Critters Does It Again

David Scott, a.k.a. Critters, is the author of Flash Element TD and Flash Circle TD has released another online Flash based Tower Defense game. This time it’s called Vector TD.

Vector TD

The latest Critters game revisits familiar territory. There’s a maze. There are creeps. There are various towers with upgrades. There’s an interest component. Only this time it’s a vector graphics look. If Disney wouldn’t sue, it could be called Tron TD.

High Points

Frankly, what’s good about Vector TD is what’s good about all the tower defense games. Building towers and trying to finish all the levels.

Additionally, there are several maps from which to choose, instead of just one.

Low Points

Vector TD suffers from being a rehash of Scott’s earlier works without adding much new. Nothing wrong with milking a cow that gives golden milk, especially if you’ve already agreed to milk the cow for a bit longer. On the other hand, it would be nice to see something new.

There also appear to be some bugs. The Auto checkbox can be set, but not unset. And, after completing 50 levels, it congratulates you for completing all 40 of 50 levels. Uh, what? Critters is good at fixing bugs, so that will probably clear up soon.

Conclusion

Minor bugs aside, Vector TD is an enjoyable game that isn’t too difficult to complete, at least on the easy levels. One expects a little more than the same old tower defense game, but as TD games go, this one is the most Tron-like, except there are no light cycles.
