Ratings and reviews

Excellent game to come back to again and again. Plenty of viable builds. Matches last the perfect amount of time (5-10m once you become familiar with every upgrade). Unfortunately, the most interesting features are behind a paywall that—in my opinion after playing for quite a while—is too expensive. There simply isn't enough content for me to fully recommend the purchase. Still, there's plenty to do without paying, and there's also l always the possibility of future content updates.

Pretty good take on tower defense. Unique but familiar. Also pretty challenging, but not impossible or frustrating. I'd definitely like to see a v2 with a more thought out set of mechanics. One thing I will note is that this thing is buggy as hell lol. It hasn't ruined the game (yet), but I don't think I've used a buggier app. Hasn't seriously bothered me yet, though.

This tower defense game gets more right than any I've ever played. Gameplay is exhilarating! It removes the most tedious part of TD by strictly limiting the number of towers and upgrades. It's continually challenging while remaining fun; you will lose repeatedly, while you learn the gameplay and hone your strategy; and you will beat level 50 before it starts to feel like a grind. (I managed it after 3 tries.)
