Could anyone point me in the direction which is the best health bar solution in tower defense game for iOS platform. I have health bar system in my project but it drains 15-20 fps.

Please help!

Hi,

 It depends how far your health bar features goes, could you elaborate?

Essentially, a health bar is only a gui sitting on top of your character, for this playmaker will handle it fine, I am not sure how you implemented your health bar to take some much perfs out, maybe you should look into fixing it, it may be something very simple? Can you tell more about how you implemented it?

There is a number of threads on this with working samples as well:

or if you use NGUI:
