Creepts Tower Defense
First Fully Decentralized Tower Defense DApp
Gameplay
Types of Towers
TURRET
Fires a round ball which travels over the enemy force to hit the specific enemy at which it is aimed.
TURRET
Two barrels mounted on a single tower. Its effect is identical to the level 1, except that it can attain a higher rate of fire, and each slug may inflict more damage to the enemy.
TURRET
Incredibly high rate of fire, and its projectiles are capable of inflicting massive damage to the enemy.
Laser
Fire their beam over the top of the enemy force to hit the specific enemy at which it is aimed.
Laser
Lasers fired from these towers will "bounce" from the targeted enemy to up to four more enemies, inflicting damage on all of them.
Laser
Fire a concentrated energy beam directly at an enemy target. The beam will inflict damage upon any enemy that it passes through in the way to/through its intended target.
Cannon
Mortars are thrown high into the air and explode upon contact with the ground. Cannon Towers are slightly inaccurate.
Cannon
Mines are devices which detonate only upon contact with the enemy. Mine Towers will launch mines even if there are no enemies present.
Cannon
Lock onto a specific enemy and fire a rocket which will seek only that enemy which the tower is tracking.
Blast
Spill glue onto the path. Enemies are slowed by the glue as they attempt to pass through it. Flying units are not affected.
Blast
Squirt glue at individual enemies. Snot Rockets are stickier and last longer than normal glue.
Blast
This are not true glue towers, as they do not actually use glue. Instead, it will capture enemies and teleport them back towards the beginning of the path.
