The aliens start pouring out of the crop circles and you are slamming alien-killing machines down as fast as you can, zapping aliens with your zap gun if they just won’t die, keeping an eye on your cows so they don’t get sucked up into the space ship and making sure you hit that alien demolition expert with a bomb before he demolishes your most expensive machine.Ĭhoose the machines you think will be most effective in defending your livestock, make sure you have enough cog factories to produce the number of cogs you’ll need to build more machines, keep your alien zapper gun at hand so you’ve got something to shoot with, and work fast, fast, fast as there are more aliens coming soon. The level starts, and Barney gives you a new machine. Your buddy, Barney, is locked in the outhouse inventing more and more unusual machines that, if used in the correct spot and at the right time, will kill enough aliens to save your cows. So, when I talk about Beware Planet Earth being the ‘best tower defense game of the year’, I’m obviously meaning the 2012-2013 year ( see how I got around that?) What is Beware Planet Earth?īeware Planet Earth is a tower defense game in which you are the guy zapping the aliens who are using crop circles to enter your fields and steal your cows. Yep, I’m almost a whole year behind with Beware Planet Earth as, even though it was released in 2012, I only grabbed it from Indie Game Stand a few weeks ago, which is why I’m just getting around to writing a review on it.
