Overview
Topdown Shooter has a fixed path for the enemy to follow. Since you no longer have control over the path of the enemy, the focus of the game shifts from mazing to tower selection and upgrading. The length of the path that the creeps take is shorter than a maze that you could make on most other maps so you need more concentrated firepower. It's important to plan ahead, and plan for upgrades. Long range towers like the missile towers can be build far away from the roads, while towers such as the lightning tower probably have to be built next to the road.

LOL…. Sorry for telling you that bug here Mike… I thought I mentioned it to you or Marty already, but things have been rather hectic recently…
i have tried to upload my latest score and got notification " unable to connect" / cmiiw. but when i checked leader board, my score already uploaded several times with same value.
i think it’s bug.
I’ll take that as a bug report. I’ll make sure to include it in the next version. If you find anything else like that, especially messing with scoring let me know.
Speed records don’t really matter, as it can be manipulated. Just save the game right before you kill the last wave. When you restart and kill it, you’ll finish the map in like 1 second.
Score is really all that matters…
also im 2nd in speed record after "lyuen"
i’m ranked 19th here
*love this map*
I finally figured out how you handle the "road" maps and have taken back my spot at the top… Thanks for pushing me to elevate my game Mark! I look forward to some more competition!
Wow Mark… I must say your score on this is quite insane… I can’t even get close, and I’m completely maximizing the speed at which I rush things out. I end the map fully covered in level 5 Gun towers with just enough firepower to kill every wave, and I still can’t imagine getting a score that high.
Got any tips for this map?
Now I just gotta figure out how you guys are getting 340k in points on this one!!!!
I’m rushing 6-9 at a time depending upon what wave I am at. Towards the end, I only do a couple at a time. All depends on the map. I’m only using 2x speed. It speeds the clock as well so that has nothing to do with it. Believe me, with the right tower setup, you can take out 7-9 waves at a time. Sure looks like several people figured it out, that’s for sure!
i think the 6x speed also speeds up the clock…so it makes no difference, as long as you keep forcing the waves out you’ll be able to finish quicker.

How are you going so fast? I’m using 6x speed and killing everything at the entrance point to rush waves… I can’t get anywhere close to your speed…
How the heck are you finishing it so fast? I’m using constant 6x speed and rushing through waves and I’m nowhere close to your speed… What are you doing to go so fast?
Well, I am setting speed records, thats for sure.
