example, I learned how to beat the first four levels with one tower. This means that at level 5 I have more cash than the average joe. Also, getting the intrest upgrades earlier, rather than later, improves your score greatly,

Poseptune

Ok I change strategy, saved money and used less towers. Level 32, 2290 points. OH YEAH! That's how much I suck at it. :)


Edit: Level 33, 3257 points. Still sucking
