Random Defense Game

arcade.itch.com — Random Defense is a slick new Tower Defense game featuring 10 different maps and loads of levels on your turrets. If you've never played a TD game before, you're in for a treat. If you're a TD vet, you'll still be pleasantly surprised and challenged. Beware the pumpkins!

  • AlphaR75, on 04/10/2008, -2/+61This has already cost me ten minutes of productivity................. thanks!
    • smackkmonkey, on 04/10/2008, -0/+15productivity and digg... does not compute.
    • blake182, on 04/10/2008, -1/+19I'm on Linux. This has already cost me ten minutes just to figure out the tragic set of steps to upgrade my Flash player to the hyper-current version that they require.
    • themastersb, on 04/10/2008, -11/+3I SEE WHY THEY CALL THIS GAME RANDOM NOW XD
    • h4mx0r, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Pfft, define 'productivity'
    • MasterThief117, on 04/10/2008, -0/+710 minutes? More like an hour for me.
    • unearth, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3Pro Tip: If you intentionally lose a game with a turret as your cursor, and place the cursor on the blank screen afterwards, it will be there when you start your next game. It just freezes when you win/lose, though. No scores.

    • rrbest, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1good god... wasted 6 hours. Didn't win of course.
    • ellimist, on 04/10/2008, -4/+1Yeah, about 10 minutes. I beat the one of the levels the first time. I am not bragging, I just think the game is WAY too easy.
  • louiebaur, on 04/10/2008, -1/+8Yea that wasted a little of my work time as well:-)
  • brightness, on 04/10/2008, -13/+5No... please no more defense games!!
  • bossm4n, on 04/10/2008, -1/+30Well there goes the rest of my evening.
  • hotrocks, on 04/10/2008, -2/+24Nooooo! i have work to do tonight!
    Ahhhhhhhh its sucking me in!
  • DeathJux, on 04/10/2008, -1/+80I don't understand why TD games are so much fun... there's something so addicting and satisfying about trying to create a perfect defense, and watching your enemies as they're helplessly crushed by your onslaught. Then you look at the time and 40 minutes are gone.
    • marky125, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4Agreed. Although stationary towers don't quite constitute an "onslaught"
    • rrbest, on 04/10/2008, -0/+8And then you restart.
  • koopertrooper, on 04/10/2008, -0/+10i was going in ready to hate it but its really a lot of fun
  • covertress, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4I'm not a gamer... but that intro rocked! - c
  • chrisaug18, on 04/10/2008, -0/+30Damn it, I am a sucker for these games and your timing is horrible....final exams are in a couple days.
  • eigh, on 04/10/2008, -2/+25http://turretdefensegames.com/

    pwn!
  • notdatagain, on 04/10/2008, -0/+6MY LIFE! Noooooooo....
  • uziko, on 04/10/2008, -11/+2that game sucked
  • Babaganoosh08, on 04/10/2008, -11/+2How did this get to the front page?
  • legoalert33, on 04/10/2008, -0/+13ZOMG! ZERG RUSH!!!
  • oldcrows40, on 04/10/2008, -1/+1i made it to the evil kitty stage
  • Nick22, on 04/10/2008, -1/+4Games not really that bad, bout as good as most other TD games, but this one just seems like its got some really ***** drawings/animations. Basically seems amateurish
  • chrisaug18, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3+1 for having interest :)
  • agentshiro, on 04/10/2008, -2/+0That intro was a FTL jump into excellence.
  • ravage86, on 04/10/2008, -3/+20I'm not gay!

  • macromage, on 04/10/2008, -1/+0I can not get past about 1/2 on any of the hard levels but Med and easy are pretty easy once you get a stratagy down.
    Sell old turets after you place the explosive reacher. the rocket launcers are really good at this point.
    All you need for the first 2 levels is 1 gun terret upgraded to level 1.

    • macromage, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1I am now at the top of the charts on that web site with a score of 49,816. I win, beat that :P
  • Nhmarine, on 04/10/2008, -8/+0I thought this was a website for news.... How is this news? (I have already played this game, quite lame after a while, but a good way to divert your mind from interminable bordom) Why is this on the front page?
  • Modestexcuse, on 04/10/2008, -1/+4Haaaaa! Got stuck (enjoying) playing the game for 20 minutes, came back just to comment. :)
  • antiorblkflag9, on 04/10/2008, -2/+1bye bye work
  • theAlice, on 04/10/2008, -11/+19Game fails for not having a build cancel function. You click on a building, you have to place it.
  • eyepatch100, on 04/10/2008, -2/+0Quality
  • NathanielJ, on 04/10/2008, -4/+5How did this get on the front page, when it's an exact copy of all of the other dozens of tower defense games, and not even a very good one at that? This is an exact replica of Onslaught, which was already one of the lesser tower defense games.

    Desktop Tower Defense was the only tower defense game ever worth playing.
    • theAlice, on 04/10/2008, -1/+4All the tower defense games are a copy of the original Warcraft III Tower defense, but no one complains about that.
      • NathanielJ, on 04/10/2008, -1/+1Yes, they do. Like I said, Desktop Tower Defense was the only one ever worth playing, because (get this) it was DIFFERENT from Warcraft III Tower defense. It wasn't just someone's reskinning of a 2-year-old Flash game that was already a rip-off.
      • silon, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3Actually, Dune 2 was a pretty good tower defense game.

