### 4/5 — 面白い、筐体熱い、、

*2026-08-31*

ホールIO型タワーディフェンス
この神の組み合わせがこんなに面白いとは思いませんでした。
無課金でずっと遊べます、課金をすれば派手な武器が使えるようです。
カクついて落ちても再度立ち上げるとゲームの続きからプレイできます。
そのせいなのか？ただ一つ難点は携帯でもタブレットでも熱くなる、プレイしなくてもゲームを立ち上げているだけでどんどん熱くなる、携帯でプレイするのはやめました、今はタブレットでのみプレイしてます。
発熱を改善して欲しいです。

### 2/5 — Impossible to beat

*2026-08-29, version 1.20b*

The game is fun until it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to beat. Then it just becomes really annoying. Like make want to throw my phone across the room annoying

### 2/5 — New update has ruined the game

*2026-08-27*

I loved this game until the new pirate update.  It has completely changed how the game is played and has ruined it for me.  Its no longer fun. Having to absorb as much as you can and wait before you can even place any turrets is crazy.

### 4/5 — ゲーム自体は面白い

*2026-08-26*

よくある穴に落とすゲームに似てるけどこのゲームは逆にUFOでいろんなものを吸い上げて行くゲーム。
課金するほどの事は何も有りません。
課金しないとイベントクリアできないものも有りますがいちいち課金してまで欲しいアイテムなわけでも無いのでずっと無課金で遊んです。
ただ最近遊んでいると異常に重くカク付きが出て落ちる事もしばしば。
その時はスマホ本体もかなり発熱します。

情報抜かれてるのか分かりませんが余計な処理を沢山している影響だと思うので、そういう時は一旦アプリもスマホの電源を落として冷めてからまた立ち上げ直します。

あまりにも落ちるようなら消します。
課金しなくて本当に良かったと思っています。

### 3/5 — Fun game but avoid events

*2026-08-18, version 1.19c*

Fun game to play but avoid playing the events that give special towers. These will be weak and  hurt gameplay as you now have weak tiers to pick from. If you spend a few thousand dollars you can keep them upgraded

### 3/5 — Cute but glitchy

*2026-08-18, version 1.19c*

App slows speed or freezes altogether, can’t actually even open the app right now

### 4/5 — Excellent way to pass time

*2026-08-12, version 1.19c*

The game is fun and ads are entirely optional. You can 100% progress without even paying. I actual recommend NOT ever getting the event reward towers and abilities as a free player. They can only be leveled up via event rewards and if you don't pay, you'll probably never level them to match your other towers and abilities while they still take up space in the random lotto of abilities and towers you need to choose from.

### 4/5 — Open new towers

*2026-08-10, version 1.19c*

Please allow us to open more towers and weapons, the game gets pretty old just waiting to win these side games, there is never enough time to get all the points to unlock things.

### 4/5 — Fun, support stinks

*2026-08-04, version 1.19*

It’s an OK game fun to waste the time. But when you have an issue, you have to send an email and get a generated response and your issue never gets fixed. But hey, they’ll send you a promo code that doesn’t work either for your inconvenience you can take a video and send it but it’s never the right format or size to actually send. Support stinks.

### 5/5 — Great but found a glitch…

*2026-08-03*

Love this game, am completely addicted to it, but all of a sudden, my cubes aren’t accepted to set weapons down. Nothing happens when hovering over, or it may accept two or four cubes at most. Stuck at level 31. ☹️

### 3/5 — The Best‼️

*2026-08-03, version 1.19*

I don’t usually write reviews but this game is the best. My every day go to! 

Unfortunately there are some bugs. It stopped allowing me to add towers to the map which is really disappointing!

### 1/5 — Game Needs To Change

*2026-09-01*

Just started playing and it is very difficult. It takes too long to recharge energy to play levels. When energy is gone I go play a different game and wait a few days before coming back. It is also way too difficult to upgrade saucer. Then there is also this “Pirate Event” which just makes every level more difficult, levels are already too difficult to play. This seems like one off those games where the Dev’s make it too difficult without spending. People play for a bit, get discouraged and delete the game and move on to something else. This game is a one hit wonder destined to go the way of the Dinosaurs. Here today gone tomorrow. One star rating is generous!!!

