TowerMadness
TowerMadness was released on May 23, 2009 for iOS. The mobile game is an open map tower defense game with a zoomable 3D camera. The objective is to defend a base filled with a flock of sheep from waves of aliens by destroying them with diverse weapons in the form of towers. UFOs drop invading aliens on landing pads and the waves of enemies make their way to the base to abduct the sheep. The goal of each alien is to abduct one sheep. The player can destroy the aliens by building towers. Each enemy destroyed provides the player with more in-app coins to obtain new towers and upgrade existing towers for more damage output. Once all waves of enemies are destroyed or all sheep have been abducted, the game ends. On December 5, 2013, an Android version of TowerMadness launched on the Google Play Store.

Three versions of TowerMadness exist: TowerMadness, released on May 23, 2009; TowerMadness Zero, the ad-enabled version, released on October 25, 2009; and TowerMadness HD, the version enhanced for the iPad that exclusively includes split-screen multiplayer mode, released on May 23, 2010.
