Reverse Tower Defense Game Where YOU Send the Monsters!

- Tower Escape Part 1 - this is the first TRUE reverse tower defense game I've ever seen. It's really creative and a lot of fun! My favorite part of PvP tower defense is rushing, so it's nice to have a game that's entirely that... though I also wish it were PvP.

Imagine this but with another player placing towers every round, that would be super chaotic and fun
I present to you
Bloons TD Battles 1&2
Kinda but it is different as in bloons your both defending
This actually exists, it's a pretty obscure minigame on plants vs zombies console edition (PS3 at least has it) it's very interesting!
@@spaghettiwithink DAMN IT YOU SAID WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY (original concept for my message: “Bloons TD Battles. You literally just described Bloons TD Battles.”)
22:21 seconds in currently and he actually mentions the same thing
Now you are the Bloons
We could just do this too but IRL and government funded
There actually is a game where you just control a single bloon which you can upgrade in between rounds, so you start as a red bloon and can upgrade to MOAB class. Idr what it's called but Dangerously Funny made a video on that last week
you either die a monkey or live long enough to see yourself become a Bloon
Exactly
@@sapphireblue4031 it’s literally called “Bloons but you are the bloon”
Idk what you're paying your editor, but they deserve a bonus for this vid's editing
Laughed way too much at the edits
If I remember correctly, he has two editors. The one on this vid is Dan White (look at desc)
WITCHCRAFT
His editors are both so good
He recently started a patreon and if I remember correctly the reason was mostly so he could pay his editors more. Ever since then the editing on all of the videos has been top tier.
@@colbycraig7679 Yes, i know craig. I'm subbed to it.
that doesn't detract from my point though.
from what i can tell, the key to success in this game is staging all your high hp units to come out first and sequentially relieve each other by incrementing speed as you go on. The goal is to have as many units as possible go through each tower at the same time, minimizing the time you're exposed to dps - having two distinct groups just doubles the total amount of damage you take
you don't gain much by having your first unit have all the speed and hp because by the time he's blasted off through the level, bringing exactly one item with him, all your squishy units have to take the full impact because there's nobody to draw aggro
not to backseat or anything but it seems like optimizing your stats to cause as much stacking of your units as possible is more important to maximizing survival numbers than just getting your unit numbers as high as possible, although that is also certainly necessary
Some "towers" do AoE damage, which punishes stacked groups.
Yeah true and also putting a unit that heavily specializes in being near other units in front of everything else definitely isn’t the play.
I remember in the og PvZ they had a mode like this and it was always my favorite, love this game so far :)
Hot take: I zombi is the best mode in all of PVZ and it not being in 2 is a disgrace. It's so fun!
It wasn't great, but It was cool
@@CowKirbo i’m more of a wall-nut bowling fan myself
@@fracturedemperorunderstandable. You gotta say that's it's stupid it didn't return though right?
@Gabriel Barros I think it's freaking amazing
Ooh I was not expecting to see you play this! Been following this one for ages and it looks super good at release! Loving to recent content :)
Love different concept rouge likes, there super fun to watch and follow along with you strategizing, would love to see more of this :)
This game looks really fun! Great video as always (but oh gosh, you’re a floating witch!)
A really cool game! Would LOVE to see this game on the channel!
Edit: it was this game I saw back in April of 2022 and it's got a Steam release now!!
I swear I've seen this before a couple years ago. Maybe I saw the alpha. But definitely saw almost exactly this where you sent an army of monsters to dodge the normal towers on a path. Or I dreamt this in a fever. But still fun style.
Definitely need more of this game. Build synergy seems like the way to play. You should do an undead run next.
One minute in and I already want to play this
would love to see you play some more of the real game, you really rock the synergies and would be fun to watch, cheers
I started watching you when you were uploading Bloons Tower Defense, so I think it is so fitting to come full circle and invade the towers with this game ~♡
This game's really cool! Definitely would love to see more
This was amazing, please make more content about tower escape
Very much enjoyed and would love to see more
My favorite reverse tower defense game is Necronator: Dead Wrong ... which adds deckbuilding and roguelite elements.
The floating head joke was funnier than it deserved to be
Enjoyed this quite a bit, would love to see more. Also, props to the editor, they usually do a good job but they did a great job this time.
I LOVE these sorts of games
It's sorta like I, Zombie from PvZ...
Ide love to see a series of this ngl
Only small thing I would like to see if we get more of this is when the minions are running to be on one stage slower, during intense areas you cant tell at all what is going on. They just finish and you go "oh these died". Love this games concept though
I hope we can keep getting more of this game. Seems cool,
5:21 IT WAS LEGEND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE LEGEND THE DANG ONYX
Fun game, would be interested to see different crazy builds
I've watched so many gameplays of this game lately, I'm almost buying it 😅
The path seems to be a snake, it's kinda cute when its eyes blink.
finally
the tower offense
Oh my god. He’s no longer the monkeys, he is the bloons. Run.
there was a reverse tower defense that I used to play a very long time ago on Kongregate, which was similar to this. Ive long forgotten the name of it though
The one editing choice I despise is blocking the choices Tyler doesn’t take. I really like looking at the options every time
0:00 Imp Tylor is very cute.
Love this game fr
I wanna see more of this!
The spiritual successor to bloons that I never knew I wanted
11:00 It's too late now, but that 3-star mummy looked pretty damn strong
i like the moving cam gag. WITCH
0:50
I spot a Peglin in the top left!
Loved the video. I think it'd be easier to follow if you used 2x speed instead of 3x. as it was I couldn't keep track of basically anything in the run. still a fun game that I hope to see more of!
really cool game
This was great!
fckn loved it
Cool!
