Shnazz Tower Defense (ShnazzTD) is a game of strategy in several aspects; tower placement, tower upgrades, and cash flow.
ShnazzTD is not a game with a story line, or even music, it was developed to get players to try and find the best way to
beat it (which there can be many).
For those who have never played a tower defense game before the goal of the game is to kill all the enemies before they
reach the end of the maze over multiple levels without loosing all your lives. Each individual maze has a different and
unique path which enemies travel along. Using towers the player must place, enemies are killed before they reach the end.
At the end of every wave a boss enemy is spawned with a larger amount of life that is valued that is worth bonus points.
The Basics
At the start of a game players can choose the map, game mode and difficulty, or just hit close and play the default level
and difficulty.
Once in the game every menu can be closed! At the bottom right is your menu of towers to build. Hover over them to see
a description of each tower and click on them to place one. Once a tower is placed you will see a new box open with tower
information. This allows you to upgrade the tower level and add advanced tower features to each tower.
On the top right is the main menu. From here you can exit the game, start a new game, restart your current game, and more.
