Hasta La Gadget!

At the end of a long day, there’s nothing more gratifying than watching hordes of aliens fall victim to your laser cannons and missile turrets. What the hell am I talking about? TowerMadness, a tower-defense strategy game for iPhone that should remind you just a tiny bit of StarCraft.

The objective is to defend your flock of sheep from aliens, cockroaches and other strange creatures hell bent on abducting your woolly friends. You do so by building towers containing laser cannons, grenade mortars, missile turrets and other weapons to defeat the invaders; each kill gets you a few dollars. The strategy lies in how you arrange these towers, when to build them and what weapons you decide to buy.

It’s pretty damn addictive and fun after you get good at it. The full game costs $3; a free version, Tower Madness Lite, is also available in the App Store.
