I have finally finished Desktop Tower Defense’s 1.9 “10K challenge”.  This took me literally months to build up the skills required, and the final game took several hours spread out over the course of a week.

Here I am, having just defeated the deadly Level 91 flying creep wave while still having all 20 lives intact.  This was the first time I’d ever managed to do this, and likely the key to my eventual success.

Whelp, I survived the insanity of level 98 and 99… barely.  Since there were no more flier waves to come, I could sell off all of my anti-aircraft defense and focus all of my resources on bash towers.

The trick now is to keep on juggling your creeps until they fall from attrition.  I re-used the centre space, and installed a “pressure valve” in the form of the top centre pellet tower.  This allowed re-balancing if the stream of creeps got too spread out.

OMFG.  I am I actually doing to do this.  Only one more creep remaining, the deadly armoured creep.

SUCCESS.  This is the cumulation of months of determination and hard work.  I actually devised a spreadsheet to compute the maximum damage and cost effectiveness of the anti-aircraft towers and boost towers.  I was ridiculed and told it could never be done.  But here I am.  The victor.
