AMazing TD - New version

2010-01-11 - First public version v0.91.54
Here is a free touch screeen tower defence game that I've been developing for a while.
It has only been tested on a Nokia 5800 XM so I don't know if it works on any other S60v5 phones.
This is just a beta version, the game needs some more balancing and the graphics can be improved.
Please let me know of any bugs you'll find.

Anyway, I hope you'll like it.

Known bugs in v0.91.54
1) LaserTower is bugged, avoid upgrading it higher than level 2. EDIT 2010-03-20: This bug has been fixed in v0.96.32
