As the commander of the Defense Space Station, respond to distress calls and travel from planet to planet using your powerful arsenal to buy enough time to complete each mission. With the unique objective based system, Spoids offers a challenge for all levels of ability. There are hours of gameplay including the story missions, unlimited wave mode, four medals to unlock at each planet, and a host of enemy and weapon types to master. Each mission is completely voice acted by a set of memorable characters that need your help. Can you stop the Spoids? Spoids has already released under the Xbox Live Indie Games section to much praise. It is ranked in the top 5% of all games on the XBLIG market based on user ratings. Here are some quotes from reviews online: "One of the most polished looking games on the market. [XBLIG]" - Indie Gamer Chick "A well-designed and fun game, worth playing for any strategy aficionado." - Indie Game Magazine

Nothing I enjoy more than a well built tower defense game, and this sir is definitely a good one. A++

And that's it...survived the last level (loved the way there's no timer, really didn't think I was going to make it).

Any plans for more levels? I'd definitely be happy to pay for an expansion?

Loving this game - a great tower defence game and many of the towers feel different to the "standard" set you get.

Just one point - I've seen a couple of messages about pressing a key (fast forward and show flightpath) but it doesn't say which key it is and I can't find anything in the options to see / change what the key bindings are.

It should show in the video screen that plays next to the message. I wonder if the game is not showing the videos because of specific codecs you may have installed.

But L-Shift should show the flight paths and L-Ctrl or middle mouse button should speed up the game.

Ah yes - I missed that as I tend to read the text. To be honest even with your pointer I nearly missed it. Worth adding the key's to the text too I think.

Slick game. It's really, really hard though, hard as your mom's boiled spuds. Probably not recommended as your first TD game - you'll wake up dazed, battered, and bruised (like what happened when your mom caught you messing with the guinea pig).

Only played a few levels, but there doesn't seem to be any maze building or juggling (thumbs up). There's no meta game; it's just a list of levels to click and play (thumbs down). It doesn't seem to innovate in any way; it's just a standard TD (thumbs down). But it is smooth and frantic and cheap (like your mom), so all you TD fans should probably get it.

Come back when you're older, Luke. Your synopsis would have been okay had you not ruined it with your... *ahem*, "humor". Don't speak like this to anybody, ever again.

Anybody in real life who would so much as chuckle to this is only doing so to avoid making you feel awkward and stupid, and anybody outside of your social clique who has heard your "jokes" more than likely has formed a very low opinion of you.

This game is definitely something that needs to be played. It is very refined and the controls are smooth. The only thing that would make it better is if they had a mobile version for iOS or Android so I can play it on the go. Keep up the good work and I hope you make more games.
