Bubble Tanks Tower Defense

Well that is going to be the rest of the week wasted playing this....

The few levels I've played so far show that some of the same strategy doesn't work on all levels so it is going to take some thought to get through the lot. And that is good :-)

Oooh, this is nice. Very smooth. This is a great example of what tower defense should be. I especially like the tree of levels, and the hints of basic strategy for tower placement with the tutorial levels.

Anyone try the FML option yet? It's hilarious(ly evil). I'm slightly disappointed the megacheat still lets you save high scores.

I also feel like I might have been more motivated to play through the level tree if the ones I couldn't get to were more hidden. I like unlocking things, and revealing the whole tree took that away.

I love the infinite bubble cheat, which allows you to make MASSIVE blocks. It's amazing at how epically you destroy EVERYTHING.

I usually read the reviews and comments before playing. But the words "Bubble tank" and "tower defense" were all I needed this time.

This game is GREAT! I really like to merge towers into mega towers, then merge mega towers into mega mega towers. I can only do it in megacheatmode turned on, though. Something I found out,

If you did it right, it ends up with over 200,000 damage! [edit: Spoiler tags added - Walzar]

And here I was just working through my "Bloons 4 TD" addiction...

... it just isn't fair!!

On the bright side this will give me something to do during the blizzard they're calling for tomorrow. Yay! \o/

It took 3 or 4 times of looking at the blog image to realize it looked like the JiG guy.

Hehehe. I made a tower with over thirty million damage. And a reload time of one. I quit after wave 1003 because I got bored, and my score had overflowed the box.

There's a bug that can be exploited with respect to the boosts :

I like the levels tree, and the way the boost/other effects are useful.

I don't like that:
There's no info on enemy health or on tower effects (especially on megatowers, where the effects are there but can't be determined).

They expect juggling to be nearly necessary, going so far as to suggest it as an 'expert technique'.

Except for incorporating boost effects, megatowers aren't very cost-effective. You only really get to use them on the infinite levels.

Compared to DTD:
Base towers are useful; building a long maze is a good idea.
No one tower type dominates, although

are the best.
Area effect towers are actually useful.
Anti-air/ghost towers are comparatively weak.

I got 23 billion points on level 26 before I got very bored and just deleted all my multimillion-damage mega-mega towers and let the hoards of tanks through.
I somewhere around wave 5000. (You can click on a wave up to 4 waves away to send all 4 with one click. And I was clicking as fast as i could...)

The level

is however useful for figuring out how mega towers work.

Very entertaining. I'll be playing this one for a while, and I was even tired of the tower defense games. Difficulty seems to ramp up pretty quickly, I'm curious what different strategies I'll have to come up with.

fun but gets boring like desktop td

I'm having a heck of a time getting past ID 11, the Splitter Only level. Even with juggling, if you miss one group you're pretty much history. Anyone have any tips?

I got a perfect victory on ID11 without juggling or any special techniques.

For the splitter level, I got a perfect with the following strategy:

my first time playing and ive got 4 mega mega towers 3 mega towers 11 fully upgraded damage boost and 1 sniper tower, my best mega mega tower has 619685 damage 6300 range and 1 reload, im on wave 1063 i have 73816683 score.

This is a good game 5*, i think ill spend many hours playing i didnt look but hopefully theres a harder endless level.

My Mega-Mega Tower:

All above information is real*

Bug:
I "paused" after opening the second level and it is not going away from the pause screen.

My Awesome Mega-Mega Tower

Damage: 2,657,487 (With a 6,561x damage mult.)
Range: 808
Reload: 10

And another

Damage: x9
Range: x0
Reload: 10

I must be doing something seriously wrong, or perhaps I'm just too picky.

I STRONGLY dislike games that are "impossible" to play. Listing a cheater's style as "advanced player method" is a crock.

After playing only the first two intro screens I tried my hand at the unlimited game just to get the hang of it. I really like TD games and it's a thing with me that none of my patterns leak ANYthing.

