For the first 10 rings, try to get a quad color harmony on every one. If you have 4 of each color in any given ring, you get 9 tiles and a joker. If you have 4 of each color and at least 3 of each shape, you get a bomb and 3 tiles too. Try to have 8 jokers by the time you get to the blue rings. Once I'm at the blue rings, you should try to get the quad sets, but it's ok if you can't quite pull it off. If you are one tile away from a quad bonus, and you need two specific colors, and you HAVE those colors but just can't make the tile fit, make it a joker, you'll still get the reward. Once you get to the red rings, your goal is simply survival. Now is when you want to use the bombs and jokers you saved up in the first 15 or so levels. You will be extremely limited here so don't waste any power-ups as you won't really be getting any more except color or symbol changes. If you have 8 or 9 jokers left you should have enough power-up cheese to get through the final few rings.
@ AnTi PhAnTom: the ORIGINAL counter strike allowed aiming only for snipers, and there was only one dual-pistol purchase... What im trying to say is this is meant as a RECREATION of the original, not a whole new game.
Also known as: Self Control, the game; Tower of Greed is a Salmon game. You work hard ALL day to get up the waterfall, but then get screwed and die in the end. This game is not for the uninsured.
Wow. This really would have been one of the best games on kongregate if it wasn't for the troops being set to look in one direction. The hunters would be much less of a problem for gamers if the flamethrower units have at least the ability to rotate. I have three gold stars on levels one and two but SOMEHOW level three is an impossible feat even on easy. All we ask is at least, next game, make the troopers smarter. -XATHORN
