Trap Defense

[h1]Temple of death[/h1] Nice little TD/puzzle game. Even if it looks like only flashgame / mobilware it contains enough interesting elements in each of the 50 levels. You have to prevent the rockballs hitting the red fields. Your support are cannons, traps, mines and spikes.

A simple yet robust tower defence game that involves breaking boulders before they hit the red triggers. Originally I had no hope for this game, even more so when I first launched it. But I actually enjoyed using my thinking cap, nothing too tricky but it's not easy by any standard.

Trap Defense is a simplistic hybrid of the tower defense and block placement/pathing puzzle genres... heavy on the block placement. You're presented with a low poly/minimalist mobile app looking puzzle grid and you can see where various boulders etc will roll to their targets... the goal is to move turrets around, then hit "start" and hopefully if you did your job right, your turrets will shoot all the boulders before they hit the targets. Probably less involved than mobile apps like Angry Birds, but this is a paid, for-profit product on Steam. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience.

The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that la…

[h1][b]Basic Puzzle Game with a very serious setting bug[/b][/h1] [h3][b]What this game is:[/b][/h3] A basic puzzle game where you place items on a gridmap in order to destroy rolling balls that move towards your red zones. In that sense, it could also be considered a tower defence game, except it works more like an automated defence situation with a logical outcome. [h3][b]How does it work?[/b][/h3] You place various defence items (canons, traps or mines) in or around the path of the rolling balls in order to destroy all of them. If only one of these gets to your red zones, then you are defeated. There are 50 setups you need to solve in order to finish the game. Progressing through the game, situations will become more complex with more varied items available in order to defend your red zones. You set your defences up, and wait to see if your setup will destroy all of the balls. If not, try again. [h3][b]How does it perform?[/b][/h3] This is an easy game to play, you place your items with your mouse and then wait to see if you succeded in finding the solution to a given level. There is a bug however with the window resolution options that may prove very ennoying, and t…

A pleasant little puzzle game, good sound effects and music, and moderately challenging.
