So what's someone to do to make their tower defense styled game stand out? The simple answer is to use cute little ninjas.
Ninjatown DS is a game developed by Venan and being released by Southpeak. Based on former EGM editor Shawn Smith's Shawnimals line of toys, Ninjatown features a colorful cast of cute ninja characters all trying to protect their city from Mr. Demon and his forces."

Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)
Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.
Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P
It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.
StartGame: A volcano erupts near Ninjatown, which brings along Mr Demon and his hordes of devils, who are bent on the destruction of the town.