Day 68 of asking Tyler to cosplay as a Peglin for his loyal fans
Soon.
Soon.
Good game, play more
I remember tech demo of this game, looks so much better
great video!
Play the full version, please!
Nice win.
This reminds me of royal revolt!
Did you recently hire a full time editor? The polish has been noticed
I remember playing the web version a while ago
Tyler upload Day is a good Day
This reminds of a vídeo i wachd of this game
Been playing this a ton tje past couplw of days. Super fun but on the easier side until some of the higher ascensions
it would be cool if games better figured into the ui a streamer mode that has a good spot for the camera. Should be an optional setting but could be cool for a cleaner ui for streamers.
this game could make your menions 2 rows and have a square to put your imagine in. would need a cool border :P
this is not a reverse tower defense. this is a tower attack
W fizz fr
Hey Tyler, guys here!
3:24 There are some who call him...
Editor having fun today eh?
11:26 Tyler giving strategy advice on a game he’s played for about 20 minutes.
That’s when you know hes a gamer
bloons but you're the bloon but it's not bloons and you need to collect things but it's from a third person pov and more bloons even though it isn't bloons
Reverse Tower Defense = Tower Attack
Is there no Patreon video this week if anyone knows?
Does this game have sound effects from vampire survivors? Lol
oh cool, it's like anti TD
More plz. Big plz.
Lmao riff raff reference
I don’t understand why he avoids the health potions so much…
Stanks
btd battles but you aren’t playing
The idea behind this game is really interesting. I love when people take a standard game formula (tower defense) and just flip it on its head. City building game? How about instead we make a city destruction game instead! It allows for such a different game, that still seems familiar.
Wait, isn't the reverse of that being a citizen in city sims game but you have to survive the chaos of that is the 'player'?
Truly a Mindustry moment
@@parmflace that's true, I didn't even think of that one haha. That's another reason this works so well, because you can take many different aspects of a game and then change it up. For tower defense you could also make a game where you're one single character in a group of others and you manually control that one character, could even be an fps game or something. Like the Bloons fps game, you play as one of the monkeys in an fps environment. It's all really fresh but still built off of a proven game concept
@@parmflace we may never go for a swim again in that case
@@Exshemfellow mindustry player?
Your idea of a pvp mode with one person controlling the towers and another controlling the minions is brilliant
It isn't quite brilliant, after seeing this game, i'd say that's what usually comes to mind
@@gabrielbarros493 Well, nothing like it has been created. And I didn't think of it when I first watched the old demo for this
@@tyrannicalmuffin1442 It exists now th-cam.com/video/ykg8D4-rK0g/w-d-xo.html
@@tyrannicalmuffin1442 bloons TD battles
@@tyrannicalmuffin1442 I have very often thought of this, and i think the problem with it is that it's hard to make a fun and balanced game for both players
Also having to be online is one more problem
The video title just makes me think of the old flash game Anti-TD where you'd send machines of increasing cost and differing stats to get past the computer who would place towers periodically to try and stop you
That game was hard or I just sucked.
@@vanillatwilight6563 no, I'm pretty sure it was just pretty damn hard
I loved this game
One advantage of being an Aliensrock subacriber is that Tyler always finds these cool ass games, so theres almost always a new thing to entertain your night
I really like the edits where they make it easier to see what Tyler is looking at
Cool game, would be happy to see more!
I've played a somewhat similar game (non roguelite) a couple of years ago and I found the concept to be very intriguing
It always bummed me out that there are barely any other "tower attack" games, so I'm glad this game exists
Villainous! I'm 100% sure that's the game you played
I have no proof, as there are a bunch of reverse-tower defense, but Villainous is the one that I enjoyed the most and immediately comes to mind
Stoked you’re playing this game. Love to see more.
Thank you for the video Tyler and editors!
Yo editor if you see this good work on the small details like at 6:34 its a nice addition
This looks like a really fun game and right up your alley, I’d love to see more of it. Also, it could be the fact that it’s 2 AM right now but Dan absolutely killed it on this video. Made me laugh out loud multiple times, and I’ve gotten to the point where not many videos can make me do that. Special shoutout to the witchcraft face cam bit, that one got me every time it happened
Same! More of this game please, and the witchcraft bit had me cackling too!
as an aspiring game dev I love this concept and design here. Just imagining programming it, that must have been so much fun to figure out!
Really fun I would love to see more videos on this! I'm really interested to see what kinds of strategies and synergies there are
Yooooo it's this game.
Istg Tyler is a psychic
I find out about a game.
And within a few days Tyler releases a video on it.
Loved this, hope to see more!
Tower defence but the enemy makes my troops run 9 quintillion light years and puts towers to slow them down…
Shroomy is precious
this game looks really fun would love to see more
also props to the editors! theyve really been doing great as of late
This seems really fun both to watch and to play. The only thing that seems to be holding it back a bit is the lack of vatiety on enemies
wouldn't this just be a tower offense instead of reverse tower defense
YOOO! Tower Escape!!! I took part in the jam when this was first made! I knew it had success, I was following its development since then, but I never expect Aliensrock to play it! I love it when small jam games manage to become this much of a success
Fuck it, tower offence
This was a lot more entertaining than I originally thought it'd be
I JUST RECENTLY THOUGHT OF THIS CONCEPT AND THEN THIS COMES UP :000
Tyler you should totally play Arknights. The best tower defense game in my opinion and could be a long term series.
This game seems sick. There was an old flash game called AntiTD that had a similar idea, but this is executed better tbh
What about ‘Bloons td but you are the Bloon’?
