Gem Tower Defense

Addicting! But very time consuming, so plan on having at least half an hour per game.

Here is my highest score thus far in "Survival". Survival goes on forever, the others eventually end. I think the easy one has like 43 levels or something.

Don't forget to scroll down and plan out your towers! I'll tell you right now, that's how you win right there. Plan for and build towers and upgrade them as often as you can while juggling with upgrading your chances. Also, if you need more lives, click your lives and it'll pop up a buying chart which is like 1 life for 10 gold or 5 lives for 50 gold.

The Silver Towers are amazing fully upgraded. They give like over 200 attack in both air and ground. The one I have highlighted are good for air, but I don't plan on building them since they only attack air. If those had been air/ground towers I might have not lost that round. T_T

My new High Score via Extreme mode. Game Time: Approximately 27 minutes. Okay, so it doesn't take anywhere near an hour like I thought. But dammit, half an hour sure feels like an hour! lol

Survival is so much harder than the rest for some reason. Who cares if it goes on forever, play Extreme since you won't get to the end anyways. lol

By the way, I learned a new trick. Don't upgrade your chances at all. Just keep building the green and silver towers which only require the first level of gems to make, they're basically the best anyways. Save up your money and upgrade the towers as you get them. If you have a choice and no choice of making a tower, go for poison or ice as they slow baddies down. The tiny amount of damage the crystals will do aren't even worth it, but that little bit of slowing down will help your green and silver towers do more damage.

Ummm, so am I missing something or do you not actually get to pick the gems you get? it seems like it just gives me a random gem every time I put stuff down, then I can only pick one of those to keep (and the rest turn to stone).

I play warzone tower defense on facebook. just as addicting, same concept, but with guns and lasers instead of gems lol

Scroll down and look at the gem combination's. You have to plan things out, but yea, its all random. Use the stone's to build mazes, like in my pictures for example.

I dare anyone of you to beat that score! Just check out all those sexy fully upgraded towers. Oh yeah. lol

I only lost because I didn't make my maze nearly intricate and complex enough. oh well.

so good gem towers are just luck?
