I used to love the Vector TD games, was a big fan of Fieldrunners on iOS, and I guess to a lesser extent Anomaly Warzone and Tower Madness. i have tiny heroes but never really gave it a chance so will have to spend some time with it!
oooOOOooo! I forgot about Tower Madness! I might have to go back and play that again! 🙂
