Muffin Defence

There's very few games less addictive than a tower defence game. For those not aware, a tower defence game is one in which you have a base to defend from enemies. To do this you put things like guns and monkeys between the base and the enemies to stop them reaching it. Its simple and addictive like a tray of fresh  muffins.
I love tower defence and there was a time at school I got just a tad obsessed. The other good thing about them is they tend to be free flash games so your losing hours of your life totally free of charge.
Today I bought Dillon's Rolling Western, a super original tower defence game on the 3DS eshop. Initially it looks like Gorons from Zelda- The Game, which is awesome enough as it is. You roll about and smash into things for cash and then defend your fort from giant rocks and thats all fine and dandy, But with that cash you build towers, thus transforming into a tower defence game- thus making it as awesome as that previous tray of muffins. THUS.
 There's so many possibilities for what can be in a TD game and developers have seen this, often ranging from the predictable monsters attacking castles to the awesome balloons attacking monkeys, with darts (bloons tower defence 4, play it now).
It gave me a few ideas for some possible TD games based on situations I have come across in life.

Champagne Defence
I used to work fancy dinners at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Confrence Centre and most would start with a drinks reception. This would involves a tirade of suits heading towards tables of champagne - and as you can see thats an obvious basis for TD game. The less complimentary champagne put out, the less the poor oil compnay has to pay.
You could buy poor purple tied teens to get in the way of the champagne and spill drinks on the floor.
Pipers could be bought to lead over excited bosses and their wives away from the tables and to the paid bars.
A technique used by the AECC themselves was to block the tables with staff who would usher them further into the room. This would only last until you could send the staff out with trays and get the piper ready however. Even with a blockade of S6 Oldmachar and Bod pupils the champagne never lasted for long...


Muffin Defence
I always tend to neglect muffins when they're in the house. They just don't seem as exciting as a danish pastry or doughnut. They're just kind of there. Hence muffin defence. With your funds you'd have to buy a steady flow of pastries and cakes more exciting than the muffins. The level would be hardest at night when most of the food has been eaten and its either muffins of fruit.

Those are the only 2 ideas i've realised.
And all that trying to think of more ideas has made me lose my train of thought so i shall leave it there. Shall head off and have a muffin if all the oreos are gone.
