How does one go about getting Teleports? I'm at level 6 and haven't seen any yet...
On top of the last reply of unlocking that option where you spend your reward points...
...You need to build a Slow Tower, and then for $20 more, you can upgrade it to an unarmed teleport. It costs $3 each time you arm it. Play around with it - quite beneficial to keep your bonus points up!
Are you telling me you have completed 100 waves 610 times? lol
I have completed 2 levels so far and that took quite a long time. I can't imagine 610! Do you work?? lol
Can anyone tell me what the paid version gives you over the free version?
Edit: Also, how do you get bonus points?
Haven't been playing as much, but I'm up to level 810 on the basic map. To answer the above question, no, I didn't play 610 times. You unlock 10 levels each time you defeat the maximum, so let's say I played 61 times. Even on fast forward most of the time, the higher levels take at least an hour a game.
As to the Titan, my experience is that it only appears on wave 79 or 80 if you've still got perfect health.
When I finished level 810 I only had 9 or so lives left. I'm currently starting with 57.
The upgrades are getting way too expensive. One hundred thirty million just to upgrade rocket strength. You've got to play 8 games just to get one upgrade. Looks like I've reached the point where you can't always go ten levels higher every time.
It is a great way to kill an hour and a half while my kids are practicing soccer.
Absolutely love this game, best app for the droid so far by a long shot. Only on level 6 so far, still working out my strategies; but to answer the question that's been floating around the thread, I found this on the Lupis Labs website:
"What does the full version add?
These are the enhancements for the first release:
- 2 new maps - Unlimited reward upgrades
- Unlimited difficulty levels
- The ability to get achievements like "Score 1,000,000 points in one game". These achievements are not technically locked in the free version, but the difficulty level cap makes them inaccessible."
What are the exact differences between Light, Medium and Heavy rockets? I mean yeah, one is stronger than the other, but I'd like to know if it's better to build five rocket turrets for $100 or upgrade one to a Heavy rocket for the same price.
i found the Titan on level 38 of the training mode C. I do believe I had perfect health still. All of a sudden this tall looking dude walks out and i figure he must be the Titan. Pretty easy to defeat.
is it better to upgrade towers or add more towers? You guys ever use flame throwers and artillery?
More is best, but you get to a point where you have to start upgrading to defeat the enemies. I played around with flame throwers and artillery, but found rockets best because they work against all of the enemies. In the higher levels you also have to use anti-aircraft missles.
Just finished basic 840 today. Managed to get 599 million extra bonus points for leftover money. I think it was around $3300 I ended the game with. This was my ending map;
e = Empty (this is the path that the ground units take, aircraft fly over the line with teleport towers)
s = Slow Tower
x = Rocket Tower
g = Gun Tower (I keep one there so I can sell and re-buy to make the enemies spend more time in the rocket zone.
a = Anti-Aircraft Tower
t = Teleport Tower
Everything was fully upgraded on wave 99 except for a couple of the AA towers. Wave 100 ended up being nothing but the 10 point guys, so as soon as I saw that no aircraft were coming, I started selling it all. The game ended with only 2 gun towers to steer the guys towards the end, 1 rocket tower, 1 slow tower, and 1 teleport tower.

