Space Tower Defense

In Brief

Space Tower Defense is a basic tower defense gam with five levels

The Game

Space Tower Defense opens with a configuration screen. Unlike most Falcoware games, today's offering does not have the usual Falcoware installer, so when starting the game, once you've configured your preferences you are greeted with the main menu. Click on Level Select then the level you wish to play. You can select any of the available levels, which appear to number 5 only. Each level includes an indicator telling you what you scored with respect to 1, 2 or 3 stars. Once you've selected a level click on the pause button to start the game. You can only see part of each level. To look at other parts you need to use the WASD or the arrow keys to look at hidden area's. You get 10 lives and there are 10 waves to each level. There are several tower defenses to choose from, but these are not all available until the last level.

Space Tower Defense is a basic TD game made with the Unity engine. It includes all of the usual elements you'd expect to find with a casual tower defense game. It plays okay, but the lack of only five levels is a turn off for me. The last level is quite challenging, but overall if you were to purchase this at its asking price over on Itch.io, I'd say you were robbed. For free, it's okay as a coffee break filler. :)

You'll find some reasonable and some free TD games over on Steam HERE

Don't forget to check the giveaway game discussion forums HERE; especially Delenn's threads for non Steam and steam freebies. Apart from the latest Epic Game freebies (i.e. Enter the Gungeon, God's Trigger and the third episode 3 out of 10, EP 3: "Pivot Like A Champion" and from the 27th we get the 2016 release of Hitman {brilliant game} and the Shadowrun collection that includes three games - Shadowrun Returns (Base Game), Shadowrun Dragonfall - Director Cut (Base Game) and Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition (Base Game)). There's also a free standing version of Whispering Willows directly from the developers site (Interact with the spirits of the dead, solve the puzzles of the mysterious mansion and help Elena find her missing father in the horror/adventure puzzle game: Whispering Willows.) and over on GOG you can get for a limited time the original Serious Sam: First Encounter HERE, (a high-adrenaline single-play and 16-player co-operative arcade-action FPS and Gamespot's Game of the Year 2001!) this is the original version and not the reskinned version; which in my opinion is actually much better than the newer HD version because you can still do rocket jump, and other stunts that are not possible in the newer version. The graphics are a little dated, but this does not take away from the game play. You can still find online cooperative games as well. The GOG version is free standing. Indie Gala are offering an excellent post apocalyptic car racing /shooting game called Death Track: Resurrection which was one of the first games I purchased on Steam back in 2009. The Indie Gala version is free standing.
