Gameplay

Over 7 defense tower types can be purchased by dragging and dropping them onto the map. Amount of dollars earned are dependent on which enemies are destroyed. Later levels include the new addition of vortex towers that can be linked to defense towers that increase damage.

Stages

The game has three difficulty settings with 10 levels each. Each level consists of several waves of enemies attempting to make it across each map. Maps vary across stages and include preset obstacles and pathways that can either impede or increase enemies speed.

Downloadable content levels were released that include 5 new medium levels and 6 new hard levels.

Production and updates

The game has evolved from the original and is available on the iPhone and iPod Touch.[1]

On August 19, 2009, Critical Thought Games released a bug fix update.

"I've been holding my breath for the last several weeks as Geo-Defense Swarm went through the review process - and now it's out!", said David Whatley, CEO of Critical Thought Games.[2]
