Robo Defense

I too went on hiatus with this game. 1130 was the last level I did. My daughter is graduating from High School and all my free time has been spent dealing with her graduation.

I'll get back on it sometime.


Technically the game just ended for me. After you increase to level 48 for Rocket upgrades, it goes to negative so you can technically increase the level by 2 now each time you upgrade. Although it really doesn't help out all that much. But seeing the game is flawed now i'm assuming if I just kept upgrading it that i'd eventually get to a point where the game would be very easy.

I wouldn't rush back to the game really considering eventually you will get to the same point i'm at.

I didn't get any "negative" awards bonus! I'm starting to feel cheated. My upgrades on rocket and AA are curently at 51, so I don't know what happened with your phone.

Oh well, I did manage to squeeze in enough time to complete 1220 today. I lost 9 lives and finished with 59+ million.

I cant figure out the thing with upgrades:
when i place a rocket tower and then click on it - i have an upgrade to air missile available. It is marked with my current upgraded level, for example +10% or +50%.
After the upgrade I now have an advanced air defense option, but it has exactly same +10% or +50%. So is it really worth upgrading? Does it really add anything? Even third level upgrade has same numbering...

Its the case for all towers, ie bullet tower->flame>inferno - flame and inferno have same percentages next to it?

Not sure what happened. I know the negative for me happened at around 390 million point cost. Once I reach that level, the next upgrade is always a negative and then a postive again. Currently I'm at level 2260 and only have to put like 6 towers down to kill everything. I upgraded my Cash to level 6000 and all of my rocket power and speed is upgraded to 1000.

Are you playing on the Motorola Droid? Maybe we are on different phones and the flaw only exists in certain versions.

The upgrades are purely based on what you increase. Natural upgrades are still always better. So yes you won't see any change in % when you upgrade a Rocket Tower. I'm not really sure if I answered your question but an increasing your rockets to the next level are very beneficial as they do a lot more damage and shoot much quicker.

G1, firmware 1.6

Just finished 1240 and still have yet to see any awards at negative price levels.

Anyone have a pic of the Titan. I achieved the task but never got to see what it looked like and I'm really upset. BTW it seems he appears in Ruins lvl 30 or 50 for those who havent accomplished this yet. If you do attempt this task, try and get a pic and post it online. I'm sure many "Defense" players would appreciate that. Thanks

how effective is the flame thrower ? if I have 2 flame towers next to each other, does it only apply one flame or does it do damage x2 ?

also, if i reset my device is there a way to save my save data and how do i save the actual game that i paid for? or is it always available via my google account ?

For what it's worth, at about upgrade level 50, I also experienced negative numbers with Stronger Explosives, and once with Faster Antiair Reload on my Droid. I was at about game level 900 at the time.

It does not occur all the time.

When it occurs, I get my upgrade, but my upgrade points actually increase by about 40 million, and the upgrade cost is now -40 million or so. When I upgrade again, I get my upgrade and my upgrade points increase another 40 million or so. I do this 6 to 10 times and finally I lose my upgrade points.

Another error that I'm seeing is that when I play a VR game, I may earn 50-60 million points, but I only get 20-30 million added to my total. Points work fine in the basic game.

I do not know if version 1.3 fixes these errors.

I still love the game.

Some of the bugs that I've experienced. At around level 50 upgrades on rocket power, speed, and AA speed, I started getting the negative award. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes I get a double negative. I got my reward dollars up over the billion mark with this double negative. I always get too greedy and try to get more than I should, that puts my reward down low and I have to build back up to the 400 million level to get more upgrades.

I was playing level 1400 for the second or third time just to build up reward and I noticed that I was no longer receiving the "remaining health reward." I went back to 1300 and played a game and received the reward. Played 1300 one more time and the remaining health award was gone. I'm currently playing games at 1200 am still receiving the award.

I didn't upgrade yesterday because I figured Lupis Labs is probably following this thread and fixed the negative award bug.

Bhmadsen,

I'm currently at 1320. I started experiencing scoring problems around 1200, so I think I experienced the same as you.

This evening I'll play a game or two with V1.3 and I'll let you know if anything is different.

However, it will probably be a couple days before I'll have enough funds to upgrade my explosives to see if the upgrade works correctly.

I played a little with flame throwers a long time ago. I found them effective with unarmored infantry and ants.

But flame throwers did nothing in regards to the units that gave me the most trouble, e.g. jeeps and aircraft.

So, I do not use frame throwers. I use my upgrade funds for other upgrades, e.g. health, slowness, explosives, and rocket and anti-air reload.

I upgraded flame throwers and artrillery to about 20, but this may have been a waste. I also upgraded bullets to about 30, and I'm not sure if this was a waste.
