Operation Flytrap by Kristopher Windsor tied for second place in the Tower Defense Challenge. It is written in FreeBasic.

In this game, creeps can fly over towers, but not over trees, which the user can reposition. The creeps get smart this time, going out of the way to avoid towers.
The game features several levels, creeps, towers, difficulty levels, and sound effects. The game is complete and fully playable.
Graphics, sound effects, and music were provided by third parties (see the readme file).

Tower of Mediocrity, by Christopher Nelson, was developed for the Tower Defense Challenge. It is written in C++ with ncurses and SDL.

In this game, creeps follow through a pre-set maze from the top of the screen to the bottom. The player places towers which autonomously shoot toward the center line of the maze. The major twist is that your funds also serve as your life.
The game features multiple types of enemies, waves, towers, and maps, as well as music. The game is complete and fully playable.
Graphics and fonts of the SDL version are provided under the GPLv2 and the music is public domain.
