Hey! I'm excited to say this my first post on ipodtouch. I wanted to let you guys know about a project created by myself, and programmer Jonathon Davis.

Moonlight Minions (http://www.moonlightminions.com) is a 2D tower/defense game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Help protect whimsical forests from hordes of uniquely ghoulish creatures by strategically placing towers for optimal effectiveness. Be wary... your enemies will use anything, including special powers to get past your defenses! Use destructive forces of nature and upgradable defenses to keep the minions from crossing onto your territory.

This looks hot. When is the release?

It looks pretty fun, but the UI could use some work. Not that it's bad, it looks actually better than a lot of games I've seen.

The think the colors are too dark.

What does this TD game offer that others don't?

Another...I think I'm done with those =[

That's a good question! I have played lots of tower defense games... and what I have noticed is that they all follow the same basic formula. A variety of air and ground units. To add to this, we have included "special ability" units along with the basic. Some of their powers include the ability to teleport, stealth, destroy defenses, and the ability to spawn and heal additional units.

Because the minion's abilities make it more difficult to defend your base, we have also included the choice of 3 special abilities of your own to use against them. You can shake the device for a stunning earthquake effect, or tap the screen for an area effect meteor shower or lightning bolt.

In addition to this, we are releasing with 4 different zones and 16 different maps. More content will be coming soon in a patch after release.

Hopefully these changes will help us stand out from the other tower defense games ^_^
Thank you so much for commenting, and I hope I answered your question!

Wow that's actually interesting. Might change my mind =]

I hope so! I would love to hear what you think of it after playing ^_^

I also forgot to mention (to S.I.D. CrAzY and InfiniteVolume) that the UI was designed in a way that you can hide the towers panel. Sometimes I feel all of the extra UI gets in the way, so the panel slides in and out. That way if you don't like it to be visible except when you are building, or feel that they are interfering with the game play, you can minimize it.

looks good! :)
