### 2/5 — As fun as throwing a rock in the sky and catching it with your face

*2026-08-20, version 1.18.1*

Feels like they want you to spend money on the game

### 4/5 — New season plz

*2026-08-14, version 1.18.1*

Love this game but I’ve been waiting months for a new season. Also good you give a fun way to collect more bullets? Plz and thank you

### 2/5 — Annoying ad

*2026-08-13*

Game is good and balanced, especially parts 1-3. But the amount of ads is absolutely crazy. Deleted

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the balance of the early stages, but we’re sorry the number of ads became frustrating enough to make you uninstall the game. We’ll share your feedback with the team. 🙏🎮

### 3/5 — Potential

*2026-08-09, version 1.18.1*

Game has potential but the maps/UI are clunky. Can not hide certain icons that pop and end up in the players way. Ads after each game is incredibly annoying. Cant see what the next wave of enemies are, no way to plan accordingly which defeats the purpose of strategy.

### 3/5 — Rather buy than have ads

*2026-08-02*

Way to many ads. I’d rather pay a few quid because the game itself is a lot of fun but spoilt by excessive ads. I love a tower defence and this is just a bit different but the ads make it the same as all the rest

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the game, but we’re sorry excessive ads are hurting the experience. We’ll share your comments about ad frequency and a paid ad-free option with the team. We hope future improvements earn your 5-star rating. 🙏🎮

### 2/5 — Good to begin with

*2026-07-25*

Season 1&2 are good. But the levels become so hard, it just encourages pay to play. I don't want to play the same level multiple times to work out the one strategy that will work.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the later levels feel overly difficult and repetitive. The game should reward strategy without making progress feel dependent on payments or finding only one exact solution. We’ll share your feedback about the difficulty balance with the team and hope future improvements earn your 5-star rating. 🙏🎮

### 3/5 — CR

*2026-07-12, version 1.17.0*

This is designed to be nearly impossible. Even after paying for ad-free, the game is constantly trying to upsell you on paying for upgrades. It’s lame.

### 3/5 — Обман

*2026-07-09*

За просмотр рекламы не дают дополнительные деньги

**Developer response:** Нам жаль, что награда за просмотр рекламы не начисляется. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с поддержкой через игру и отправьте скриншот или видео проблемы и ID игрока. Мы постараемся разобраться и надеемся заслужить вашу оценку в 5 звёзд. 🙏🎮

### 3/5 — Talent meets greed

*2026-05-21, version 1.14.0*

This game was literally designed to get you hooked on season 1, so when you got to season 2 mission 12 they get you to a stage thats IMPOSSIBLE without spending money. The game is real good too which is a shame.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-05-14*

The game doesn’t build in any real way, the towers are always the same and there are upgrade checks on towers where the level is unbeatable without a specific tower upgrade, most of which use bullets not money so you can’t grind to acquire what you need. You don’t get enough bullets to fully upgrade your towers and each season you have to start over from scratch with the exact same towers but new artwork… not terrible but with no path to completion it’s time to look elsewhere.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback 🙏 We understand your concerns about progression, upgrades, and season resets. Our goal is to create a challenging long-term strategy experience, and your comments help us improve balance and future content decisions. We truly appreciate your support and hope to earn your 5 stars in the future 🌸🎮

### 1/5 — Good game but bugs introduced recently

*2026-04-10*

The spotlight update is challenging and feels a little like a force to buy power updates. But it’s manageable without buying if you spend time farming for bullets in Train Mode. 
Unfortunately, Train Mode is now exhibiting bugs. The scenario with the rectangular road in the middle (with tents) now freezes every time level 17 is completed. It will not advance to level 18 no matter how long you wait. This means you can’t complete Train Mode and get the bullet rewards, so it does feel like it might be an intentional slow down on farming bullets. 
Other than that, gameplay is fun and there are good challenges, but you definitely need some bullets to complete some of the levels so you either have to buy them or farm them.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your detailed feedback 🙏 We understand your concerns. The Train Mode freeze at lvl 17 is a bug and not intentional—we’re investigating it. We’re also working on balance. Appreciate your support and hope you’ll consider 5 stars 🌟🎮

