Bubble Tanks Tower Defense

From Hero Interactive, the makers of Bubble Tanks. This is probably the most fun tower defense game I've ever played. Everything except the arena is made of bubbles. The enemies come in traditional flavors (basic, fast&weak, slow&tough, fliers, regenerators, splitters, spawners) and have boss-level equivalents.

The towers are great. In most tower games, you lay down various types of towers and just make them stronger. Here, there is only one type of initial tower: generic shooter. You upgrade it with extra bubbles to make it into other things: stronger generic, area-of-effect shockwave, "ghost" (anti-air), or buffer. From there you can further specialize it. For instance, a lvl2 generic tower has three other paths: lvl3 generic, rapid-fire, or ranged splash. All towers can reach a maximum of lvl4.

If you have four lvl4 towers in a 2x2 box formation you can combine them into a single "mega" tower, which will have various abilities based on its compositional units. Three lvl4 +damage towers and a lvl4 machinegun make a gigantic powerful machinegun. You can also combine four mega towers into a double mega tower, but I have not yet done that.

Multiple arenas are also interesting. The enemies follow a traditional horizontal or vertical paths, or both for a "cross" shaped arena, diagonal, both diagonals "X" arena, or they come from the same place and go in different directions, or start in different places and go to the same exit. Very well made, lots of variety, and easy listening music.
