It’s name will be knife cutter when it attacks it will damage gingerbread by trying to slice them into half And they need about five puzzle pieces to get oh and I think the next map should be the castle and the boss is the king he will start to spawn mini queens when he has a quarter health left when the king is at half health. It will spawn gun shooters that studs towers for three seconds when he has 3 quarters of health, he will start to throw his crown and it will freeze a tower for five seconds the cookies will look like a cookie with a shield on it when the king has full health, he will spawn gingerbread from different worlds I also have a death animation when the king dies he will lose an arm first then he will lose a leg then he will just crumble into pieces also if he’s not killed quickly then a random gingerbread will make it closer to the secret recipe. Also, I was thinking about adding some things that they don’t take damage from like poison. These are only for bosses. and the king will say something because a tree will fall on him he will say this: this is not the last you see me! And when the king has 1000 health left, then he will start to put towers that attack your towers. The King’s Towers are really, really red plus when the king has no mini queens left to spawn that he will start to put normal sized queens and I think the fifth world should be the future. The boss will be a giant gingerbread robot I want a tower that summons copies of bad gingerbread but the starting place for good gingerbread is the secret recipe and they will try to get to the portal because they will go to the previous world like if they were on world 4 and they reached the portal then they will go to world 3 and that tower will be popsicle spawner it’s the summoner that will summon good gingerbread to fight the bad gingerbread to unlock a new good gingerbread you need to kill that bad gingerbread for the first time. Also, I want a tower that produces you money and that is gonna be the cookie farm every time you collect a cookie it gives you money you have to click on the tower to see how much money you get each cookie every time you upgrade the cookie farm you will get 25 more money each cookie when you place it every cookie cost $100 I have a animation to get into world 5 suddenly the castle starts to collapse and then little bit start to come, and then the floor starts to crack and then…CRACK! The whole floor falls then they go into the portal, which travels them to world 5 I also have some other animations to get into the next world next one is getting to world four suddenly a huge dinosaur knocks everyone into the gingerbread castle next one is to get the world 3 the ship starts to crack, and then the path starts to crack and then… they fallen into the dinosaur age next one is to get the world 2 everyone gets into the ship by a spring and some gingerbread stay in the kitchen. ### 4/5 — @e2n *2024-11-29, version 110* My kids love it ### 3/5 — Just one fix *2023-09-04* Best game ever I downloaded it and now I’m addicted but is there a way to merge your defenses ### 4/5 — Lots of potential *2023-06-23* To be honest the game is quite good as it is. I just m wish some things like being able to level up more than one level at a time and having short descriptions of what some things do and this game could be a lot better. ### 5/5 — Just download it and I am already in love *2023-05-02* Love the game!I do want the upgrades to make the towers look cooler ### 5/5 — Tds are amazing *2023-01-16, version 99* This game is so good ### 5/5 — Good gameplay *2022-11-27, version 99* $;$;&&;&,&,&&,,&&,&. ### 5/5 — Needs cloudsave feature *2022-11-24* Wanted: Needs cloudsave experience. Couldn't have a Google Play account to have these new features? Deleting and reinstalling the app may lose the progress they need. Plus, the iOS version on this one for Game Centre for better progress experience. Please add this one! :-) Caroline Kim Nguyen ### 3/5 — Game is a bit stale *2022-08-01* It may sound cool but it isn’t really… the gameplay gets repetitive quickly and soon you would just stop playing, not meaning to be rude but this game had potential but slipped off the edge. You are great but honestly… this game isn’t getting much more popular. Anyways maybe add more mechanics to keep the game from falling apart ### 5/5 — Good *2022-07-06, version 99* I like it ### 5/5 — Good Game *2022-06-06* I’ve been playing for a while and i haven’t got ANY ads yet. And this game is just so fun and addictive. This game is also unique. 