The gun isn't upgraded because I sell and re-buy on a regular basis. Everything else is fully upgraded except for a couple of the AA towers.
I think you're probably better off just putting in an extra row of regular AA towers vs upgrading the single row. The same cost gets you more firepower.
YMMV. I have AA RELOAD +3, rox/ex +1, gun, artillery -1 and everything else 0 (e.g. level 33 or so). So ihave viable alternatives to my usual aa/rox/slow w/ guns as gate/bait. I tend to put some rox up front, then make a long path to 5Ts. I sometimess put in art, fire though I almost neven use gun aa upgrades... just aa.
I'm sorry, I didn't understand your question the first time around.
Stronger Bullets - 37 (I've been upgrading this of late just to get through the initial waves where I'm using gun towers. I sell them all off eventually and replace with rockets)
Stronger Explosives - 42
Faster Rocket Reload - 43
Faster Antiair Reload - 44
Faster Artillery Reload - 3 (a waste of points)
Longer Flame Burn - 10 (a waste of points)
Longer Slowdown - 37
Health Reward - 40
Starting Cash Reward - 42
Teleport & mine towers are unlocked, but I never use the mine towers.
To upgrade "Stronger Explosives" to level 43 will be 132,277,774 points.
Agreed best game no doubt. good strategy idea. try to snake your towers around in a way that the same monster/enemy must walk past a tower twice on either side. ill try and put up a pic but this strategy makes the game much easier, especially when they start throwin those big 10$ monsters at ya. 3 SAMS by the door and little anit-air cannons around along with slow towers. rockets deal a fair amount of damage to planes and ground troops, anti-air will finish that off and there should be so much shooting going on 3 titans could not get through.
I tend to run 'Lizzie' (tin lizzies) North up col A, down C, back up to E1. Then all the way to the corner, looping back as far as I can on row 3. I snake a little on the way to row 10.
Starting from the back, Lizzie has to run over 5T on the exit row 6. I send her to the wall on 8, the connecting from the corner as listed above.
I will generally start with rockets on D6 7 and 8 and C9 with slows on B9 and D9. The rest of the map starts out gggs. High priority replacements are the row 4 (mainly to smack rolling Lizzie) and then rox in middle rows. I generally fully upgrade 'best' field of fire rockets like D5 - D8 or select row 4 before putting rockets in col B.
A picture would help lol. Thousand words and all that.
You leave guns as gate/bait at places like F10 to draw Lizzie back into rox zones. Bait if you just remove a gun, gate if you use another gun to pinch off Lizzie's old road through.
That path was a new one from yesterday. Gives you a nice block for SAMs at F7 to H9 or I9 or something.
My 'old reliable' pattern does vertical snakes mostly.
The back end has a short horizontal run at the bottom and a slightly longer one up top (snakes, top horizontal run,down to bottom run, ending w 5T at the exit. Gate/bait C2, E10, G2, I10, etc. Lots of chances to pull at the back of long groups, then exploit the gap in traffic at other bait/gates.
The link says there are no photos. Can you repost. I am sure others would like to see your layout since you are at such a high level. I use graph paper to design my layouts and I use colored marker to show my tower placements. While playing the level I will make chages to the layout based on my weaknesses. On this map, only afew will make it near the end of the second row. When that happens I can sell the entry tower and block the second row forcing the bots back to start.

They really are crappy pictures. There are two pictures of level 860-94, left and right of screen. I paused the game on level 860-100 before the enemies started out. I took 4 pictures of that. The other two pictures are after I sold everything. When the game ended I had $3252.
Been playing Robo Defense for about 6 months now...Such a fun game!! I love it! I've figured out a cool strategy that almost always gets me a perfect game...have now gone from level 1 to level 100 with zero losses. :-)

The game will solve that problem for you! I think the highest I got with perfect health was around level 400.
I went back and played a game on basic level 500 to see if I could get perfect health. I saw something I haven't seen in a month or two. The Titan came out on wave 79.
The sell-off at the end didn't work as well. I had too much weapon strength to have enough time to sell everything.
I did manage to end the game with perfect health.

The Titan will always come out at lvl 79 as long as you have a perfect game and you have unlocked all the achievements. I recently just completed lvl 860 and was one level away from having the titan but ended losing 1. I typically have about 40 remaining guys left out of 56 at around this level.
Was curious if anyone has made it to level 1000 yet?
I also wanted to know if anyone had more details on the upgrade glitch. My starting cash is at lvl 51 and I need 227,501,296 to upgrade to lvl 52. I'm assuming if the glitch was still around I would have hit it by now.

Only losing one life at level 860 is damn impressive. I've completed 890, but have been spending the last couple days completing all of the achievements that I hadn't gotten around to. It's kind of time consuming playing 25 games each of the other maps, and then another 20 of the VR maps. 5 more to go in the courtyard and I'll have "every" achievement unlocked.
To the best of my knowledge, you and I are the only ones on this forum playing in the 800's. I really haven't played that many games, I always skip to the next 10 game up level. It sounds like you've got higher levels on your arms. I'm at mid 40s on the rocket power/reload & AA reload. You've got way more starting cash than me as well. Looks like I'll have to play a bunch of games to upgrade the weapons!
I thought I read in earlier pages that the upgrade glitch had been fixed long ago. All of the upgrades I got were paid for regularly. After putting this much time into the game, I'd be a little pissed to hit a cheat that made further progress meaningless.