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-08-26, version 1.20*

Running ads right now on social media, August 2026, that depicts a totally different style with different graphics. Blatant false advertising and the devs are complete trash for doing this

### 1/5 — Utter frustration!

*2026-08-26, version 1.20*

I’ve been playing this game for a while now and I really do like it. But lately it has been extremely glitchy and freezes up all the time. The only way to continue playing is to shut the game down completely and restart. Fortunately, the game gives you the option to start where you left off if you’re cut out of the game. I paid into this game for the events and for tower upgrades, but it’s getting difficult to enjoy it when there are constant problems in the middle of rounds and at the end of rounds as the game stalls out and freezes up…

### 1/5 — Incredible potential ruined by rigged paywalls. Beware.

*2026-08-24, version 1.20*

I typically do not enjoy traditional tower defense games, but this one uniquely blends strategy with a fast-paced, highly addictive Katamari / Hole.io vacuuming mechanic. I was genuinely loving it and having an incredible amount of fun. 

Unfortunately, the developers completely ruined its massive potential with blatant, predatory deception designed to trap paying players.

The moment you spend money, the game flags your account and intentionally spikes the campaign difficulty to force more spending. Worst of all, the drop rates are a flat-out lie. Even as a VIP user, the game completely ignores its own explicitly stated, guaranteed 1-in-6 drop rate for certain key-unlocked chests. On top of that, they run a fake "board game" event that uses completely rigged dice rolls to mask a deceptive, predatory loot crate system. It is heavily rigged to refuse payouts.

My absolute breaking point was the irony of the "Sabotage Event." They pitch it as a fun feature, but it is actually a progression-killing roadblock. It literally sabotages the player by placing barriers over all tower platforms on new maps, stopping you dead in your tracks unless you pay up to bypass them. 

Do not fall into this pitfall. Do not waste your time or money on a game that actively punishes you for supporting it.

### 1/5 — Great Game, But Events Feel Rigged and Unbalanced

*2026-08-21*

::Update::

After the last event, I have decided to quit. I do not play rigged games. If you’re going have prizes, people should be able to with them through normal gameplay. Unfortunately, this felt rigged and wasted my resources and time.
—————————————

I genuinely enjoy Alien vs Zombie overall. The core gameplay is fun, progression feels rewarding, and I’ve invested a lot of time into building my towers. Most of my towers are in the upper 40s to low 50s, so I’ve put in serious effort.

However, the recent Gachapon Workshop event (Rocket Swarm UFO upgrade) feels extremely unbalanced. The spin system appears heavily weighted toward the worst prizes. Despite spending at least 750 crystals every single day for extra spins, I’m nowhere near the 40,000 goal. That kind of crystal investment should feel meaningful, but instead it feels discouraging.

This isn’t my first event either. I previously earned the Black Hole Tower (level 20) and the Fire Ballista (level 32). Both are supposed to be impressive, high-tier towers — but compared to my other towers in the 40–50 range, they’re extremely weak. On top of that, they can’t really be upgraded outside of events. Even finishing in the top 100 barely gives enough to meaningfully improve them. The events themselves cost a fortune in crystals, which makes the whole system feel unsustainable.

The base game is solid, and I want to keep enjoying it. But the event structure and reward balancing need serious adjustments. If players are going to invest time and premium currency, the rewards should feel achievable and worthwhile — not rigged or artificially throttled.

I hope the developers reconsider the balance because the game has real potential

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback — we really appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining your experience.

We want to reassure you that all spins and rewards in the game are fully random. There is no intentional manipulation or rigging to reduce your rewards. That said, we completely understand how the current event structure and reward pacing can feel frustrating, especially when you’re investing premium currency and trying to progress.

Your feedback about event balance, tower strength, and the cost of extra spins is very valuable. We’re taking it seriously and will be looking at ways to make events feel more rewarding and achievable without undermining the core gameplay.

