    Of course the biggest secret is to upgrade a few units all the way.

    The mutant 4 works best for me, but I can only get to level 70 something.

    Wow, that's pretty impressive. I saw this on digg the other night and played for a couple hours. VERY addictive. I beat the easy/normal levels with something similar to #2, but couldn't get past level 50 on the challenge. I'd be interested to see a video of someone beating it.

    Thanks for linking to one of my videos! I did two follow -ups that use superior layouts (IMO)

    Addictive. I've spent at least 3 hours playing this game. Making a maze is key.

    Been playing for the past 30 hours... This game starts to get ridiculous at lvl 75 in challenge mode. The creeps simply have too much health to kill, and I've decided it is impossible to beat the challenge mode... Farthest I've gotten thus far is 80 with a bit of juggling towards the end...

    Some of the better strats involve having a false way to go and you get one set of creeps to go all the way down on path, then cut the path off and force them back the way they came.

    @Blessman: that's called juggling. Some people are very good at it, others frown upon it and only want to complete the levels completely without juggling. Personally, I see the power of the trick, but I don't like it.

    Here's one I just made for Desktop 1.5.

    As of this posting it'll get you on the daily high score leaderboards. This one has juggling.

    To beat the 100 (without 10,000 gold start) you really need a three path maze to juggle enemies through. Secret is the upgrade order of your anti-air, which should get the most priority since you can bounce the ground guys back and forth all day. Final hint: you will need to employ snap towers starting from level 77 or 85 on to beat all the flyers and about four snap towers on level 98 to kill off enough of the flyers to survive.

    Best way to go is to max out a few squirt towers near the middle.

    I didn't get it...is this recommendation for only one game or you could use it a rule of thumb..

    Cheers
