Colony Defense released on Xbox Live Indie Games yesterday and XBLA Ratings grabbed Dan Weatherman the game's programmer to get some details. Thanks to Dan, and all of Mana Bomb, for taking time to answer some questions for XBLA Ratings.
Yes, I know it's spelt the American way with an 'S' instead of a 'C', but if you're an alien then it really makes little difference. And speaking of aliens, it looks like our cosmic cousins are once again hell bent on destroying everything Human, in this particular case it's our colonies on distant and seemingly boring looking planets. Why the Human race would want to go to all that trouble to inhabit a large group of dead, floating, lumps of rock is completely beyond me, but then it wouldn't make much of a game, would it?
GameVortex: There is nothing wrong with putting a new spin on an established game type. I mean what I say literally, when I say a new spin. Colony Defense may seem exactly like all of the other tower defense games you have seen in the past, but the control scheme and play differences make it unique enough to keep it from drifting into obscurity. This has a very easy price point and is a must play for anyone who loves defense games.
Ironhammers writes - A relatively small release, with a rather large idea; with Colony Defense, Mana Bomb Games Studio have put a nice twist on what we have come to name "tower defense games".
