We rate this 4 out of 5.Star rating:

When we talk about iOS tower defence games, we tend to think of Field Runners and its suicidal death march of legions of tiny soldiers, but Bad Hotel is a gloriously cracked remix of the entire concept.

You're the manager of a series of towering hotels in luxury, neon-hued settings, but the building's psychopathic Texan owner wants to trash it in order to get his hands on the insurance pay-out. You counter his squads of bird-bombers, mad swimmers and death-balloons by building the hotel ever-higher like a giant Lego tower, adding revenue-earning rooms, defensive guns, healing blocks and the like to try and survive the absurd onslaught.

As your hotel changes shape, it sounds different abstract tunes, so there's music-making to be done at the same time as survival. Then there are the deliriously over the top boss fights, which are far better seen than being ruined by description.
