Desktop Defender (formerly called DTDQP for Desktop Tower Defense Quick Play) is a game playable on Facebook, that is not playable on the Casual Collective. The game was created by Grrr to get a wider audience. Gameplay is very similar to Desktop TD Pro.
Many wild guesses were made at the meaning of the acronym "QP", until Critters confirmed on September 5th that it stood for "Quick Play". On September 18th, he announced that the game could now be called "Desktop Defender".

Cards
Cards are required to build towers and use special abilities. Cards can only be obtained by buying them at the store with coins. After a card has been bought they must be selected to be used in the game. Selecting a card takes up one of the available slots.
The game has since been updated. Extra towers have been created but are not included on this page.

Creep overview
|
Main article: Creep (DesktopTD) |
Creeps come in waves, of one unique type. These have specific characteristics. Some are considered harder than others.
- Normal - Normal creeps are very basic creeps possessing no special power or ability. Tackle them as if they were normal.
- Immune - Immune creeps are resistant to frost towers and cannot be slowed. Don't try slowing these hot monsters down!
- Group - Safety in numbers. Well, unless you hit them with splash towers.
- Fast - Fight speed with speed. Quickly destroy these creeps so they are unable to zip past your defenses.
- Spawn - These tricky creeps split up when they are destroyed. These "spawnlets" slip through the gaps in your maze, so block them up or you will be in serious trouble!
- Flyers - This menaces fly over your towers, rendering some of your towers useless against them. Use swarm towers to tackle these.
- Dark - Evil creeps these are. They null some damage of every shot that hits them, making strong, upgraded towers necessary.
