One word, ICE. You can beat the first 20 levels with less than 6 towers if you use and upgrade the ICE towers correctly. Build ICE as soon as possible, mix with some level 2 cannons early on and then you're off to the high interest collecting heavens. First halo goes to ice, next 4 should go to interest and always upgrade exisiting towers vs buy new ones. Levels 12-20 should be completed with out hardly buying anything new. ICE ICE ICE!

What if the towers can be placed to another spot?

frank i saw the same thing...even though it says 10, it is still giving you 15% or whatever you have gotten up to (at least 15% because that is all i have used). you can check the math when the end of level screen pops up

I've spent 6 halos for higher interest rates, but it still stays in 10%.
any help?

For a R1.0, it's pretty darn good. Evidence enough is the amount of time I've spent trying to beat the easy mode, and after not being able to get past 31, I admit resorting to rhaining's website. Trying to follow the breadcrumb tips doesn't seem to be a good strategy, at least not for a few of us.

On my iPhone 3G, this is a battery killer so I need to play it teathered if I want to go at it for a more than 90 minutes. This is not a compaint, just an observation.

wow, after finishing easy level, which was a steep learning curve, i did medium on my first try
anyways, to reiterate easy: stick 1 or 2 arrow towers on the top right and bottom left loops, and concentrate all your cannons+ices in the middle left and middle right areas between the two path parts. this doubles your exposure to long enemy trains. don't level up ice till the end when you got more $$, but level up arrows and cannons.
research interest 3x before anything else. and don't buy anything you don't need. you get reaearch halos at levels 7,10,11,14,21,25,28,33,36. the first 6 go to interest. level 28 is for ice towers, at which point you'll buy a whole bunch (with all the money you should have saved).
you can bypass magic and get storm next (level 34), at which point you put a couple at the beginning of the path(maxed). by now you can max out your ices too. after level 34 i didn't even need to build or level up, and the money was piling up. you'll end up with like $80,000+.

Chris, riceman, et. al.: I've got some detailed strategies for getting past level 30, here:

http://web.me.com/rhaining/TapDefense_Strategy/Welcome.html

If people are interested, I may add an analysis page to explain why some strategies work better than others. (e.g., it's better to spread out your towers rather than group them, so you don't overkill the same monster and waste power).

i am really obsessed with this game. i dont want to think of life before i found this game... it was dark.. and now there is light... this game is awesome. i cannot pass level 30 on easy LOL but i have never used the earthquake option either so i will try that out...

if there is a way you can have it save once you reach a certain level or something that would be great cuz it sucks having to start all over from level 1... the first 10 levels are so easy they need to be skipped once you have defeated them.

anyways great game... change the "SELL" button i almost threw my iphone after pressing it once...... ok thanks again for this game!

oh ya.. when you dont touch the screen.. it dims... when you go back to touch it again it seems to be dimmer than it was before it dimmed... idk if this is common or what but ya... bugsss

Nice write-up!

I've started a strategy guide for TapDefense here: http://web.me.com/rhaining/TapDefense_Strategy/Welcome.html .

1) ignore the "loops" at the top right and bottom left. the best places to put towers is actually in the areas between two long sections of path so that you can have 2 exposures to a long train of enemies as opposed to 1 longer exposure.
2) save as much money as possible. if your last few towers are continuously unused, you've spent too much and those funds could have been in the 'bank' earning interest.
3) go for the interest researches first
