I'm stuck on bonus level 3 as well.

I use just cannons with three air towers until level 21 when I get fire towers then I build just those. All of my cannons are upgraded, and I have tried both building fewer fire towers and upgrading them as much as I can as well as building lots of them with few upgrades. The end result has been the same for me.
 
i got to the last round but only had one life left so was creamed, but my score was a little under 5000 🙁
how are people getting so many points?

I cleared all levels by using the same upgrade path, scored 16k. There's some room for a higher score using the same strat, but I don't know if it could get to 20k.

i tried that and by the time i maxed out my fire towers, i was in bonus lvl 2 and got owned.
 
I got to the 4th or 5th bonus level ("How Are you Still Alive"). The key, I think, is to build as little as possible early and earn interest on your money (someone's prob pointed this out already). At the end, I had two fully-upgraded water towers and 10 fire towers, 8 of which were fully upgraded. Fun game.
 
I got to the bonus level when it said "how are you still alive?" The monsters had a HP of 20000. I had the whole board filled with Fire Towers and combo towers, and I still couldn't kill all of those creatures.

Same. But I had 6 of the combo towers and still got reamed.
 
I think the key to bonus level 4 is getting the combo towers. 2000HP per shot and fire faster when upgraded. 5 of them would kill a bonus level 4 creep in 2 shots.

There are only 30 levels so far so once you beat level 30 you just go by your high score

Two types of creature, air and ground, and towers either hit one or both and some do splash damage


On my third run I had 8130 gold and 9827

My strat:

Buy nothing but cannons for the first few levels. You only need one for the first level! At the first upgrade, get the fire tower upgrade and sell the cannons (except maybe one). One fire tower can get you through the first air level. Buy only fire towers and upgrades until level 28 or 31 (see below).

Remember a BIG part of the strat is to spend as little as possible. Ideally, you'll just barely clear each level. Pretty easy to judge what you need for most levels (sometimes you don't need to buy anything) until you get to a fast level, then you've got to beef things up. Air and immune levels are irrelevant since you've got all fire towers anyway.

Get the interest upgrades at 14 and 21. Get the water upgrade at 28, but only build one or none until you get to the first bonus level.

For the first bonus level, get 1-2 waters. You only need about 10 fire towers to get through the first bonus level. Quite a few more to get through the last one. The last level isn't hard per se, it's just hard to know how many fire towers you'll need (it's a lot though).

As for spacing, I don't think this game gives as big of a bonus for proximity as the other one. I've been concentrating my towers in the top middle portion. That way they (the fire towers) get three chances to shoot. This also minimizes the number of water towers needed in the "end game" to keep the creeps slow while the fire towers kill them. There might be better places to put them, but I don't know where.
 
14,982

but i was 1 kill from finishing the level and with interest that would have put me up to nearly 18,000 , bummer!


Im not seeing how people get the 30k scores
 
I just had a thought. By level 28, you can have a 30% interest rate, right? And selling off a tower nets you back 75% of your orginal price. Why not sell off all the towers you can before the end of 29 and 30 and then by them back? It's a 5% profit each time.
 
I just have arrow towers and fire towers. I managed to beat lvl 30 on the 2nd try. Almost made it to end of Bonus 2. Should have used more arrow towers. Too many creeps with barely any life slipped by.

This is pretty much the same strategy I've been using, but I haven't bothered with the water towers, which may be why I can't quite beat bonus level 5.

One question I have is whether the L4 fire upgrade is really worth it. You pay $150 to get 100 more damage, which is a much worse return than the previous fire upgrades. It really depends on how much "larger" it makes the splash damage radius.
 
I managed to just barely beat level 4, but that's because I screwed up earlier and didn't optimize my tower building. If I had optimized my interest building I might have a chance in level 5.
