It is very winnable with no griding at all. If you are struggling look at the bottom of the screen when you lose. If you click on the button that says something to the effect "Too hard?" It will take you to the game's website with a guide for your level.

I would add that once you see how they set up their towers, you will have a better sense moving forward of what is effective and what is not, and the game should be much easier.

The only thing you need ingame currency for is buying one of the two best heroes, aka Lumberback or Terminator. They are a lot better than the standard one you get at the start. The rest is completely optional and unnecessary. There's really no need to grind.

I've beaten every mission without ever retrying more than once or twice. Just look at where the bottlenecks are on each map and place some melee units there. Place a few upgraded gattling towers next to those bottlenecks and you have most of the maps already figured out. Those gattling towers seem to be the best ones when it comes to damage vs money spent. In the later parts of missions you want to add some Tesla towers, because there are enemies, who are immune to bullets.

As agriba said, you can also look up videos for each mission on the official website.

I just won the "large intestine" in easy mode. It wasn’t particularly difficult. I think I have won 4 earlier levels in "med" difficulty, but none in "hard" yet. Perhaps you forgot to allocate some skill points? (don’t forget that your hero can be upgraded too. I was playing with hulk who is level 13 now.)

...and when all else fails, watch the most popular youtube walkthrough for the level that is annoying you; that's how I am having to do to get through some Super Sanctum TD levels

this is deciptively tough but i found replaying previous levels that i got enough points and gems to improve skills points on ya hero and if you want some items from the shop and found levels that were tough alot more but not totaly easyer to win ... but failing that if you realy need then like others have said just hit the link after you have been beaten and watch the video

It's not too bad I've completed hard mode up to the leg so far

what I find more tedious than difficult is the increased speed on higher difficulty.

We are adding some keyboard controls in upcoming patch that will help you play on higher speed with ease. :-)

Corwin8, I'd love to see an easier difficulty level included for people like me who are either less hardcore (or not quite as skilled). :)

We provide tutorials so it should be quite easy to complete all levels. :-)

You don't have to watch whole video, just use it as hint when you cannot continue on your own. Also, TD games are known to be quite difficult and Defend Your Life is one of the less hardcore I belive. :-)

No tutorial for the brain eh?

No cheating on bonus level! :-D Well, you can see some tips in screenshot section here on Steam, but we will make video of last level as tutorial in near future.

Yeah, my favourite anti-nicotinic solution. :-)

I thought H1N1 was a bit overpowered...

Just got there. I get that you should really work on your strategy for normal and hard modes, but on easy that level is impossible without looking it up. Pretty bad design choice if you have to gate your content behind a strategy guide even on easy...
