Worth the 99¢ for sure
Great tower defense game with an interesting twist in that enemy units don't need to proceed in the same path. They will stop and try to destroy your towers from defensive positions. The ramp up at the beginning of negate is a bit steep for all the possible complexities, it could have done with an extra level or two to teach what tactics are best in each case such as trenching in or how much extra damage a comm tower will host your defenses.
The crash on launch seems to be common but the trick is to restart your iPad completely. Has another annoying bug, users get victory points for a level that you can use towards power ups, if you redo a level and do worse than the previous attempt then you lose the difference in victory points. It gets recorded as the first attempt but your given only your second attempt. So even going back and doing the level again does nothing to regain those points. I currently have what they call a full House of every level up to 8, which means I should have a rounded number of victory points as they are given in tens and used in tens but I have 8 left over, which is exactly the difference in score between my two attempts.
I wish I could write more but you can't write a review on the iPad and see what your typing past the first 300 characters.

Not loading
Just bought this game for my iPad 1 and it kicks me out when ever i try to load campaign mission.
Unless this is fixed shortly i will continue to say that this game is a complete waste of money.

Beautiful but boring
The first thing that strikes you about this game is the beauty of it. It really can't be matched graphically by any other tower defense games. That said, I lost interest in this game very quickly because it's just not fun. I think part of the reason is that the game is too zoomed out by default so it's just not as much fun when you kill the units. It's also extremely annoying that the whole map cannot fit on the screen. You could have a tower / weapon getting destroyed off screen and not know about it.
All in all, there's a lot of potential here but also a lot of fun that's missing. For your money, you're much better off right now with a game like Kingdom Rush.

STOP COMPLAINING PEOPLE
Listen the game can be challenging but its no where near impossible i basically beat the game and i never died, its fun but hard enough to make you think, which makes it more fun than just sitting there watching wave of enemies go by being bored. So if you like rower defense games get it this is way more fun than all 5 bloons games! And best on IOS

Good but buggy
Lots of bugs. Poorly balanced. Easy level can be very hard. Win some levels and can't advance until go back first in menus -very buggy. Assign points and it will sometimes forget. Many nuances you have to figure out because help is virtually useless.
Very difficult to earn decent amounts of money for upgrades. Nothing defines perks so you have to figure them out to a degree. What do bars under perks mean? How come you can't assign perks on third level from first but you can on second levels. Who knows because help is non-existant.
In app purchase kills spirit of the game. And if I am paying for it I should be able to use anytime. It is, after all, a game!!!!
This is truly like a beta version. Potential is great but wait until 2.0.

Incredibly fun, incredibly frustrating
Fantastic graphics, audio and production value. Like all good games, it lures you in with easy levels and a sense of accomplishment. Then out of nowhere it becomes quite difficult causing you to rethink your strategy. Unlike most games, however, it doesn't allow you to get better. It teases you with an upgrade system whose only currency is achieved by playing the campaign. If you don't perfect a campaign mission, you don't get full points and thus miss out on potential upgrades. Be warned though, don't expect to regain those points by playing again. The game has completely different mechanics via replay, whose sole purpose seems to exist to gain achievements. So by the time you reach later levels, unless you've played it perfectly on the first try, you're so far behind in upgrades that the levels, even on rookie, become nearly impossible.

Some bugs - which have been resolved!
Don't get me wrong, I love the game. It's a really good tower defence game.
However, I have an issue that should be addressed asap. I bought the rocket bomb upgrade and used it two days ago. Since then whenever I want to use it again, like today, it tells me that I have already used it today. Now, that's not quite right as the only time I used it was two days ago.
The reason why I am writing this here and not on the support page is that the link from the app store to the support page does not seem to work on my iPhone 4.
Please, fix the above, then I'll give it five stars.
Bugs seem to have been fixed. Thanks! And rating changed to five stars.

Addictive little towers game
Initially would crash on start up but since power cycling the iPad (turn it off and on again) it's been pretty stable. Enjoying this little gem of a game immensely with the ambushes (tanks / men appearing out of the jungle etc) making you think about tower placement more carefully. The radar towers are a must in later levels for generating extra cash.

5 stars BUT...
For a total of $3.99 plus tax it's fairly expensive. Don't purchase the upgrade bomb for $.99. It's useless. There are only 2 'bonus' missions and maybe 12-15 real missions. You must pause the game every few seconds to 'dig in' your turrets which slows down game play. Difficult on rookie level. Rating a 5 only because I hope for more stages upgrades weapons bonus missions. Good game but could be great.
