Tower Madness HD for the iPad is a free tower defense type game. The object is to place weapons in the path of the invading aliens to protect the sheep (sheep?). My problem with it is too difficult at the very first level. It seems to want to force you to make an in-app purchase (using real money) to buy better weapons.
Addictive games tend to be easy in the beginning to let your learn the rules and draw you in. Addictive games also provide enough interactivity to keep you interested and engaged. Tower Madness HD simply runs on automatic pilot for wave after wave after wave of invading aliens after you place the weapons on the playing field. I’m surprised it made it so high up the iTunes iPad free apps list (it is currently #4). I’m uninstalling it from my iPad. Next!

Crazy Ivan: Thanks for the info. But, that is not evident in the “training” session. Nor is it obvious from the cluttered UI. And, sitting around watching wave after wave of attacks on the towers becomes boring after a while. Plants vs. Zombies is my idea of a well designed and fun to ply tower defense type game.
Is the first level really that hard? You just need to remember to spend all your money and upgrade your towers. After you get the hang of it you should have no trouble getting through it without losing any sheep! TowerMadness is one of my favorite games! You should really give it a fair chance.