10/10 (I’ll update it when I play more.) ### 5/5 — This game bro… *2022-05-04* This game is amazing! I love the way it looks, the designs are creative, and the towers are super cool! This is my favorite tower defense game by far, but I do wish u could add more variety’s of cookies tho, (just a thought!) ### 5/5 — Geil *2022-04-09* Dieses Spiel hat mir wieder die Lust zum Leben gegeben und kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Doch brauche ich mehr Updates, und ich glaube das ich nicht der einzige bin mit dieser Meinung. PS: bin jetzt schon bei Stufe 1000 oder so;) ### 3/5 — Latest update not good *2022-04-05* Now the store page always has ! on it, even after claiming free stuff. Also marks various items unavailable if you close and open game to try to get rid of annoying exclamation point. Updates heading the wrong direction IMHO. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-04-05* Me and my cousins play this game so much we love it please add more towers. Also add more areas. ### 5/5 — Best td game imo *2022-02-10* I was surprised when I started playing this game lol, it’s really addictive and love the fact that you can play offline as well so great on road trips and travelling on plane. Don’t really need to spend money (p2w, pay to win) which is amazing but it does have it if you can’t wait. Keep up the good work and after seeing how you designed this game I’m gonna to check out to see if you have other games like this because I couldn’t fault it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad update *2022-02-17* New update took away all the cards I had, which was a ton. This was the app that will go down as the one that convinced me to never spend again. To take away all VIP bonuses and remove all that people potentially paid for in cards(or even if they got them free) is crazy. Never have I felt an app cared less about the people playing. Usually there’s at least a half donkeyed gift to apologize from pay to play apps when they rob you like that. ### 1/5 — Typical cash cow *2022-01-14* Can't give minus. A subscription and STILL adverts? My time is for gaming NOT watching ads, if I subscribe I certainly dint expect more ads. AVOID and don't encourage greed. ### 1/5 — ต้องการเงินคืน *2021-02-03, version 58* หักเงินไม่บอกนึกจะหักก็หักเลย ### 1/5 — Still Really Awful *2021-01-28* So this game is terrible but has been update to include not only a subscription the developer believes is worth £259.48 per year, but now a super reduced and yet still laughably ridiculous £143.88 per year option. How anyone could think this game has any value will remain a mystery. ### 1/5 — ถถ *2021-01-27, version 53* เล่นไม่ได้ด้วยซ้ำ ### 1/5 — อย่าโหลด!!!! *2021-01-11, version 53* เตือนแล้วนะ ### 1/5 — High Reviews Are Lies *2020-12-19* This is the worst, most boring and useless game EVER! Even worse, once started there is no escape; no “home” option, no pause option, no quit option. I almost sprained my fingers in a desperate attempt to close and delete the app fast enough. Highly repetitive, non-challenging and lazily constructed. A giant waste of time. Spare yourself. ### 2/5 — Need to login *2021-08-16, version 73* ต้องการการเชื่อต่อบัญชี facebook หรือ email ก็ได้ ### 2/5 — Would of done 5 but *2021-01-19* Would of done five star but it don’t stop, it get abit boring to ### 2/5 — Mediocre *2020-12-20* There isn’t much do to I’m this game. Upgrades don’t feel substantial, there are not many towers and many are locked behind a pay wall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST APP *2025-04-10, version 110* I was good it ### 5/5 — It’s good *2024-09-03, version 99* It’s good ### 5/5 — This is the best game *2024-07-31* Best game ever I hope it will win ### 5/5 — Good *2024-05-15, version 99* Game ### 5/5 — 😁😁😃 *2024-04-16* This game is so good that I’m gonna spend all my hard earned savings on this ### 5/5 — New tower *2023-12-12, version 99* Add the candy tower! ### 5/5 — Bom *2023-12-02* Bom ### 5/5 — เล่นดี *2023-09-23, version 99* ลองเล่นใน iPad ดูสิลื่นมาก ### 5/5 — Td1!1!1!!!!1!1!1!!!1!1!!1!1!11!1!!1 *2023-06-04* I luv TD Gamess!1!1!1!!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!!1!1!1!11!!11!!1! ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-05-13, version 99* This is a great game so I want a tower a good cookie It Summons cookies to fight the bad cookies --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
