Wavefront: Tower Defense

FIXED — THE BANNER OVER THE TOWER BAR The ad banner docked to the bottom of the screen, which is exactly where the weapon bar lives, so it covered the build buttons and their prices. On a lot of phones that meant you could not place a tower at all. There is no banner inside a level any more, and on the menus nothing you can tap sits underneath one either. NEW — 60 FPS The game runs at 60 frames per second on phones that can hold it. Settings has a switch if you would rather have the battery. NEW — BOSSES FIGHT BACK From the Desert onward a boss raises a barrier twice as its health falls. Break it and the boss staggers — it stands still while you keep firing. Chip at it slowly and you have spent that damage for nothing. Below a third of its health it burns red and speeds up for the rest of the fight. NEW — SHATTER A slowed enemy is a brittle one. Frost does almost no damage by itself, but bring it alongside the Cannon or the Sniper and every hit on a slowed target is worth 30% more. The weapon select screen tells you when you have the pair. NEW — THREE LEVELS THAT CHANGE THE RULES Every world now has three that ask for something different: one where no tower can be upgraded, so you build wide instead of tall; one where you get a single weapon and as many copies of it as you can afford; and one that starts you with five lives instead of twenty.
