This link goes to a game that is highly addictive. Do not click it. You will waste several hours. I am warning you. [DON"T CLICK HERE](http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD/) ---

My best score is 1965. There is a message board with hints, but try it on your own first. I mean…DON’T try it. ---

[QUOTE=newcrasher] My best score is 1965. There is a message board with hints, but try it on your own first. I mean…DON’T try it. [/QUOTE] I’m not into flash games, so the fact that I played it for 30 mins says a lot. I sent it to several people on my IM list…they’re all hooked. I mean…hooked like heroin. ---

Damn. I sucked mightily my first try (731, level 21,) mainly due to a very random and haphazard placement I started out with in the beginning. Now that I have a bit of a feel for it, we’ll see if I can do better. ---

Now, THAT’s a good game. Reminds me a lot of Rampart, one of my all-time favorites. ---

There was a game very similar to this posted to Fark a couple of months ago. The cannons were fire, water, and ice, and the graphics were very simplistic. You had to defend a castle. I found that game very fun. ---

This game is actually an improvement, as the thugs are humorous. ---

Awesome. After 3 tries: Score: 3480 Level: 37 (looks like no one has ever made it past lvl 39. That should be the Doper challenge ;)) ---

Level 29. The more I strategize, the worse I get. Fire faster, my little cannons, fire faster!!! ---

A water cannon near the start of the track is worth its weight in gold. ---
