[quote name="Flavio"]Even better approach: have your maze converge the side entrances to the middle (where all your big guns are) then fork it to the bottom and right sides. Have one side blocked off. When the enemies are about to reach the end of one side, sell a turret to unblock the opposite side then block the other. The enemies will all turn around and have to work their way all the way back. If you're good enough you can keep all non-flying enemies on screen indefinitely. That may be where dart towers come in. I used to think they were worthless past level 25, but when you figure you can keep any amount of enemies in your maze and you click the "next wave" button for max points, they come into play. Squirt cannons can be overwhelmed, but darts do more damage the more enemies there are. Though darts are completely worthless against bosses and air, so I'm not decided yet. But yeah upgraded pellet towers aren't worth it. The huge range is pointless because you should be keeping enemies herded or frozen in the center near your squirts for as long as possible. I also don't think level 5 swarm towers are worth it. You end up doing 1 damage for every 2 gold compared to 1 for 1 at level 4. I haven't noticed any major splash damage effects from level 5 either. Upgrading your one swarm tower in the center once per wave works fine up until the last wave when you'll probably want about 3-4 level 4's. You should also probably concede that the air bosses will get through no matter what.[/quote]
