I like tower defense games, played plenty on other platforms. I installed both Fieldrunners HD and Myth Defense on my Infuse... I quickly focused on Myth Defense because it seemed deeper, more upgrade options, capaign mode, accumulation of benefits that carry over to next more challenging map and so on.
Only problem was Myth Defense would tax my infuse greatly. Once I'd get above a certain number of attackers on screen sooner or later it would start stuttering and slow to a crawl. I'd pause it as it was unplayable, sometimes go force close other things, but that didn't help much. Sometimes it would recover, other times it would only partly recover. Very annoying as though not dual core, I thought the 1.2 ghz cpu ought to be able to handle this. I was wondering if this was due to only 512 ram, but I don't think I was capping it.
After about a week of frustration one day I actually opened the settings and noticed an "opengl" checkbox turned off. It must have been turned off by default. I turned it on... and viola! smooth as butter, never a stutter no matter what. The game runs awesome, obviously using the infuse's GPU.
Anyway just a quick story with a happy ending. I'm halfway through the campaign, but haven't bought the random world generator yet.
Any other recommendations of tower defense games? (oh, I also have Plants vs Zombies which I guess is kinda tower defense, it does run great, but liking this one better at the moment though that one is a very good game as well...)
