LambdaMu Games, an independent game developer and publisher headquartered in Singapore, recently announced the launch of 4Towers: Episode 2 “Evolution” for iPhone and iPod touch. Episode 2 is available as an update to 4Towers, while the App itself will be free through October 22nd.

The developer describes itself in a funny way: ”the company was founded in 2010 with the goal of creating engaging games that appeal to all types of gamers, while slowly and secretly attempting to build another secret base on the moon.”

The original 4Towers game is a Tower Defense game which uses four basic towers to create a wide range of effects.

The game lets players customize their plan of attack by combining these basic towers. They will also be able to unlock different effects while accumulating funds that can be immediately used to purchase upgrades as each successive enemy wave becomes more difficult.

“Our plan for 4Towers is to eventually create a deep and engaging game that will provide endless hours of fun,” said LambdaMu Games CEO Ivan Loo.

“With the addition of the new levels and tower types, we are one step closer towards realizing that goal.”

Episode 2 “Evolution” update adds a new class of towers called ‘ability towers’. These towers do not automatically engage the enemy after they are built, instead, they require players to manually activate them.

The game will become even more challenging as the new towers are able to unleash powerful abilities, after they're activated.

The 4 new towers included in Episode 2 are the Missile Barrage Tower, the Ice Trap Tower, the Artillery Tower and finally, the Booster, aka “Bloodlust”, Tower. Episode 2 also comes with 13 new levels and 3 new enemy types.

Further, the developer of the game plans to release more episodes in the near future, that will bring more tower types, tower specializations, item collection, as well as multiplayer support.

4Towers: Episode 2 “Evolution” is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch and requires iOS 4.0 or later, as well as 17.4 MB storage space. The game can be downloaded for free from the AppStore.