### 1/5 — Отстой

*2026-04-07*

Без доната не пройти.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв 🙏 Понимаем вашу точку зрения. Игра проходима без доната, но требует стратегии и терпения. Мы работаем над улучшением баланса. Надеемся, вы дадите игре ещё шанс и, возможно, 5 звёзд 🌟🎮

### 4/5 — 5 сезон левел 11

*2026-04-07*

Мало денег на улучшение дают,со слабыми пушками нереально пройти,хотя все предыдущие уровни на 3 звезды 
А деньги накопленные с предыдущих сезонов девать некуда,просто лежат

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв 🙏 Понимаем проблему с ресурсами и балансом. Работаем над улучшением наград и возможностью использовать накопленные средства. Ваше мнение важно. Надеемся, вы дадите игре ещё шанс и, возможно, 5 звёзд 🌟🎮

### 2/5 — Anuncios

*2026-04-04, version 1.12.0*

Cuando lo ponen a ver anuncios se queda en el anuncio sin más opcion que cerrar el juego para volver a entrar, y si era para duplicar las ganancias de la victorias, pierdes todo ya que tienes que cerrarla.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No reason to make the game if youre pushing people to spend real $ just to beat a level…

*2026-07-29, version 1.18.0*

You should be able to beat this game without using power ups or spending bullets… kinda ridiculous that you have to use that stuff when that means you have to get 3 stars or spend real $$. not happening when you cant beat a round without the ‘free’ towers etc. Fix this. ESP season 3 battle 14-15-16-17. If regular towers cant do the job then whats the point? Theres no space to build w stupid boulders in the way, NO opportunity to earn bullets without compelting missions already completed.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-07-28, version 1.18.0*

I bought the vip pass because my savings jars were full. It gave me the cash but not the 390 bullets. I thought it was a fluke so kept going and tried to redeem another 100. It didn’t give them to me again!!! I messaged tech support and never got a response. Why pay for things when you don’t get what you pay for. I would happily change my review if tech support actually talked to me and fixed the issues.

### 1/5 — Ивент

*2026-07-23*

Ивент в июле только начался и после первой миссии закончился🥲

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв 🙏 Понимаем проблему с ресурсами и балансом. Работаем над улучшением наград и возможностью использовать накопленные средства. Ваше мнение важно. Надеемся, вы дадите игре ещё шанс и, возможно, 5 звёзд 🌟🎮

### 1/5 — Nauseating ads

*2026-06-29, version 1.17.0*

The game is fun, but the ads are a HUGE waste of time and a nightmare. I think someone who wrote this game might be sleeping with the owner of Kingshot. I don’t want that app, I don’t need that app, and I don’t need to see ten minutes of it between each game segment.

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2026-06-21, version 1.16.1*

It starts out fun and easy enough but after about 10 levels you can’t progress without spending real cash or spending an enormous amount of time. Even then there are multiple in game currencies and some can only be acquired with real money. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2026-05-29*

After certain levels you are stuck and have to purchase

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback 🙏 We understand that some stages can feel very challenging. Our goal is to create a strategic experience where planning, tower combinations, and upgrades play an important role, while purchases remain optional. We appreciate your feedback and hope to earn your 5 stars in the future 🌸🎮

### 1/5 — Endless ads still not fixed

*2026-05-21, version 1.14.0*

When I say endless ads, I don’t mean seemingly endless, I mean they freeze up and you’re gonna have to restart the game and lose your defense progress. Just horrific. Add to this levels that are impossible to beat and designed to make you spend money. No longer worth it.

### 1/5 — Ad Free

*2026-05-15, version 1.14.0*

I purchased the ad free version and still get ads. Don’t buy.

### 1/5 — Unbalanced, buggy, cashgrab

*2026-04-22*

Balance katastrophal. Einfach überall sniper Türme bauen und jedes Level ist geschafft. 
Dazu bugs die es ermöglichen unbegrenzt Türme auf die gleiche Stelle zu bauen. Aber immerhin gibt’s einen großen ingame Shop und Werbung.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein ehrliches Feedback 🙏 Hinweise zu Balance und dem Tower-Bug sind sehr hilfreich. Wir prüfen das und arbeiten an Verbesserungen. Danke, dass du dir Zeit genommen hast. Hoffentlich gibst du uns noch eine Chance und 5 Sterne 🌟🎮

### 1/5 — Endless ads

*2026-04-20, version 1.14.0*

When I say endless ads, I don’t mean seemingly endless, I mean they freeze up and you’re gonna have to restart the game and lose your defense progress. Just horrific.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-06-21, version 1.16.1*

Años jugando me encanta

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-29, version 1.15.1*

This is really good.

