Wave 50...

What strategy are you employing, Isaac?

Currently I open the console and type:
SET.gold = Infinity
:P
However, I only do this once it's clear I'm loosing.

The game literally has no ending. I will try to beat your level 50 with out cheating.

edit:
My real strategy,
1. build 4 missile towers in a group (these upgrade the best for a while..)
2. build a maze of lazes up to the missile towers.

Another is building one cannon next to the exit and devote all resources into its upgrades (its rate of fire speeds up for each upgrade) Once its too expensive to keep upgrading I start building a labyrinth around it. I think selling the labyrinth off might get me enough to upgrade to a higher level.

How to declare a win(?):
The closest situation to a win is a cannon tower, which has spread damage, right next to the entrance, with enough upgrades to kill anything before entering. Once the cannon is leveled up high enough no more upgrades are needed. So far, I think this is impossible with out cheating. If you can get it, I will be mad at myself.

edit:
also, I play the same version as a downloaded chrome browser app. It plays with no internet connection. I also have angry birds, which is also free for some reason.

Cheater!

I downloaded the page and now have offline capabilities.

I think getting to 50 was a matter of luck. I made a maze of the whole map using lasers, and placed missiles on the high points and the power spots. After that, I exclusively upgraded the missiles on the power towers, and hoped that I wouldn't get flying buggers, because they would survive the direct flight. Via the maze, each guy would get pounded by super-upgraded missiles. I got no flying guys for a while, and finally got overwhelmed at 50.

You have to use your money efficiently, so don't make anything that you will later sell, because you take a huge loss. I should check out the numbers, and see what gives you the most dmg/$... upgrading equally, or exclusively upgrading one or two turrets.

Ok. Made it to 50 but I lost footing very quickly.

I started with only 4 Gattling towers. Upgraded one at a time to $1000 upgrades and stopped around there. Then I upgrade each one at a time according to priority. Once a few started slipping through I had to start building walls with lasers, but it didn't help much.

Haven't made it to 50 again. I wonder what the best is that anyone has done... I think 50 starts getting to the point where you're at the mercy of what pops up.

I made it to 50 again. I started with a Gattling tower and upgraded it to about $1000 upgrades. Then I invested in a Missile turret until about $1000. I placed a laser on all red squares that the creeps crossed on route. Then I upgraded the missile and gattling, taking turns. I lost footing at wave 50.

Any luck making it to 51?
