Tower Defense is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Tower Defense has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. From the tags you can already tell that fast reactions and constant movement are the point; there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase.

Tips and tricks

  • Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
  • Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
  • Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Because this is a Tower Defense game, build at corners where the path doubles back so towers get two passes at every enemy.
  • Because this is a Action game, keep moving.

Who will enjoy it
