Desktop Tower Defense is a great game by Paul Preece that we reviewed here previously. Since Preece joined forces with Dave Scott, the creator of Flash Element TD (and Flash Circle TD and Vector TD), they’ve been working on a multiplayer Flash gaming site call The Casual Collective.

The Casual Collective is out of beta and running on an invite-only basis. Once in the system, you can invite others to join your collective. TCC appears to be adding the social element to casual gaming, with groups, collectives, etc.

Boomshine is a nice little online Flash game from K2xL. The goal is to catch floating dots in the blooms of other exploding dots through twelve levels.

Yet another Flash-based Tower Defense game, this time from Paul Preece of Hand Drawn Games. Perhaps a little confusing, “Desktop” refers to the background image in the game, not that you download it and play on your Windows (or Mac or Linux) Desktop.

There are four difficulty levels available: easy, normal, hard, and challenge. Scores in the Easy level are not saved. Challenge levels include a speed level and a few where various tower types are unavailable.
