There are certain days where I think that I must have one of the best jobs. When I started blogging for Splashtop I was highly encouraged to try out new, cool services that would test out Splashtop in order to find things that would appeal to our loyal community of users. I don’t know why it took me so long to figure out that games fit into this task perfectly. This post will be short because I have to get back to my heavy research on this subject. But, I found a game that I wanted to share with you immediately so that you, too, can heavily research this subject.

The Game is called: Desktop Tower Defense. You can find it on Kongregate, which is a great casual gaming site.

The idea here is that you’ve got your desktop. Your *real* desktop, not your virtual one. You’ve got a bunch of stuff on your desktop including some money. These little creatures that look like evil cells from Fantastic Voyage want your money. In fact, they’re heading right for your dough. So, you’ve got to build a blockade using several types of stationary weapons. As the evil creatures come through your blockade the weapons will fire, thus damaging and eventually killing the creatures. As you pass more levels, you’ll earn more money which will allow you to purchase more weapons. Just don’t let the creatures get to your money or you’ll eventually lose.

The screenshot above is a good strategy hint. I wish I had seen that about two hours ago.

Once again I am reminded that Splashtop can get you to your favorite web applications seconds after you hit the power button. Today my favorite web application is Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 on Kongregate. You should give it a shot. Call it product research.
