Flash Element TD - Addicting Game

Since we get bored here often we are constantly looking for new and cool things to do on the net.

Just the other day we came across a browser java game. This game had me up for hours and hours.....and hours and hours.

Really, once I figured the game out I just couldn't stop playing it.


How does it work?

Take a look at the picture above. The game starts with a green grassy field with a small winding and narrow dirt path that twists all through the field. The dirt path is where creatures of all sorts (Imps, Goblins, Small Children) will walk down. Starting from the top left, they follow the path all the way to the top right. The object is to stop them before they get there.

To the right of the play field are your controls. The top banner tells you how much gold, wood and lives you have left. It also tells you your current score. You accumulate gold by killing the monsters that run down the path. Every 7 levels you get 1 wood.

Below that you see your 3 different tower categories listing 1-3 different tower types. Each tower specialized in a certain thing.

Basic Towers
  • Arrow Tower - Fast speed but does little damage. It's great for taking out fast monsters.
  • Cannon Tower - Your main tower. It's slow but packs a punch and damages more than 1 thing at a time.
  • Air Tower - This tower is the fastest attacking tower in the game and does decent damage. The only catch is that it only shoots monsters that are flying.
Elemental Towers
  • Water Tower - This tower fires at a quick speed as well. It does moderate damage and slows the movement of anything it fires at.
  • Earth Tower - Second most damaging tower in the game. It packs a huge punch but fires at the slowest rate.
  • Fire Tower - Great damage, Splash damage and slow fire speed
Combo Tower
  • The best tower in the game. It's fast, it's splash and it hurts.
Each time you kill a monster you are awarded gold. You purchase the different towers with the gold you earn. Every seven levels you get 1 wood. You use the wood to enable the building of Combo Towers and Elemental Towers. And thats pretty much it.

There is a score board below the game that constantly updates of other players score. Play to compete!

We really enjoyed this game and hope you do just as much as we did.
