Currently the map is at a beta stage with
v0.6b which is %60 of v1
How it's unique
In most TDs towers will have some special power, but they will all attack in the same way. In my TD their are 17 tower types (22 in v1) and they all attack in a different way. For example, destruction towers are aimed manually at a point, stealth can disappear or reapear whenever you want, and air towers blow enemies away from wherever they're going. Through these unique towers (many cool abilities for towers within their types), the gameplay is already very different from your standard TD, strategies and mazes created have to be completely different if you hope to complete all of the 60 current levels. Also their are seven modes with many more to be added later. Each mode plays very differently, and some are unlike any TD I've ever played. Note that some of the most unique modes are still being implemented.
Map Summary
Gravedigger TD is a unique TD that can be considered a full TD game in it's finished form. Modes and gameplay are intended to ensure it is exciting for every gamer. Casual gamers will love the arcade feel of the Fill The Graves Mode while Hardcore gamers may enjoy the extreme difficulty of the Heroic Endurance mode. While everyone may like playing a match of rumble pit, a hero arena like mini-game. More mini-games and more modes will be constantly added as new versions are released. Post a complete discription of your mode idea and it will be considered to add to future versions, if used you will be given credit.
Map Features List (for v0.6)
-Over 125 unique towers

-Modes variety created to allow all players to enjoy the map

-Each boss has an ability that he will use to make the boss battles more unique and challenging
-Many unique special abilities for the creeps, such as zombie levels, which respawn when killed and can only leak if they've never been killed before

the ingame minimap is very annoying, because you can see the towers and units on the minimap but the background of the minimap is the same picture like the preview picture.
other things that are not very good:
-first units spawn too fast, but you need alot of time to read all the tower discription if you play it the first time
-the player next to me was able to attack and kill my towers with his towers (working as intended?)

I will be updating this map soon. The new version will include an introductory period at the beginning to give new players enough time to read the tooltips and everything and tell them what all the towers do etc. Also, I will be testing a lot to improve balancing. I'm not sure what to do with the minimap though, becuase regular minimap looks worse and is just as helpful. The player next to you is supposed to be able to attack you, he gets a money bonus for it. Do you think I should change that?

maybe you should make a pvp mode where you are allowed to kill other player's towers

EpixBelongToMe,
look for the "Line Survivor Mode" in v0.35, it's
the same as Line TD, but you can't attack other players, only creeps.
Update: as of v0.38 line survivor is played in a separate level

It's a good TD, but you should make the attacking of other players optional.
It also looks, ugly, the lanes and all.
Can't you set camera bounds for the mini-map, instead of that pix?

1. Attacking other players is part of that mode, pick Line survivor and no one can attack you
2. I'll work on improving the terrain
3. I don't know how to, but if someone tells me how to, then yes, I will

1. Well, I didn't know that, Lol.
2. Yay.
3. Make a region over the area and use the trigger and do "Set Camera Bounds" or something.

v0.52 is available and fixes many problems found in past versions. If you played and there was a bug or glitch, please don't vote based on that, just try the new version, if there's still a bug, report it
(response to Sworddragon's comment)
2. I've updated a lot of the terrain since posting that, so see if you like it now
3. I've also figured out how to set camera bounds and have, however the minimap doesn't work with this unless I use a background picture.