We hope you’ll continue to enjoy the base game, as your dedication and feedback are important to us. Thank you again for helping us improve the game — your observations will help shape future updates.

### 1/5 — Игра не загружается

*2026-08-19*

После определенного уровня, обновления не подгружаются, и это уж длиться 3 месяца. А так увлекательно. Играть только нельзя.

### 1/5 — Stinks

*2026-08-05, version 1.19*

Game is glitching like crazy and in order to notify them you have to give up your email so they can go sell that as well

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-03, version 1.19*

The game won’t let me upgrade towers

### 1/5 — Bugs & money-grab

*2026-08-03, version 1.19*

Game keeps bugging. Have to pay weekly if you want an enjoyable game

### 1/5 — Game is not working

*2026-08-02, version 1.19*

I get stuck with the amount of cubes. I am not allowed to use them to level up. So it’s showing I’m the limit with towers at 15. I ended the game and this is the 4th time today it’s doing this. I have no update. It’s frustrating. Please fix

### 5/5 — Addicted!

*2026-08-28*

Can’t stop playing. Great variety of activities, levels are well balanced in their difficulty increases, and just a refreshing and fun experience. 🩷

### 5/5 — すごく良心的、そしてBGMが好き

*2026-08-24*

初めはすぐ消すだろうと思いつつダウンロードしましたが、長く続いています。広告がうざいと思ったことは一度もないです。強制広告はないのかもしれません。

私はどんなゲームでもBGMをオフしてしまうのですが、このゲームだけはBGMが心地よくてONのままプレイしてます。チルいというか、ゆったりおしゃれな曲が多いです。そこが一番気に入ってるところです。

課金せずに遊んでるのでなかなかステージクリアできませんが、ちゃんと成長もするので行き詰まるということはないです。楽しいです！

ありがとう!(´▽｀)

### 5/5 — 업뎃하고

*2026-08-24*

업뎃하고 개끈킴 심지어 접속이안댐

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23*

This game is SO good, easy to play & runs beautifully. There are so many different ways to play it really keeps it interesting. I would love object rush to be able to be played more. Overall this is a very solid game. I am 44 and have gamed my entire life. I keep the VIP on on this and have spent a ridiculous amount of money on it over the year or so that I have had it and i usually dont spend money on games at all. I would buy this for my xbox on day one if they made it. I would LOVE to play this game with a joystick.

### 5/5 — Sign in rewards needs to be fixed

*2026-08-13*

Need to fix your daily sign in rewards options as no matter what time you sign in, it doesn’t acknowledge it

### 5/5 — Forced Pay Scheme

*2026-08-08*

I really do think this game is outstanding. Sincerely. It stands out from practically every other game I’ve played, in great ways! 

Which is why it pains me to say I’ve discovered a forced pay scheme. If you ever want to gain an extra weapon, the designers have made it so that no matter what you do, you can’t do it without paying. You might think if you save up lots of crystals and coins, you can do it for no real money, but they’ve designed it so that, as you get closer to the 40,000 needed to win the EM-Railgun for example, ways that enable you to roll dice continue to be disabled. Eventually, when you’re so close (e.g. 37,000) you can only roll more by purchasing, with real money, ways to roll the dice. Even that, I’m not willing to do, because the dice don’t roll randomly, they’re outcome-controlled and I could spend $10 and the designers might’ve made it so no one gets a railgun unless you spend $25, and there’d be no way to know until you do. 

I respect designers who create true random/luck games, not manipulation for the player to get so close only to be told—Pay us or go no further in this game we made you believe is “chance.” I mean c’mon….

### 5/5 — Pretty damn cool

*2026-08-07, version 1.19b*

Look I’m 48 yrs old and I even like playing this game. The graphics are really cool and there isn’t anything you really have to think to hard about but it’s just fun.

### 5/5 — Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion

*2026-08-06, version 1.19b*

Fun updated and engaging

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-03, version 1.19*

Great game! So much going on in the game. A little hard to navigate most things and there is so much to remember. But I’m definitely exploring as much as I can.
