- canadian0, on 10/12/2007, -4/+95Has a flash game ever appeared on digg that wasn't horribly "addicting"?

Just so people see it earlier and stop posting how it's broken or something. The version linked in the title is a beta version.
Here is the link to the latest version:
http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD/
And YES it is a spin off of the many popular "Tower Defense" type games from Blizzard's Warcraft III and Starcraft, it's been posted many times...
BTW, I discovered this more in-depth version of this kind of game a few weeks back and have been meaning to post it. It's a standalone version of the game with better graphics and it's own UI and leveling up system. I give you Master of Defense:

Hope you like it! Just shows the ability of indie games and how much fun you can have without shelling out big bucks to large, overrated studios. Check out the website (gametunnel.com) in the second link if you enjoyed this game so much, because it is great way to discover other awesome indie games of all kinds of genres. I recommend you click the "Game of the Year" link in the green bar near the top of the site to get started finding other games, as it will show you various top quality examples of indie games in a multitude of categories. FYI, my all-time favorite indie game by far is Crimsonland - a top down shooter with various game types, leveling up, big guns, aliens, and as the name implies, lots of blood. I've spent days playing that game and it's still fun. I'll warn you though, if this defense game addicted you, be cautious of Crimsonland, as it will leave you "comfortably numb" for quite awhile. Sorry, long post. Hehe! - puttly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+68Reminds me of Warcraft 3 for some reason....
- warnerrr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35Just make sure you don't stare at Rosie O' Donnel, and I am sure you will be alright.
- upsidedork, on 10/12/2007, -5/+38"Addicting" is a transitive verb and requires a direct object, just like "attacking" or "getting." You mean "addictive." For Pete's sake.
- Fixe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33Air towers ? :D
- FileFerret, on 10/12/2007, -6/+38This is horribly awesome.
- snackdrag, on 10/22/2007, -1/+27this is just awesome. been playing it all day
goto the original site, they are constantly adding levels the link of this DIGG is an old mirror use this one instead!

Gee, I'm having fun AND learning fiscal responsibility! What a novel concept! - aaronm67, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22This submitter is an *****.
From the site:
"feel free to post it on your favourite forum or blog. However please do not copy the flash (swf) file or do anything other than linking to this page."
He's letting everyone play his cool little game for free, you can at least respect his requests. - anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Note to self: Build air towers next time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Goblins again!?
I got wood playing this game. - benjie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Direct link to a newer version that has more levels and is actually difficult to beat:

As I said earlier, make sure you visit his site (http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD) and click on an ad or two. He asked that we not link directly to the flash file, but I think everybody clicking an ad would be enough to keep him happy. Besides, playing it that small just isn't the same. - punchingjudy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yay for Warcraft sprites!
- Dradis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13@puttly
Zug Zug! - benjie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Just make sure you do go to the actual page and click a link or two. No point in depriving the guy who made this game of money that doesn't come from our pockets.
- Inverno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I put together a walk-through (with screen caps) based on Shadus' tips. I changed it a bit on the last few levels, but it should give you an idea.
http://www.consciousinacoma.com/eletd.php - Iroxorsju, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I beat all 30 levels first try then got beat in the bonus levels. I was on bonus level 4 when i was taken down. Just build archer towers all over. Then upgrade to fire towers when you get 1 wood. After that place 1 fire tower every level saving ail the rest of your cash. Start replacing the cheap towers with fire tower and spending your wood to get access to other towers but don't build them. Then once you unlock the combo tower start filling in the center with them.
- TomFrost, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Pull up porn in the next tab over.
(or wait every 7 levels) - atloose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This is actually an adaptation of one of my favorite Warcraft 3 map mods called "Element TD".
The official website is http://www.eletd.com
They also have #eletd on irc.gamesurge.net - Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9And as I was quitting the game, I noticed the URL was www.novelconcepts.co.uk...total coincidence. :D
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I'm generally beating it with a score of ~6500-7500 now.
Turn 1 On the far right side straight stretch build a cannon first turn.
---
Turn 2-6 Second turn build a second cannon 2 spaces under the first, third turn upgrade first cannon once, fourth turn upgrade first cannon again, fifth turn upgrade second cannon once, sixth turn upgrade second cannon twice.

Turn 7-20 Seventh turn buy fire with yoru wood, then buy a fire tower and put it between the two cannons, when they start getting about even with the fire cannon on their second contact upgrade it. Turn 14 buy water. When you come to the fliers make sure you're at your second upgrade. Don't do the third upgrade (150gp).

Turn 21-30 Turn 21 buy earth. Drop a rocket tower in the middle of the square, upgrade it before the next fast group attack. Turn 30 add a second rocket.
Bonus Round 31 - Add water in a shape like is on a dice when the six is up. or put 9. Fully upgrade them.
Bonus Round 32 - Add more rockets, upgrade old ones.
Bonus Round 33 - Add more rockets, upgrade old ones.
Bonus Round 34 - Add fire towers in shape like is on a dice when the 5 is up. Upgrade to 300dmg.
Bonus Round 35 - Spend it if you got it. At this point nothing should have gotten through yet, but one or two will probably slip through this round... you'll off them easily on second loop. - aaronm67, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@Sydney
These were FAR more popular as Starcraft games before Warcraft III ever came out :-P.
So, I suppose it would be the this was inspired by Warcraft III Mods which were inspired by Starcraft Use Map Settings Games. - stephenwq, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Direct link to the swf:

...oh you meant the game? Every 7 levels. - mrsmalkav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7did you see the high score list?! wtf is up with the 40k+ scores?!?!?!?

- whisk3rs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7A while ago there was a basic version of this game which I've been playing ever since ( http://onemorelevel.com/games.php?game=415 ). This seems to be even more kickass, thanks!
- Argle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That game was bizarre. I played it for a good 20 minutes, but I have no idea why. :)
- mvanhorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I usually ignore these "addicting flash games"... but this one was awsome and I played for prob an hour. 1,708 points
- zeero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7good old warcraft 3 tower defense.
- MadNuke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That's a huge pet peeve of mine, thanks.
- ColinMacLeod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Sadly, it only has 29 levels (or it ended with 4 lives left).

Enjoy :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How the hell did you score 11000 points on lvl 25 when I passed all 30 levels without losing a life and only got 1780 points?
- SkepticJoker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm in 1200th place on Top Scores.
I got 2,551 points. I have way too much free time. It even asked me "How are you still alive?!" - Karawasa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Thought I would drop in and say hi.
In case you don't know, I'm the guy behind Element TD 3.0 for TFT.
I'm happy that a flash game based off of my work (and of course Mrchak's) is doing so well.
Cheers
PS: If you have Warcraft 3 or want to learn more about the game behind the flash, the link is http://www.eletd.com - brokendaylite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6how do you get wood??????
- Thezeppelin62, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4More fun on Warcraft III Frozen Throne.
- incu_vamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4how the hell do you play?
i'm guessing theres something really wrong with my browser... - Number17, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The hacked version doesn't work anymore
- StevethePirate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I think you mean heroin
- SydneyBristow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6For those of you that enjoyed this type of game, this flash game is inspired by warcraft 3 mods that are usually titled "xxxxx TD" , "xxxx Tower Defense", or "xxxx Maul." For example, Pokemaul or Azure Tower Defense would be two examples of tower defense games. If you'd like to play full screen versions of this game that are much better, try picking up warcraft 3 (frozen throne expansion is also recommended but not necessary) and joining some custom games that go by those names I mentioned above. For more information, here is a wiki link that talks about this type of game:
