### 3/5 — Game needs work.

*2023-06-17*

A limit to how much units you can place is ridiculous, because later levels have more tougher enemies.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2022-01-22*

This is kind of like a game of chess with a lot more action. Selecting the correct fighters and arranging them is so much fun. The developer deserves a tremendous amount of credit. Really this is a masterpiece. I would be willing to pay handsomely for a similar game that plays just exactly as the stars but is somehow different. maybe a sequel or playing in a different environment. The last few years I have probably played two hundreds rounds. I have completed the game many times and it is a blast to try to figure out which fighters belong where and how to use them.  Thank you so much for this fantastic game.

### 2/5 — Impossible

*2021-07-07*

When I got to 13 I had no way to beat it bad game

### 5/5 — Fix the sound!

*2021-06-28*

Fix the sound! I put it on silent and it dose not work I am trying to watch a movie here!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Level 13 is impossible

*2020-06-13*

Was fun for the first few levels, but once you get to 13, it’s ridiculous. The unit cap and low money available means you dont have enough units to beat the tougher enemies and get through the second wave.

### 3/5 — READ!!!

*2020-03-27*

Please allow the player to interact with the defenders. Also it would be great if you could make a custom so that the players could create their own matches. Finally, more types of defenders and more levels......

### 1/5 — Put sandbox!

*2020-03-18*

THIS GAME WOULD BE BETTR WITH A SANDBOX PLEAS

### 3/5 — Good

*2020-01-11*

Good game

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-12-08*

When I was in 29 and I beat it it kick me out of the game so it a 1 star

### 1/5 — Nope

*2019-10-29*

This game is just a waste of time with more ads than levels. Doesn’t give hints, can’t skip levels, TOO OVERPOWERED ENEMYS AND EXPENCIVE UNITS!
