117,944 – that's my final score in Xeno Defense. I think this is the first Time Waster I found addictive enough to actually play all the way to the end.

Where Desktop Tower Defense feels a bit constrained, Onslaught has a bit of a more organic feel to it. The concept is the same - there are attacking "critters" that are trying to get past your defenses. Your job is to ...

I've seen games like Flash Element TD before and haven't been overwhelmed, but after playing this one for about 45 minutes, and then realizing I had been playing it for 45 minutes, I realized it's a keeper.
