Sqdef is a tower defense game. The goal is to prevent enemies from getting from one side of the map to the other, by placing towers along their way. There are 9 different buildings, with upgrades, tech research, difficulty levels, and a whole lot of maps to try your defense skills on!

Changes:

* The game is much easier, leaving the greater challenge for the harder (multi-path) maps. Weaker enemies at the beginning, more powerful upgrades for the Ice Turret, and more powerful Barricades. The Depot gives 1% interest instead of just 0.5%.
* Fast forward – hold R to run the game at up to 3x the normal speed (this may slow down in the later levels with a lot of buildings and creatures).
* Map preview along with game stats are shown in the Load/Save screens. No more overwriting a saved game without knowing it!
* A medal is awarded each time you beat a map on a certain length. Bronze for 10 waves, Silver for 24, and Gold for 45.
* Top-3 hiscore table for each map, and for each game length.
* Medals and hiscores are displayed in the map selector.
* All menus have been refined, the whole game looks more polished now.
* Screenshots are saved in Screenshots folder, and a saving message appears on-screen while writing the file.
* One new map (Twister)

Please delete the old Sqdef installation before going ahead with this one, because some of the file formats changed. The save format changed as well, so be sure to also delete the old .sav file.
