The game itself is pretty short with only 8 Levels to play. After completing each level you will be graded using different medals (Bronze-Silver-Gold-Platinum). The first levels are easy but the challenge comes in obtaining higher rated medals. The highest medal I got was gold and the rest are either bronze or Silver. You cannot upgrade towers and only get a new one on every stage. Striving for Platinum in every stage is the best challenge for you.

The time given to you before the start of the round is more than enough to plan where to place your turrets. You can also setup what your turrets can do. You can choose whether to attack the nearest target, the weakest, strongest, closes to the entrance/exit. This custom targeting setup can give you an advantage depending on how you use it since the default targeting setup is a little boring.

Pros:
  • Decent Graphics
  • Well Designed Maps
  • Smooth Gameplay
  • No Bugs
  • Balanced Tower and Enemies
  • Has Endless Mode
  • Low Price
Cons:
  • Only has 8 Levels
  • No tower upgrades
  • Some levels are too easy




Overall I would recommend Spoid to anyone wanting to play a decent tower defense game. This game also provides a decent challenge to the player. Even though it only has 8 levels it proves to be a game to try and it is worth trying out.