        After you win the defense, there's the tank rush.

        ... time to replay it ...
  • antipoet, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5Buried in hopes that other diggers won't lose their girlfriends this month. Oh, who am I kidding...
  • MasterThief117, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1It is so much fun to build a whole bunch of the huge ***** laser towers and watch as literally nothing can get by.
    This game also needs a free play where you have unlimited funds.
  • PrimoTurbo, on 04/10/2008, -4/+2Beat it from first try, 22100 was final score.
  • xcornbreadx, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1This game is gonna get me fired!!
  • engerstyle, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0heh....so much for studying tonight
  • benjeye, on 04/10/2008, -0/+9NSFW you'll get distracted and fired :-)
  • yor1001, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2Now that is the best TD game Ive ever played, I am hooked.
  • punkcat, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1damn that was addictive
  • Canadian0207, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3*****...i'm hooked.
  • firex66, on 04/10/2008, -2/+1hey, i think we get how addidctive it is so u dont need to tell us anymore.
  • koick, on 04/10/2008, -0/+10Direct link / full screen:

  • CameronConnor, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Wow... I literally was in the Zone for the last 2 hours. I dont even know what happened...
  • d3sp, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2I can't really ever get 39 levels or so.. (this is the easy maps).. seems combos work the best to slow/gernade/range damage.. I couldn't get to my fn 1500 uber gun *sad*
    • arrrapirate, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1the ubergun isn't really that great. you have to upgrade everything hardcore to get it, and then to upgrade the gun itself requires +1 more of all the tech levels +another 1400

      ...on the other hand, i can just leave the game running and type this to you, so...
  • AzureRise, on 04/10/2008, -4/+32,844, didn't lose lives till level 23, lost on 24.
  • computrius, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3Nice! It reminds me of all the custom made maps I used to play on battle.net for starcraft.
  • romygrr8, on 04/10/2008, -1/+07,832, lost on level 50
    • LordLOC, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Heh, 12,209 on level 50 also. Sooooo many on that last level, my two supar megaz laser turretz couldn't keep up!
  • bingobongony, on 04/10/2008, -3/+7Can someone please tell people who are designing new tower defense games to STOP hiding the tower selection area. It is EXTREMELY annoying to have to mouse over the area to build a tower, especially when you are scrambling to build quickly.
    • unearth, on 04/10/2008, -0/+7Space = Pause, and you can build while paused, so you shouldn't be in a rush.
      • bingobongony, on 04/10/2008, -3/+3A much better solution is to have the tower selection somewhere where you can access it easily. (Like most of hte early ones had before programmers tried to get fancy with it.) Do you really want to keep interrupting your game to pause it? Itis MUCH easier, and user friendly to simply devote a small row along the bottom or top, or column to the left or right, to your structure list.

        It is a shame, because it looks like a good game otherwise, but I am not going to keep pausing the damn thing every time I want to build something.
    • barf314, on 04/10/2008, -3/+5Can someone please tell people who are playing new tower defense games to STOP bitching about the tower selection area. It is EXTREMELY annoying to have to listen to them think that their preferences are better for everybody, especially when you prefer design elements that they despise.
  • ayyyyy, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1hey, i won.
  • 2fuct, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2I spent my whole day at work playing this and got nothing done.
  • 44Bigs, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Oh my god.. was that two hours already? Awesome game :)
  • simpletwist, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5Okay, tht sucked 3 1/2 hours of my life last night. NO MORE!
  • Beerduck, on 04/10/2008, -2/+2I fail to see what's so random about this game? Would someone care to explain?
    • Raxem, on 04/10/2008, -0/+2You're destroying random *****. That's what's random.
    • kagayaki1, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Agent Smith, 'nuf said
  • tomjm5000, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1I don't care if people bury me, but I apparently lack the same gaming skill and can't figure out how to really get past the first level... i run out of money after building essentially anything except mines, which do not recoup enough money. what am i missing?
    • Kaitsu, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Try an Easy-labeled level from the main menu and just drop basic bullet shooting towers somewhere.
    • Kronos6948, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Try building just one research center first, then build a big gun. Then a couple of small ones. Take it from there.
    • AvangionQ, on 04/10/2008, -1/+8Build turrets and grenades, position them wisely and upgrade them as far as they can go ... buy a finance center for the 3% boost ... from now, try to only buy things at the start of rounds in order to maximize the 3% finance boost ... create a research station for either turrets or explosives ... now upgrade your turrets or explosives as far as they can go ... upgrade the research station and turrets/explosives until they're maxed ... buy the bigger turrets/rockets and max them out ... now, buy a second research station and repeat this process ... buy the third electrical research station, but don't buy more than 3 of the slowing electric field buildings - they're not all that great ... upgrade the research station to level 3 and then start buying the mega laser turrets ... either buy as many lasers as you can get or upgrade your finances or upgrade your lasers -- should be enough ... and don't even bother with the mines -- they're a trap to waste your finances ... hope that strategy helps ...
  • sailadayaway, on 04/10/2008, -0/+2Anyone else catch the 2 in the binary at the beginning?
