### 5/5 — Hamster

*2022-08-03*

I like the game it’s cool

### 3/5 — Fun but has a bug

*2018-01-09*

Fun game. Classic tower defense game with some good implementation of point system. However seems a bit buggy. One of the enemies later on just doesn’t seem to register on any of my guns, so it passes through completely unharmed. This inevitably causes a loss.

**Developer response:** I apologize for the confusion, but I believe you're actually referring to one of the game mechanics; Towers cannot destroy enemies of the same color. 

Hope this helps! :D

### 5/5 — Fun!
