High tier defense game using an idea that many kids imagined was happening at night. ### 4/5 — Better than Swamp Attack *2020-05-04* Not too many adds. A little expensive to purchase double coins for $10. Maybe 3.99? ### 5/5 — Get it ! *2020-04-06* The game seemed a bit familiar but Yes get it ! It’s fun and challenging ! You’ll really enjoy it ### 5/5 — Great Fun Game *2019-11-30* This game is well thought of and especially fun...really recommend and shout out to the developer ### 5/5 — Best Game In The Universe *2019-08-05* This game is so much fun to play. I played it last year and always wanted to remember the name because it was so fun so i searched Teddy Defense and i scrolled down and there it was. So much fun thank you for the person who made this game. ### 5/5 — Really fun *2019-07-17, version 1.8* Fun game. Worth the play. ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2019-05-22, version 1.8* It’s quick and fun ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-04-14, version 1.8* Cool play ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-04-09, version 1.8* Nice ### 5/5 — I love this game *2019-01-10, version 1.8* It’s amazing ### 5/5 — Well designed and fun! *2018-09-15* This game is the best combination of cute and fun out there. Shoot enemies, gather new weapons, and challenge yourself to keep your little boy/girl safe from all the things that go bump in the night. 10/10 would throw ice cream cones at bad guys again ### 5/5 — Super Fun *2018-08-12, version 1.8* I’m really enjoying it! ### 5/5 — FUN *2018-07-22* Great defense game, the only thing I dislike is that you have to hold your finger on the target you’re shooting at. Other then that, awesome game! ### 5/5 — Get the game *2018-07-11, version 1.8* So fun and endless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save progress *2025-02-18, version 2.1* Coin and dream ore doesn’t save once you exit the game ### 1/5 — nice *2022-07-11, version 1.8* very nice ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2018-06-13, version 1.8* You have to cover your target with your first meet to aim. This makes the game unplayable because you can’t see if you are hitting the target or missing it. ### 1/5 — Greedy AF *2017-04-26, version 1.7* Decent gameplay, but everywhere you do ANYTHING they are trying to bleed you dry if money. You feel like you have to purchase $20 worth of iap just to upgrade at the speed it progresses, or replay each level 4 times :(. Adds adds adds. Holey crap they want you to watch adds to make things worth your time. Game worth $3 not $20, constant barrage of unwanted popups and adds, they should pay us to play this ### 1/5 — 5 plays and wait *2016-11-17, version 1.0* Beyond fed up with these. This game is laced with iap which I don't mind. I am one to spend real money on upgrades and perks. But these devastating are beyond greedy for only letting you play 5 times and then wait over an hour to do it again or pay money every time. Most 5 star reviews are from developers personal accounts ### 2/5 — Avarace *2019-11-27, version 1.8* Decent game. But the people who made this game are obviously after your money. ### 3/5 — Wont stop loading. *2024-02-01* when trying to get my old progress back it just stays on the stuck on the loading screen Iphone 11 using 5G internet. gave it a good 15 minutes before I gave up. ### 3/5 — No Updates *2019-05-05, version 1.8* Great game but what’s going on with the new content. There’s been no new levels for decades now ### 3/5 — Good game, need minor improvement *2018-01-09, version 1.8* The game is quite fun to play and each levels require a combination of different weapons and power-ups to beat. The levels are generous in gems and I manage to buy 2 ultimate skin packages which is awesome. However, the endless mode does become repetitive after a while. I found a bug where when you use a power-up(happens mostly with ice-cream), suddenly you are not able to shoot any gun and the only way to fix it is to use another power-up(essentially wasting it). Not only that, those premium packages and perks that could double your rewards are quite expensive which I think is not suitable for a game like this. Overall, a good game but not perfect. ### 3/5 — Very good game but... *2016-12-02, version 1.3* I really enjoy this game. I recommend it for anybody who is a fan of defense games. It is challenging and fun. However, I think that the rate at which you are given dream ore should be increased. I find myself watching ads to get double rewards and still receiving only gold coins. I have way too many gold coins compared to dream ore, especially considering how much dream ore you need to upgrade weapons to level 3. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and overall made well *2025-05-16* I think it’s an awesome game, the thing is the pacing kinda feels slow ### 5/5 — Great Fun Game *2025-03-04* This game is well thought of and especially fun...really recommend and shout out to the developer ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-11-02, version 1.8* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-06-17* Ever since “Army of the Darkness Defense” became incompatible with the current iOS I started looking for a new defense game to play during my lunch breaks and found this. It’s fun, cute and best of all not pay to win. My only complaint is there isn’t enough of a story element to it. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Amazing game!!! *2021-05-25, version 1.8* You need this!!! ### 5/5 — Best game I’ve played on my tablet but *2021-04-09* I think you should add a bit more stuff like 1.more levels 2.more wepons 3.MULTIPLAYER it would be so fun if you could face off waves of monsters for huge rewards it would be an homer if you did that ### 5/5 — OMG *2020-10-31* This is literally the best game I have ever played and I have played some really good games!!! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-09-24* Best game that I’ve played in awhile just wish you could unlock skins in the story mode ### 5/5 — One of the best games I have *2020-08-26* Dream defense is a awesome game because you get to choose what weapon do you use in your strategy. You also get to upgrade your weapons. It’s really fun to play and I think you should play it. ### 5/5 — Good game when for boring times. *2020-06-25* Please add more weapons --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
