Hi All, I have seen on my sisters iphone that they have tower defence games on there but ive looked and cant find any that are like the ones u would just find on any flash site. Anyone know of any being made or anyone who can make one?

I play Spira Defense, which is nice. Different from others I am used too.

I just read in another thread when paid apps launch there is a traditional maze style one coming out. Not sure if they will charge for the app or the extras they have planned. Chickenbrickstudios.com - I asked the poster if they made the game. No reply yet.

Hey guys, just found the topic, I'm the developer behind Plox: Tower Defense (by ChickenBrick)... It's planned to come out this week (with the launch of paid apps) for $1.99...

We're obviously very excited about it, but I don't wanna sit here and spam you guys with why I think its great =P

Just stopping in to let you know that a good TowerD _will_ be available, very soon =P

Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'd be more than willing to answer them =P

Is the game multiplayer? Plans for that?

Any online components?

Any try before you buy options?

Currently no, in the future possibly, but we haven't come up with a reliable model for real-time gaming on mobile devices (due to the latency involved in cellular data communications).

Yep, currently offers a "Game of the Week" feature, which allows for us to add maps/level-sets on a weekly basis (ships with 1 new map, and 1 new level set).

Also allows for submitting of scores (when you lose/win).

Currently no, but in the next week or two, we will be working on a (and I hate saying it) "Stripped down" version of the game as a demo, which will offer the first level (Easy). So that people have an idea of the gameplay before they purchase.

Instead of even thinking "stripped down", maybe it would be better if you offered a tutorial level, the kind that pauses and explains how to play for those TD neophytes and then the full "easy" level 1. Might be easier for you and be more true to the purchase for the users.

Sounds pretty awesome all around.

I enjoy the multiplayer real time game Dojo Cubed on my G1, they offer it as a J2ME app on many phones globally not just the G1. They even offer a web vers. which you can play against mobile users. Not sure of their back end, but worth researching.

Good luck with the release.

I'll definitely check that out, we'll be working on the demo in the coming weeks, and I'll be sure to report back what we have =P. We have a small tutorial built in on the current version, but it could definitely be expanded for the demo.

i checked today and have just found Retro Defence lite and the paid version should be out soon and it is exactly what i was looking for.
