Awesome!!

Ever since I found out this game I play it everyday!! Very fun and I recommend it. Maybe add a bit more stages and heroes and the ads are quite long but other than that it’s good (update) I feel like the new endless heroes mode is way to unbalanced and hard, it’s practically impossible to get past night 3 with max difficulty. Maybe make the difficulty a little easier because getting the rewards in the new mode is like hell.

Frustrated

My kids started playing this game in our car so naturally I joined in to get all the crowns. It’s just difficult enough to get you frustrated when they capture the princess that now I can’t stop playing it. 🤣
