A Revolution in Tower Defense Games – Metalix

Radu M. asked:




I am confident that most of you played at least one tower defense game online, because this genre has it’s own…appeal. I, for one, am addicted to strategy games and I enjoy the idea of destroying enemies using defensive towers. Like in all other tower defense games, this is exactly what you will be doing in Metalix.

At first glance, this game seems to bring nothing new to it’s genre. As you start the game, you will notice a few “surprise” elements, like the changing trajectory for the enemy waves, and the ability to adjust the position of your towers across the map.

The first few attacks are not difficult, so you do not need to adjust the position of your defense (two towers will take out all enemies without any upgrades, but the game is about to change really soon).

One thing that I didn’t appreciate about this game is that the difficulty of the game is not increased after each level. Like I said, the first attacks are easy, then it becomes a little more difficult, but you are still relaxed, and then… a massive wave of metal rolling machines comes your way and you realize that you are overwhelmed and need more towers than you can buy. And, of course, you observe that there is no more cash for at least ONE more tower ( because this game has it’s way of making you spend all your money after each round ). Then you will restart the game, and you will manage to destroy the big round metal rolling things, but only after you complete the boring first levels, that are now far to weak for your well placed and upgraded towers. At this moment, you will probably wish for a “fast forward” feature…but there isn’t any.

Because of the changing path of the enemy attacks, there is also some “luck” involved in the game. You might get a very twisted trajectory that will be very beneficial for you tower placement, or you might get a very straight one that will require you to buy more towers in order to cover a larger area.

The interface of the game is pretty intuitive, although you will feel like reading the game instructions at times. The layout of the HUD is good compared to other tower defense games, so you will be able to rapidly place another tower or move it around if needed.

The guys from Point Zero Co. developed an excellent tower defense game, probably one of the best of it’s kind. The nice layout, great graphics, challenging levels, and various options make this little game entertaining enough to get you through any boring day at work.

Where I can I find good sales & marketing folks other than the US?

I’m looking to hire motivated sales & marketing (new grads are okay too) folks for my own Social media startup here in the Bay Area. However, we’re thinking of maybe going offshore as well since we’re operating in a distributed environment.

Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks,
