I'd also like to know.

Another good question. Although you do get extra points by sending in the next wave early, there must be another way.

Maybe those big boss flyers at the end give a few K?

Edit:

Mantra: I will not play it again, I will not play it again, I will not play it again, I will not ..

.. maybe just one more try.

I have 2 max level swarm tower at the middle and its enough. The color green at the center.

Yes I usually send the next wave on normal enemies.
I was able to kill everything thats why my life left is still 20.

I think what adds the score is the total gold left. I remember I had 1000+ gold left and my current score is still 4.9k and after that it became 5.9k

If you push wave early you get 2pts for every second, consider the area effect weapons like freeze and you can push (at the very least) the two normal waves and the group wave right after the flyers on one hit and hit them all at once

freeze also slows the flyers to be able to shoot them down

to get the really high scores (I have not managed you need to push very early and "juggle" waves by opening new holes and closing the current exist forcing them to come back through the maze, juggling is not so fun in my opinion

check out the mazes on the high score lists and you can see they sometimes have two exists with one blocked and they open them one at a time. Also check youtube and you can see some people getting high scores

We should have a playoff with the other basics!

PB vs blits vs powerb vs darkb etc

Oh, and gold left over doesn't have an effect on score, think in this version there is a very slight penalty for selling towers so be conservative in that sense.

The points you see when you kill something is the amount of points and gold you receive.

SO...

Score = (Gold Earned) + (Seconds levels are sent early x 2) + (Lives Remaining x 25)

There is a penalty in selling the towers. I tried selling all my upgraded towers but it didnt add any gold points.

Air defence only. But potent, especially at top level.

Other potent weapons:

Maxed dart has a great splash or spatter effect. Fired into a cluster it does a lot of damage. Plus it has range.

Snipers (maxed pellets) are cheap and have range. Three of them cost not much more than one maxed squirter, shoot further and do more damage. But slower.

The bash at max stuns and damages. About 1 in 5 times the little beggers get all in a dither and twitch about in place for quite a while. Bash with a couple of heavy hitters nearby can then cause havoc.

Freeze slows things.

I try to funnel the beggers into a killing ground in the center.

My problem is now that I can ramp up air defence and get the two boss flyers at the end - but then creeps get through as I relaxed on maxing other types

Noticed the sell-rebuy move but it seems like cheating to make the little beggers change direction all the time.

One more go .... 8k target ... last time, I promise myself.

Good news, I shot down both plane bosses
Bad news, lost 12 lives at the same time because I hadn't built up the squirters.

Just one more go, that's all I'm having. (Then maybe another and then just one more cuz I have lots to do.)

At first it was mildly amusing

then I noticed time was slipping away

then it started to annoy me

then there was a sense of loss at the time wasted

then I started to realise it was actually fun and worth the time

then I embrassed the game

Then I REALLY started wasting time on it

... then ...

I'm under controll now, but it's been about a month or so

Now I'm inflicting it on others
