Description
Pools of Blood is a hands-on kind of tower defense game set to the thumping sounds of Set Fire to the Hive, by progressive rock outfit Karnivool.
In most tower defence games you have to set up defences, fiddle with traps, or line up troops. In Pools of Blood you cut straight to the chase and crush your attackers under your finger like a mighty cross between Godzilla and Gandalf. With game modes that provide fast and furious action or more sedate options, Pools of Blood supports a range of play styles.
While the basics are simple, the game gets more interesting as you protect your "unsullied tower" bonus, you spread the carnage to build your "paint the town red" score, and bust multi-squish combos to really rack up the points. Use the ability to create shockwaves with near misses to send Orcs flying and set up those killer combos. As your score soars you can see it stack up against players around the world with our live-score progress bar.
Features:
* Fast and finger-tapping gameplay
* Three game modes, ranging from relaxing to relentless
* String multi-squish combos together to rack up big scores
* Strategically tap near Orcs to send them flying into just the right formation
* Live progress bar shows your current achievement against your personal best and players around the world
* Splatter engine helps you paint the town red
* Excellent stress management; Squish Orcs like bubble wrap
* Music by Karnivool
* An orcstandingly fun game

Customer Reviews
Awesome Game, Very Addictive!
PoB is deceptively simple but really hard to put down once you've started. All of the joys of popping bubble wrap but with the extra bonus that new Orcs keep rushing in to get squashed. You also get extra points for combo moves and bonuses for keeping your tower pristine or when you "Paint the Town Red". Comparing your score with other players around the world in a live "Hall of Fame" is another very nice touch.
This is a great way to get rid of your frustrations during the work day, on the train or whatever.
The lighthearted humor is always fun and refreshing. I highly recommend this game!
Tower defense with more action!
You have to defend your keep, but it's more action-based than "proper" tower defense games - I like it. Perfect cheap time waster. Love the extra levels
Pretty Good
Fun to play and a game you will find yourself going back to time and time again. Worth the download and the space on your iPhone.