I can't get past the sixth or eight wave even. Yes, I'm trying to set up a system that will create some of the mega towers later rather than just making a maze and upgrading as I go but still... I should be able to do SOMEthing with this mess.

Bleah on this irritating game.

AaronzDad, try building something maze-like with the mega-construction behind it. That's how I did it the first time.

i want a sandbox version of free play so please make one ....

If you have not played desktop tower defense than you will have troubles with this game. Upgrades take too long, so you must delay the onslaught. https://jayisgames.com/tag/handdrawngames

Found a bug: Twice I've finished a level, but the game didn't give me the victory screen. I had to click exit to go back to the level select, and the level was not marked as complete. I suspect it was connected to the fact that I was in building mode while the last enemy was defeated (after pressing T).

Nope. I tried some different ways of playing and making different mazes. I never seem to have enough power to upgrade towers enough to keep from leaking.

I give up. Either I don't get it or this game sux.

For all your boasts of multi million damage towers, you are forgetting the biggest potential of all: Burst.

It's quite possible to make a mega mega burst tower with over 50k damage and over 700 range. This basically means you are immune to ground. All you need to compliment that is a few multi million damage ghost splash towers with speed 1 and you are sorted. Why waste shots on ground when you can guarantee nothing on the ground will last.

Also, try combining bursts with a ghost turret. Note that bursts will never get below rate 10. Note that rate boosts do NOT work in mega megas, so keep them in just normal megas or normals. it doesnt take much to get the speed of megas up though, they are fast to start off with.

My favorite level is Level 40, Named "Cut Through". It is tier 8, third from the top.

Follow this strategy, and it is a lot more fun, but still just hard enough to drive you insane. Good luck!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that you only get

My high score on it is 660.

OK. So finally after leaking a few in the beginning rounds I built up some decent towers to stop anything from making it through.

Then I started designing and building some mega towers, then the mega-mega towers. All the while I didn't pay a lick of attention to any enemies coming through because I didn't need to worry about 'em.

So. After building four mega-mega towers I started clicking on the advance enemies buttons at the bottom. I clicked as fast as I could and made it to wave 2700-something before the ghosts finally did me in.

SO WHAT?!?!?!

That's it?? You get a few levels of impossible at the beginning then hundreds, no THOUSANDS of levels of invincible after that?? What kind of game is this?

Yes, I understand they have all those different screens for you to play on and every one is a new game. But isn't building then maintaining a long-lasting defensive screen the whole point of TD games?

Dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks I know. Definitely not my cup of tea.

What is the megacheat? How do you get it?

@Aaronzdad, there are more than a few maps to the game. Have you beat every single one? I know that some are much harder; the unlimited right to left was labeled as medium, while the maps go past hard...

Pretty graphics. Nice sounds. Tight action. Nice job.

However

Would it be so hard to take a minute to draw a few more megatower graphics so, say, the Burst megatowers look different from the Boost megatowers?

Also, the tower target-selection logic is stupid. Towers fire on the creep closest to the exit - NOT on the creep closest to the end of your maze-path. Very frustrating.

Hey, I like it so much but there is one thing WHEN is Bubble Tanks Arena COMING OUT! That looks so kool right right?!

@crungehulfer:

The towers fire on whichever enemy was spawned first in their range. Yes, this does make it annoying when you send a ton of waves and the ghosts passing over your towers are not being fired on...

great game

my mega mega tower

Damage 736326
Range 787 (whole screen)
Reload 1

way better than 1337skills one

Challenge:

How many levels can you get a "Perfect Win" on WITHOUT juggling? You are allowed to buy and sell towers, but not so as to make the creeps reverse direction.

Obviously infinite-wave-levels don't count.

Almost all are possible to do this on.

I got a "Perfect Win" except for:
"Cut Through" (#40) - didn't even try.
"The Funnel 2" (#43) - I always lose 1 life on the first spawner boss - just not enough firepower to kill him in that short maze.

