Robo Defense

Hey I'm new to the post but am absolutely hooked on robo defense and want some fun new ways to play. So... one question, one comment:

You are mentioning rocket codes and stuff - how/where do you enter those in? Sorry to sound like a total noob, but I am super curious.

Has anyone found and defeated the titan? I did, I think it was on like level 40+ something in the courtyard. But now I never see him again. It was cool to have a new invader to defend against and I think they should update the game with either more titans scattered throughout or new characters to play against.

Ahhh found this. OK I have some work to do to beat survivor mode!

BTW @bhmadsen 160 billion points may be the most baller thing I have ever heard. I aspire to your robo defense expertise, sir...
All it represents is a lack of getting ahead in real life. FWIW, I deleted the game on accident from my phone and when I reinstalled it didn't retain my awards. I'm back to the beginning now and will never get to that point again now that they've fixed the bugs.

I believe the Titan only comes out if you have a perfect game going (no lost health) and at least for me, I think he always comes out on level 79.

There have been changes to the Titan over various versions of this game, when I first got it, march 2010, I found the titan on wave 49 or 60 something (I think it is on one of the first 3 pages of this topic) on a fairly low difficulty and I was at 18 out of 20 health, since then it has become known that the titan appears when health is full and the bonus is at 118 (I think it is) on a specific wave number. I am too lazy to dig through the posts here to figure which it was, and I have not played more than 3 games in the last 4 months, as I am at a point where laying out 6-10 towers and putting the game in fast forward wins for me. So I have been playing alternate tower games, most not as good, some nearly identical, still others more fun, but for different reasons. And beyond that I have been playing fewer games on my android devices over all.

anyone have advice on strategies for setting up your maze on the Courtyard level? I will dig, but also thought I'd throw this out there for those who want to weigh in.

Try pages 7 or 8, I posted some maps, but I'll briefly describe it here as what I like to do now may not be the same as before...

you know, it will be easier for me to set it up and take a screen shot... I'll edit this post and fill it in tonight or tomorrow...

from here, just upgrade as needed (anti-air/SAM missiles/mortars) as needed, if you have to use the reverse snake method, there is a single gun turret on the left and right side of the screen that you can remove and add another right next to it to keep the ground units roaming back and forth. sometimes your upgrades are not adequate and the jets can fly through top to bottom, or bottom to top. you will nee to put an additional slow tower in the dead center position to stop them. (and major SAM missiles too!) you can add missiles in the center of the courtyard by replacing turrets, these will/should be able to reach the left and right side flying units a little as well as covering the center channel.

sorry the difficulty level is so low in this image (I am over 2000 on my tablet), I have been playing on a different device, and the screen shot app only captures blank black screens on my tablet. so this is off my phone which I stopped playing on 4 or 5 months ago.

That is *awesome*. Thank you!! My mazes are good on all the other levels, but the courtyard is tricky with the guys coming from both top and bottom.

How many levels can I upgrade my towers and other things?

I currently have level 16 Faster Rocket Reload and Level 12 Stronger Explosives, which makes the game very easy up to level 45 so far, but I am curious as to how many levels can I upgrade this too.

Upgrading it to the next level cost over 600,000 so it is going to be a while till I find out Im sure.

I am playing level 538 on basic, 200 on the other levels. My current levels are: stronger bullets lvl 50. 379,176,872. Stronger explosives lvl48 394,979,311. Faster rocket reload lvl44 101,587,971. Faster antiair reload lvl48 105,323,934. Faster artillery reload lvl46 109,713,204. Longer flame burn lvl50 113,745,118. Longer slowdown lvl46 109,713,204. Health reward lvl52 109,195,293. And starting cash reward lvl49 157,987,012. I have all 88 achievement points. I earn about 23 million when I play a regular level perfectly and 34 million when I play in survival mode. I end up with 32 fully upgraded antiair guns, 11 half upgraded slow towers, 24 half upgraded red guns, and 17 regular blue guns, one of which I use as a gate to redirect overflowing robots. I get perfect scores on in survival mode, and am 50% perfect in basic mode. You do not build the same guns in survival mode as in basic.

Had something odd happen today while playing RoboDefense. In the past, Titan always showed up at level 79 but only when I had a perfect game going. (Hadn't lost any hearts) Well, today when I was playing, when I got to level 79, no Titan. So I looked at my hearts and noticed I had lost one. I didn't know I was one down so it must have slipped past when I wasn't looking. It had to have slipped out very early in the game because my bonus level was up around the 250's. Since I was so far into the game I continued. (When I loose a heart early, I generally restart because I hate not getting the million+ "perfect game" bonus.) Anyway, I played on down one heart, and surprise.... Titan showed up on level 86 or 89.... Can't remember for sure, I was so suprised because Titan had NEVER shown up in any game on level other than 79, and then only when a perfect game was in progress. I have continued playing some other games down one heart but only when I lost the hearts at higher levels... like in the 50's or higher. On those games, Titan never showed....

I'm playing the game on a Droid X. Has this happened to anyone else? Does Titan only ever show up on another level other than 79 during perfect games?

I've found the titan twice actually, once on lvl. 60 basic map, and once on lvl. 100 basic map. Yesterday something really weird happened too.. I went to spend my 3,000,000ish points on the mine tower unlock but then when I unlocked it, my points didn't go away. So I bought something else and my points still didn't go away. So I upgraded everything until it cost more than 3 Mil per upgrade. Then when I played the game again it just added to my 3 Mil and let me keep on spending. Unfortunatly today the glitch is gone, anyone else had this happen???

Hello there,
I'm new to the game but starting to learn quickly. Looked to the game set-up and I read some strategy guides which explained the game somewhat more.

I figered out, it would be more wise to invest in explosives upgrades (+10%) than it would be on bullet upgrades (only +1%). Assuming rockets are already more powerful than bullets and 10 explosive upgrades give me +100% and 10 bullet upgrades give me only +10%. So I mostly use rocket towers (only use gun towers in temporary positions) and invest in explosives and 'reload'.

What I'm trying to find out is, how can I do the most damage for the lowest cost per tower. Right now I mostly just place an additional rocket tower (which cost me one placeholder and 20$) before choosing to upgrade (which cost me 30$ for medium or even 50$ for a mortar)

So besides the point I that need to invest in air defense and that one cannot do without a proper mace, I currently rather place 7 rocket towers -if I have the space to place them- than one artillery tower.
Is this the right tactic? Or does one artillery tower causes far more damage -to ground troops- than seven rocket towers?

Has anyone found out the "cost-damage per placeholder"-ratio for explosive based towers?
It should be something like: ( range x power x speed ) / total cost

Anyone made this calulation for the diverse towers yet?

Does Titan only ever show up on another level other than 79 during perfect games?

Dirkbonn, having a perfect game is not the tricker to enlease the Titan. it appears when you have 78 levels played without any loss. So if you have lost a lives at level 20 but you managed to keep the intruders away since then, the Titan will prabable appear in level 99.
