I played a level 3 times because the system wasn’t loading. Honestly find a different spot to put the plug. ### 5/5 — Super Fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-11-21* I am so glad I downloaded this! I can’t imagine why anyone would give it a low rating? This is the best tower defense game i’ve played with the added fun of Tetris blocks and merging. No invasive ads. You have to give this a try, I really don’t think you will be disappointed. ### 5/5 — A true descendent of DTD *2025-11-21* I love this game so much! Too many of these games have a fixed path… FINALLY a game that legit feels like DTD!!! ### 5/5 — Great maze tower defense *2025-11-21* Really easy to learn but hard to master tower defense. After a certain level it starts to repeat but still has good replay ability. Hopefully more updates come out. Highly recommend. ### 3/5 — Game crashes with ads *2025-11-20* The game is great except the ads cause the game to crash and my progress doesn’t save. If this gets fixed the game would be great! ### 5/5 — Classic But New *2025-11-19* This game is great, feels like classic TD but also feels original and new. The only thing is that I wish there were more levels! After about 100 levels it starts to repeat previous levels. It’s still fun but does get bland after that. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended! *2025-11-19* This game is amazing! The mix of block-puzzle strategy and tower defense is super fun. Building longer paths, merging blocks, and placing tactical tiles never gets old. Highly recommended! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-11-18* I loved this game but the crashing is too much. At the end of each level, you have to watch an ad, but if you don’t watch the full ad, the game doesn’t recognize you passed the level. The problem is the game is constantly crashing, but only ones playing ads. The rest of the time the game functions normally. After trying the same level over 10 times I’ve given up on the game. ### 4/5 — Excellent, but crashes during ad on level 19 *2025-11-17* Excellent game. Very enjoyable basic TD. Would be a 5 star, but it keeps crashing after I finish level 19 during the ad and making me replay the level. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that, can you please provide your phone's characteristics (phone model and iOS version) for us to find the issue. ### 5/5 — Innnovative *2025-11-14* Interesting and innovative take on the tower defense/base building genre. Really fun game. I have been enjoying it for a time now hope they will keep updating it! ## Frequently asked questions about Blocks & Mobs ### What is Blocks & Mobs?