### 5/5 — Bon Tower défense sans prétention

*2026-05-14*

Le jeu est sympa, la difficulté augmente de niveau en niveau rendant rendant chaque niveau différents, et donc pas trop redondant. 
Contrairement à beaucoup de jeux, pas d’achat in app quasi obligatoire c’est appréciable. 


Cela dit j’aurai apprécié pouvoir acheter une version sans pub (achat in app par exemple one Time, et non un abonnement comme certain peuvent proposer) ; les pubs sont trop longue à mon goût, elles trop présente si on doit redémarrer un niveau par exemple / ou utiliser un bonus pour se sortir d’une situation difficile.

**Developer response:** Merci pour ton retour détaillé 🌸 Nous sommes ravis que tu apprécies la progression et le challenge du jeu. Les pubs aident notre petite équipe indie à créer plus de contenu, mais nous comprenons qu’elles puissent être longues. Nous prenons note de ton idée pour une version sans pubs et continuerons à chercher le meilleur équilibre. 🎮😊

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2026-05-13*

Игра отличная! Жду 5 часть! Остальные пройдены! Когда обновление с новыми уровнями?
Дополняю.. 5 часть, 18 уровень невозможно пройти …

**Developer response:** Спасибо за тёплый отзыв 🌹🎮! Нам приятно, что вы прошли все уровни и ждёте 5-ю часть. Новые миссии уже в разработке, и мы скоро поделимся обновлениями. Ваш интерес мотивирует нас работать ещё усерднее 🙏.

### 5/5 — No apto para kbros

*2026-05-12, version 1.14.0*

Es un juego bien entretenido me ha gustado desde el primer nivel

### 5/5 — Amei

*2026-05-07*

Esse jogo é viciante, libera mais temporadaaaaaaaaaaaaa

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo carinho 😍 Ficamos felizes que o jogo seja tão divertido para você! Nossa equipe está trabalhando em novas temporadas e desafios. Agradecemos sua paciência e apoio 🎮🌸

### 5/5 — 5 сезон

*2026-03-08*

5 сезон 8 уровень, все пушки прокачаны, без заморозки за донат пройти нереально, вижу уже не первый отзыв про 5 сезон. Надо делать что-то с балансом

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв 🙏 Понимаем проблему с балансом в сезоне 5. Мы работаем над его улучшением, чтобы уровни были проходимы без доната. Спасибо за ваше мнение. Надеемся, вы дадите игре ещё шанс и, возможно, 5 звёзд 🌟🎮

### 5/5 — You need money

*2026-03-03*

No, this is not free game

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback 🙏 The game is free to play, but we understand it can feel restrictive. We’re working on improving balance and rewards so progression feels fair without spending. Your input helps us improve 🎮

### 5/5 — Excellent jeu

*2026-02-24*

Excellent Tower Defense, vraiment, et j’ai connais un rayon sur le sujet ! En revanche la saison 5 est décevante dans la mesure où elle oblige à utiliser beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup d’item… elle ne peut pas être résolue simplement avec les tours… dommage

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour 🙏 Ravi que le jeu vous plaise. Nous comprenons votre point sur la saison 5. Nous travaillons à améliorer l’équilibrage pour rendre les niveaux plus stratégiques et moins dépendants des objets. Merci pour votre soutien 🎮

### 5/5 — Описание проблемы 5 сезона 11 уровень

*2026-02-21*

Во всех сезонах для уничтожения неубиваемых танков была башня с замедлением либо телепорт врагов назад, по другому с ними не справиться. В 11 уровне, нет ничего кроме заморозки за 45 патронов. У меня все башни прокачаны на максимум, но с 15 заморозками я не прошел. Поменяйте воздушную вспышку или небесную ярость на телепорт. Должно помочь. Спасибо

**Developer response:** Спасибо за честный отзыв и поддержку 🙏 Сезон 5 (ур.11) уже в списке проверки баланса — хотим, чтобы проходилось и без доната. VIP должен помогать, но не «ломать» честность. Если можете, напишите ваш уровень/апгрейды и где именно стопорит — это ускорит фиксы. 🎮