Thanks. The games are really inconsistent though. With my set up i am pretty vulnerable to early air and obviously late game, if they send just jets in any wave in the 90's, odds are i'm going to lose a couple.
Actually my rock power/reload is a bit lower than yours. My set up involves a lot of cash in the beginning to utilize the entire map so i've been just upgrading money. I've wasted enough money on that though and going to start upgrading the rocket power/reload now and concentrate on those until the end of the game. I've been playing on VR Training A Map 0003 to get more money per each game. I've been getting around 45 million points per game which is probably twice the amount you'd get on basic. I'm really hoping that the last level is 1000 and it is much more challenging than the previous levels. (Probably not though.)
Oh and the achievements I took care of at the beginning of the game after I completed level 100 or so. I wanted to get those out of the way fast so I could take advantage of the bonus levels and get the titan a lot easier.

I didn't even play a VR game until a couple days ago. I'll try that tactic of playing VR to up the cash.

It's much better considering it is the same difficulty and there are no obstacles on the course to deal with. Plus you get the added benefit of seeing the squares you place items on so you can be more exact.

Excellent tip! Just played VR A 0003 on 850. Managed to kill the Titan, but after that I made a mistake and let a few jeeps through. A few fighters made it through as well when I wasn't fast enough on the teleport reloads. Just over 40 million points earned. Now I'm wondering why you get so many more points on VR vs Basic?

Congrats. Very impressive getting the Titan on Level 850. I was not able to do that and i'm assuming it has to do with me upgrading money rather than rocket power and reload. The reason you get more money on this is because it is considered a special stage. The basic gives the lowest amount while the other scenarios i believe give the same amount. (VR gives the same amount as Factory for all units while Basic is much lower)
I'm at around 560 or so but haven't been playing for maybe a week? I've been playing a little AirAttack or Wixel (boggle) instead.
I think I was at about 200 before I nailed out some of the last achievements on level 0 just setting up a board and letting the game run while watching TV or whatever.
You get many more points on VR, but I couldn't remember the blank level number or find it again after reading about that on another forum somewhere.

A 0003 is the same as the basic map. Twice the points!
Doh, yeah I hadn't realized it was twice as many. I just banged out a game at 500 and wound up with 22mil or so. Enough to bump my stats for a while since I finished with about 40/53 life. Wave 100 was mainly air and a good number blew by me, but I stacked my front with relatively weak anti-land and sold everything but a rocket launcher at the end before the last '10' guy was taken out.

Managed to get a perfect game today on VR A 0003 level 850. I've tried about 6 850 games recently and only got the titan twice. Also won 890 (lost 15 lives on that one), but I'm digging this 45,000,000 points per game.

Yeah the extra points from the VR training really helps build up your upgrades. I just beat level 890 as well. I was down to 40 lives at the end. I'm hoping to be at lvl 990 in about 4 days. These games are getting real long though.

Please tell me you don't fly Boeing 777s? The last thing I want to think about as I'm cruising to Hawaii is that the CA/FO is playing RoboDefense!
I wouldn't have a problem with it really
I'm typed on the CV440/340/240 & DC3, USA ATP.

Hahaha. Nah I'm not a pilot. Although if I was, I'd be playing the game while the plane is in cruise control. 10 bucks says i'd overshoot landing atleast once a week.
I'm on lvl 950 now. I did not pass 940 too smoothly though. My life was in the teens at the end. I've been noticing with all the fire power going on in the later levels, I get entirely way too much lag to be able to keep up with the fighter jets and reloading the teleports. Level 97 or 98 I lost over 10 fighter jets in one round due to the lag. Quite annoying.
Are there ways to minimize lag in this game in the options menu? Maybe taking off the option to show area covered when clicking on an object?

I've had this problem for a long while. Been playing way too much myself, my right shoulder is actually getting sore while playing. Your stated goal of 990 sometime this week challenged me. I was up until 1:30 AM last night, but I finished 990. Next hour and a half I have free I'll play the thousand game. I think I'll take a break after that.
It's getting to where I have to actively play almost every wave. Every wave that involves jeeps or aircraft requires that I'm playing on slow, and either redirecting ground troops, or recharging TT towers.
...it will teleport enimies back to their side so they can be shot at again
