It’s time to talk about my addiction to TapDefense, the free iPhone tower defense game.  It’s quick, it’s fun, it’s simple.  And unlike many, many iPhone games, it’s stable.

I first heard about TapDefense when my brother-in-law, Jeff, mentioned it.  I downloaded it (free, right?) and I don’t think I’ve been able to stop playing since.  That was months ago.

Here’s the thing about TapDefense: there isn’t a lot going on.  There’s a few types of towers.  You earn money for killing demons.  You earn interest on your money.  Since I started playing, they’ve added “challenge modes” that create new strategies.

It’s the kind of game you can play in as short a burst as you want деревянная мебель.  I play it when I’m walking somewhere.  I play it at the stoplight in traffic.  I play it while I’m waiting for my computer to start up in the morning.

I know there are other tower defense games for the iPhone.  There are probably even better ones.  But how many of them are free, and how many can I play for months without getting bored?

[spoiler]My favorite strategy for TapDefense is Ice/Storm – alternate Ice and Storm towers near the beginning of the map.  You only need a few of each if they’re fully upgraded.  A few of any other towers at the end will kill anything that gets through that barrage.  Or, with about 6 Ice towers and 6 Storm towers, you don’t really need anything else.  That’s enough to take out anything that comes at you.[/spoiler]