Quite difficult to get a perfect no-juggle win:

"Movin' on Up" (#44)
"Spread Out" (#45)

Those last two you have to have quite a good maze and do the right thing at the right time.

Maximum power for minimum price:

After 30 min of testing, i hav found the best combination for mega-mega tower.
my mega-mega tower stats:

attack: 10,287,513
range: 787
reload: 1

current wave: 7821

It got boring after level 9100. I'm looking forward to a version 2 that is hopefully better balanced.

my one and only coment on the game otherwise its amazing is that the upgraded towers like mega and mega-mega they actualy target and the bullets fly over and past enemies that u need killed then and now and they get through
if that wasnt the case then you could have one mega or mega-mega and nothing would get through until wave 320 or if your tower is pumped then wave 400 or 430

strongest mega mega tower

Damage: 2044224

Range: 247

Reload: 1

No joke. I have 4 mega mega towers comprised of mostly power boost mega towers and this is the second time I've gotten the same damage tower. I'm guessing it's the max or very close. The range could easily be upped by adding a range boost tower, but it's the one closet to the entrance so I don't see the need. I'm on the top level of the first three. It's the unlimited waves one. I'm on wave 5036 currently and just now starting to slow down. I've left my Mac running all night and all day to do this though.

my best mega mega tower was 15 672 006=) but dont think, that some1 need so much=) i made it just for fun=)

here is the screenshot:

Amazing Mega Tower: two snipers mixed with two machine guns. A single one of these can get you through most waves and cover the entire map when placed in the center.

I think I may have developed the most powerful setup for the unlimited waves option. If you want to try out the game first, you might not want to see this link.

Well apparently I didn't need the a href code in the last post, so here's the power setup again for the unlimited waves/unlimited bubbles level. Good luck beating this strat lol :)

Ive got four mega mega towers:

first:
Damage: 8485557
Range: 878
Reload: 1

second:
Damage: 7669368
Range: 878
Reload: 1

third and fourth:
Damage: x9
Range: x0
Reload: 10

the reload of the first two appear to be faster than other towers with a reload of 1 that I have made.

The thing I hate is you could build towers with the same combination but depending on where you place the base towers and the order in which you combine them you get different stats. If you build a mega mega tower it shouldn't matter where you place the orginal base tower and what combination you combine them in when they have all the same base towers.

To all noobs!
Most Damage I get from one Mega-Mega tower: 17945880
Proof:

Mega tower can do as much as 7000 DMG.

I really want to know the rules of merging and upgrading the towers ;-D

best of 2009! Anyway,great game.

Going out of my mind trying to figure out how to beat Spread Out and Movin On Up without juggling... no matter what I try, it just doesn't work.

All hail n00bs!
Behold my towery buildery skillz!

21mil area burst damage
19.8mil ghost splash damage

Should stop pretty much everything, but I got bored after ten thousand waves...

What is the combination of towers you guys are using to get such insane mega-mega towers?
iv gotten mega towers with basic splash and machine gun and snipers with only 95 power, what it the deal on losing power with merges?

I think this is the most powerful mega-mega tower you can possibly build
53.567.646 Damage

I think its really more fun figuring out yourself how the merging works. Just start small with various configurations of mega towers, and one moment you will get the concept, and then everything follows right out of it.

I cant get a perfekt win on level 40, only one missing :(

The boss ghost gets me every time, been trying for week now, any hints??? I think it takes forever to get enough bubbles to build sniper towers, and when I also need ghost tower is it close to impossible...

Best tower game ever....

I've just opened up the game again after a while of not playing, and i can't get the mega cheat button to get all de-selected? Is there something to this, or am i just being a n00b?

I'm sorry. Now that i re-read that, that was a bit unclear. my bad. I mean to say i can't get the mega cheat button to turn on; I can't click on it. Is that any better?

I love this game quite a bit, but I find that the later levels simply too hard and too frustrating. I am especially a problem that "juggling" is not only encouraged, but required for those levels.

So yes, it's a fun game, but once you get midway through it's an incredibly frustrating experience.
