As there are not going to be any game giveaways this weekend, I thought I’d post some alternatives. Today a tower defense game tomorrow an excellent open source rts game called Warzone 2100 which is similar to the Command & Conquer series. It's easy to play, with relatively simple controls though you'll need to put aside a decent amount of time to play it, whereas today's game, a decent tower defense game can be played in those off moments you may have spare between jobs or games.
Castle Defense: (<1Mb)
This is a standard Tower defense game with winding roads leading up to a castle. you have to purchase cannons to stop the enemy from reaching the castle. thje roads are desined in such a way that placement of your cannons is an important factor to consider when placing them. You earn money when you kill enemies which can then be spent on more cannons.
You have to stop the enemies from destroying the castle. If they do you've lost the game. :)
As the game progresses there will be more enemies to kill. The game is relatively short with only 10 levels, but it'll give you a good 20 to 30 minutes of distraction. (Or more if you fail to keep the hoards from destroying your castle
You need Net Framework 2.0 for this game to run. If you don't have it installed you can download it HERE
If you're not sure whether you've got it, unpack the game and copy it to wherever you wish it to go then create a short cut to the desktop; then try and run the game. If it won't run, you probably don't have the program installed.
