Desktop Tower Defence by Coxy224

Archive: 18 posts


Desktop Tower DefenceCoxy224
Defend your tower by firing pellets at on-coming enemies. Spin your tower by moving either left or right, and fire using 'R'. The game ends when 3 enemies make it through.
Hey again everyone! I've been working on this for a while now, and I really just wanted to do something new for me. So without further ado - Desktop Tower Defence.

It's basically what it sounds like, a tower defence level. For those who don't know, in a tower defence level you stop on-coming enemies for as long as you can by firing bullets at them. And in this one you control a single tower and fire pellets from that.

The trick to this is to spin the tower towards the enemy, and then stop the turret by moving back into the middle (so if you had gone left, shift slightly right). This is what I do anyway, I'd love to see other tactics to survive the longest.

And of course F4F for everyone as usual!!! :star:

And big thanks to the mighty SketchNZ for the awesome sackboy that's by the scoreboard.

Hey Coxy! I just tried your level and I msut say it was fun! The difficulty ramped up at the right pace and the controls were responsive! But there were a couple issues... During the game a player could easily spin around and around firing randomly making it quite easy to top the scoreboard (I avoided doing this... most of the time. ) I suggest lowering the amount items the player is able to emit at once. The other issue I ran into was being able to escape the level. After I died I managed to fall onto Buzz's (I think) shoulder quite easily. I took this oppurtunity to check out some of your logic.

Final Scores:
Fun Factor: 8 (Very Enjoyable!)
Originality: 10 (Never seen anything on LBP like it!)
Design: 6 (Colourful, but could use a bit more sticker work...)
Overall: 8 (Which equals Four stars! Congrats!)

Thanks Fastbro, fast and awesome feedback as usual, and the five stars is an awesome bonus!

Yeah I knew of the problem that you can fall either side of the things around the scoreboard, but the logic and everything is so tight that putting invisible barriers around it would mess up the enemies, and this level is so close to exploding on itself I didn't want to risk it. I left it in because you can't get any bonus points, and by killing yourself you can easily go back to the scoreboard.

Also with the spinning thing, I'm pretty sure you can't get to the top of the scoreboard because of how you accumalate points. Also, if you miss some of the faster ones on your first spin, they will get through to you

Thanks a load for playing, and make sure you gimme a VM or PM when your next level is out - I don't wanna miss that

GOD-LIKE survival mini-game (In your face MM and Cambridge Studios).
You have my :star::star::star::star::star: and my <3 either for you and your level.

It's 100% perfect mini-game, 500% more fun than those crapy mini-games we have in the story mode, fully innovating and creative but at the same it's quite easy to understand since to move the gun you used a left and right control and used the "R" to fire.

P.S.: I don't know if the word "crapy" is forbidden here if it is plz PM me (I don't want to get banned for just a word).

Hey Coxy!!

Another completely different level from you, and I liked it. This was really cool. It felt more like tabletop asteroids when I was playing. I liked the refined visuals. It controlled perfectly. The problem I had was it was too easy, I played for around ten minuets and got 600 pts and the high score. It never got too challenging though, and I ended up just letting the three objects pass to make it to the scoreboard.

Fastbro made some good suggestions, and I would maybe try to amp up the difficulty a little more.

If you republish I will gladly play it again, but for now I gave you five stars.

Hey Coxy, this is possibly the best minigame out there, and I'm serious. This level is very innovative, and we will probably see people copying this. There aren't any problems with the level that haven't been mentioned yet. As for Fastbro's cheating method, it only works half the time. If I were you I'd only decorate more and add a slight bit more of difficulty and this level will be famous in no time.2010-08-22 19:43:00

Ahh I knew I had to thank someone! Thanks for noticing, it's a quality sackboy.

*goes to edit the OP*


@B3 - I don't get why it's a problem that I use these stickers in my levels? I just have them in places to use as stickers. What would be the point in having them and then just letting them rot in my poppit?

And for everyone who found this too easy, I am now working on a much harder version. It'll be the same layout etc. but with more enemies coming at you faster

Hey Coxy
I just wanted to start this feedback by saying, you are one of the most hard working, yet underappreciated creators on PSP. You've constantly put out levels quickly, and they are of exceptional quality with unique ideas. So I go to your moon to download this latest, and I notice quite a bit of your best levels are rated 3 stars(?) Whats up with that? You're appreciated on this forum obviously, so it must be some young kids with no taste for brilliant ideas. Anyhoo, just wanted to throw that out there. As for this level, it was a blast-literally! I thought you executed it very well, and the effect that you are on a desktop was genious. Kind makes me think this is what to expect from LBP2 with the whole overhead view thing. I just think the diffuculty could have ramped up quicker, and thats it. Awesome job mate!

P.S. If you could feedback on my new race comp level - NASCOW, that would be swell. Cheers

Cool, Ill wait to try that out before I post fedback. The one thing I would suggest is a clearer way to score. I could not figure out what would get me points. At first I thought it was dhooting things but later found out that just walking back and forth gets you bubbles.

Hey coxy nice level. A bit on the easy side (High score in first play ) but the thing I want to ask is that why do I fall out of my turret when not a single enemy reached me? Just wondering... but other than that this leve is VERY addictive. I play this level everywhere I go 2010-08-28 21:07:00

Great level Coxy! Great to see new and original ideas on LBP. I'm looking forward to the harder version.
Could I make a suggestion - It would be great if the level increases with difficulty with time, that means, people get knocked out and the real talent appears on the scoreboard, not just the people who have a lot of patience. That was a great level!
I was surprised when I found it was only 3 stars on the moon, (It may have changed by now), But I rated it 4.5/5
which is 5 stars.
