Well, you are taking one off the tape instead of adding one on, so just reversing all the gates won't completely work.  Probably still easiest to build from the same solution though as lots of it will be the same.

It completely worked.   awesome, for real


I literally took my Officers solution and flipped every color (red and blue, yellow and green -- I could have left yellow and green alone but I was feeling silly).  No other changes, and it worked flawlessly.

I did mine yesterday too.  I tried to make it different, but in the end I ended up with exactly the same thing and all the switches flipped...  I was hoping you wouldn't notice.   Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Here's my Police.  Curious to see yours, grebo... I didn't have that much trouble making it fit, but I did end up using pretty much the entire board.  Makes Judges difficult since the obvious solution to that one would involve building something off the tail end of Police...


(edit) hmm, I was able to do a little pruning.  Might actually have enough room to implement Judges off that.

I agree on Judges, I'll have to get out the heavy duty pruning shears.

I mean... I guess it sounds a little bit like it... then "crazy" is one word to describe it. It's like when they put this in 10, just odd compared to everything else.

I'd recommend people to try it out. Best flash TD I've ever played, and you can pick it up for the iPad I think.

God, I wish.  None of the levels last long enough for me to achieve my dream of filling the screen with fully upgraded artillery.

Yeah.  Was why I asked.  I'm replaying to get all the units fully upgraded to see the funnies, but even the last level screwed me on the Boom Boom.

That was excellent. Got all the cheevos, and all the stars including for the Heroic and Iron challenges, gave them money and also did the bonus content.

The challenge levels are fun, especially iron mode where it's one long wave and you aren't allowed to build certain tower types.

Is there a way to give them money that doesn't require a goddamn Paypal account?

I bought their iPad app verison, it's pretty fun ($2.99).

Though I find I'm not as good at this game as I originally thought.  why so serious?  Stupid map 10 (or somewhere around there) is stumping me on normal mode for cheesecakesake.

My strategy advice is below.  Spoilering because figuring this stuff out through experimentation was fun for me, and being told it straight out may just ruin the game for you.  You have been warned.

That would all be fine if there was ever cause to max it like that.

But alas, without an endless mode, there never is.

I think the last time I played the second to last level (my favorite to play around on because it's symmetric and has a nice mix of baddies with no OMG PUNCH THE MONKEY tower-freezing bullshit), I had eight maxed Berthas at the end.  So many missiles swooping around the screen looking for something to kill.  It was glorious.

I've been playing the crap out of this game. It's just...I can't understand why it's so addictive, but it's a great little soccer game.
