Fave TD & Time Management game

[juubee]

Just wanted to see which game is most popular here at TMA.

List your favorite tower defense game and time management game.



Update:
My favorite TD game is now THE CREEPS! Pretty awesome. I can't believe I didn't get it sooner.

In TD the absolute champ is of course Defender Chronicles (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=Nnch0KL7KTA&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fu s%252Fapp%252Fdefender-chronicles-legend-the%252Fid318339007%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526 partnerId%253D30) - and kudos to the developers for adding more and more content in each update.

My runners up would be Fieldrunners (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=Nnch0KL7KTA&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fu s%252Fapp%252Ffieldrunners%252Fid292421271%253Fmt% 253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30), 7 Cities TD (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=Nnch0KL7KTA&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fu s%252Fapp%252F7-cities%252Fid299605743%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2 526partnerId%253D30) and the recent Space Station: Frontier (http://www.touchmyapps.com/2010/01/18/space-station-frontier-in-review/)

Favorite TD : geoDefense, havent got time to rock Swarm yet but I heard its good

Favorite Time Management: Airport mania? Dont really like the genre on the whole.

[mattll]

i really like bloons td
and for the time management the gta: cw drug selling ;)

[RustySabre]

For TD I'd have to agree about Defender Chronicles, mainly because it doesn't feel so much like a TD game :)

For time management I think I'd say Turbo Subs. Of course a big reason for that is because it reminds me a lot of Cake Mania, but I don't own the iPhone version of that game, so...

Top Faves on my iPod Touch 2G :


FAVE TD : Tap Defense (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tapdefense/id297558390?mt=8) (Love playing this game - day or night)

Fave Time Management : Red Sky (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/red-sky/id297462304?mt=8) (not very sure if this App falls under this Category).

I have Fieldrunners, TriDefense and The Creeps installed. At the moment Creeps gets most playtime of the 3.

Don't go for the time management stuff. I do have to manage my time in TouchPet Dogs so my dogs can survive and grow on only free food though ;)

[SteveNaka]

I'm big on Origin8 games for TD...don't play much time management atm

[enuhski]

i love both genres, so here's my short list:

time management games
- hospital havoc: this is a really crazy game, but it's perfect if you want a really challenging TM game
- cooking dash: still one of my all-time favorites
- a-yo sushi master: strictly speaking, it's not purely a TM game, it's more of RPG/sim but i love the part where i prepare sushi & serving them to customers
- miriel the magical merchant: pretty nice and not that easy!
- bar rush (unlimited): it's pretty complex but i like the crash course on bartending 101
- shot bar: similar to bar rush but i like the accelerometer controls to literally pour drinks

tower defense/RTS:
- the creeps: still the cutest
- space station frontier: an amazing and different TD game
- moonlight minions: mostly for the gorgeous graphics, as for the level of difficulty it's not that hard
- battle zone: nuclear bomb : pretty straightforward with self-upgrading towers and the option to create your own paths like fieldrunners
- ninja TD: gorgeous, amazing and i like the gameplay a lot - it's a bit more complicated than the usual. only problem is, i started out with the free version which was in endless mode. i found it hard to go back to the story-based mode because i was used to playing the game with all the weapons/abilities/speical powers unlocked in endless mode.

TD: Fieldrunners, Kill All Bugs, and Sentinel: Mars Defense
Time Management: Car Mania (is this time management)

[OTGGamer]

TD
Fleeced!
Fieldrunners
Knight's Onrush
Battle of Puppets (Are games like BOP and The Wars and Trenches considered Castle Defense or is this a separate genre?)

Time Management
Lion Pride (I guess this is sort of time management)
Sea Captain's nighttime mode is really fun
Cooking Dash

[juubee]

^ Well, good think Lion Pride went free yesterday so I can try that out. It looked interesting from the screenshots, and I'm always looking for better time management games.

I wonder if TMA has any for the daily giveaway :D

[RustySabre]

I wouldn't qualify Lion Pride so much as a "time" management game but maybe more of a "space" management (and if you've not seen that term before, than it belongs to me :) ) To me "time" management games rely on you having to please one or more game elements before they get frustrated and leave the game. In games like Lion Pride and Flight Control, while there is a "timing" issue, the focus of the game is getting all objects to a certain space without running into other objects. I would consider that two different types of game. But then, that's just me!

[juubee]

^ I just played it! I see what you mean. I do still prefer time management games more :D

I'm tempted to get Cooking Dash & Turbo Subs.. but I don't know yet.
It worries me that Turbo Subs hasn't updated in a long time though.

If you like Cake Mania, you'll like Turbo Subs. If you've never played Cake Mania, you should :) Actually, I've only played it on the Palm and DS, not the iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone version is like (for Cake Mania). Regardless, Turbo Subs was a lot of fun. Here's a link to a review I wrote of the game: http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/328/turbo-subs-makin-sandwiches-high-speed

I didn't get it cause I was looking at the app store reviews and some said it wasn't challenging enough and others seemed to have issues with it or whatnot. But I'll check out your review and re-decide :)


I wanted to get Cake Mania too but don't really wanna fork out $5 ahhaha :x

[Thunderclaw]

My favorite Tower Defense games are Fieldrunners, The Creeps! and League of Legends.
Not sure about Time Management.

[Northstreamer]

My favourite TD is probably Fieldrunners. I don't like Time Management games but if I have to choose one, Cooking Dash.
