GeoDefense Swarm - Easy Level 10 (Ouroboros)



GeoDefense Swarm - Easy Level 10 (Ouroboros)

Easy Level 10 is the first endless level. I was interested to see what the maximum level is if you don't use juggling (ie alternately opening and closing a path to force the creeps to keep cycling past the turrets).

Using just missiles I was able to get to level 105 without losing a life. You need to initially lay out the path using gun turrets. Once the path is complete, upgrade the guns as quickly as possible to level 6, then start progressively replacing them with missiles. Eventually the map will be chockers with missiles upgraded to level 7. Much past level 105 you will start to leak creeps so I switched to lasers on the straights. This allowed me to reach 127. I would be interested if anyone can do better than that without juggling.

  1. Got a bit further, up to level 132, using just 2 lasers (in the bottom left and top right corners) and 4 thumpers in the middle :-)

  2. I also had a go with 5 thumpers (the 5th one placed on the far left, just above the first solid hex). That way it could thump the creeps as they came out of the entrance and also as they came out of the middle. I got a slightly higher score that way but still lost on level 132.

  3. Nice work - I'll have a go and see if I can replicate your solution.

    Cheers

  4. Another tip to help you guys... I use same strategy (only made level 123, accidently leaked some way early on). In the bottom right, there should be a few photon cannons or whatever you got there that if you delete one then all the creeps will back track through the middle to get to the exit faster. Well on the hard guys (yellow peanut looking creeps) i wait for them to get through the middle part almost, delete the photon cannon so that they turn around and go back through the middle, then i rebuild it. This little trick might help you get a few more levels?? Hope it helps

    Also, I had 7 thumpers. not sure if thats good or bad

  5. oh.. rebuild the photon cannon before the creeps get there obviously so that they turn around a second time!

  6. Got to wave 118 with a very different strategy, is it worth upgrading missles to lvl 7 or is the speed you get at lvl6 better?

  7. I can't get past level 45 using this strategy. Is there a certain order in which you have to trade in the level 6 greens for reds?

  8. I laid down the path with greens, and started placing reds. I placed a red and leveled it up to 6, and then placed another red, and so forth. I also deleted the greens and placed new reds on their places.

    When all my reds where at level 6, I upgraded half of them to level 7, and only then I started missing creeps.

    I got to level 117.
