Cats VS Ghosts

Small and simple tower defense game in which you place kitties rather than towers. The goal is to protect a child from ghost through 12 missions that must be completed in order. Each level has a limited amount of area available for unit placement. Aside from the cat, which makes money, there are six units that attack either ground or air units, or both. A unit can be upgraded three times. The good news is that upgrades are always the same price and do not increase for the highest tiers. Upgrades improve the attack speed and damage of the unit, as well as the amount of money generated per second for the money unit. There are air units, but they follow the same path as the ground units, so there are no surprises. The same is true for invisible troops, because a single, fully upgraded detecting unit can cover a lot of ground. The game is not hard because it is extremely simple to earn money. If you concentrate on a few money generators, you'll have no issue beating stages.

I'll be honest, this is a tepid thumbs up. Everything works, but there really isn't anything exciting here. It's missing a lot of basic features I have come to expect from a TD game, no target prioritizing, no tactical options, no strategic upgrades, zero fluff, no way to speed up the game. Also nothing in the way of pathing. But the assets are cute, and there are a few different tower types, even if upgrades are a boring straight three. I was thinking it might be a good option for kids, a way to get into the genre. And as I said, the cats are cute. One thumb up, I think I paid 99cents, that's about right. ADDENDUM: 98 minutes from start to sick of it. It does get pretty hard, but bonus, you don't have to defeat a level to get the next one. While on that, only 12 levels.
