I died quite often during the first wave because I had to dodge the enemies, my towers, rocks and the exhaust (so driving in reverse wasnt a good idea either).

I was considering giving them a path, but then you could just drive outside of the path and they wouldn't ever get to you. In TD games that have a set path, there is usually something at the end of the path that you have to stop the enemies from getting to. In my game, you have to stop the enemies from getting to the player, and since the player is always moving, the path has to always move as well.
