### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2023-02-27*

I love how sweet the girl is and she’s really funny! The setting is pretty and the gameplay is smooth, well made and relaxing.

### 4/5 — High hopes

*2021-05-03, version 1.4.725*

I have high hopes for this game! Hasn’t downloaded yet, so slow!

### 1/5 — DOESN'T OPEN

*2021-04-23, version 1.4.725*

Crashes immediately on iPad Air 2 w/ iOS 10.3.1

### 5/5 — neat

*2021-01-18, version 1.4.725*

interesting concept.

### 1/5 — Ruined after recent update

*2020-10-23, version 1.4.713*

Been an avid TD player for decades, and fell in LOVE when this game released. A few incentives purchasable that’ll make the game a bit easier, but not necessary for game completion. After making my way through the campaign and most of the side missions/online stuff, we were hit with a fairly large update, and this is where things went downhill.

Everything was redesigned around forcing the player to spend $$ or “view ads” if they wanted to compete. The online portion is just a leaderboard showing the highest score/wave on a selected daily mission. Some levels allow the use of “lanterns” that give your towers a fairly huge buff to the ones within the lanterns radius. To unlock some of these lanterns, you HAVE to view ads.... sometimes, more than one. THEN if you want to upgrade certain lanterns, you need to watch 20-40 ads! Not all require ads though, the others need 2 different types of in-game currency “paper” and “gold”.... and of course, the most useful lanterns, require gold, which the game does reward you with through normal play.... however the amount rewarded is no where near enough to satiate the amount required to upgrade these lanterns.

After a full run through on normal difficulty, depending on how well you do after each mission (you only get rewarded once), you’d find yourself with roughly 200-300 gold. To “unlock” some lanterns, you’ll need anywhere from 120-800 gold. Now to “upgrade” these lanterns, you’re able to use your gold in increments of 10.... with the maximum amount of gold for this lantern being 6,000. And that’s just for ONE lantern! There are over a dozen of them.

Take that, along with the menu freezing randomly, and the game forcing you to start from scratch if you ever need to reinstall.... and that’s what brought this once-before 5* TD game down to a 1*

**EDIT**
Tried to get in touch with developer to see if they plan on addressing error codes popping up when trying to enter Endless mode.... of course, 2 weeks later, no response.

No support, terrible replayability, p2w.... it’s a shame, because the game “was” great....

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-10-08, version 1.4.709*

What a treat. So refreshing.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2020-09-29, version 1.3.690*

Incredibly fun with beautiful visuals. I only wish I could play on both my iPhone and iPad without having two separate saves!

### 4/5 — Awesome and detailed but, overheating

*2020-09-26, version 1.3.690*

I loved lots of the art and graphics of the game, but as I expected from the 360°, it overheats like crazy for my phone.

### 5/5 — Fix the game

*2020-07-23, version 1.2.620*

Everytime I tried to play the first level it crashes! please fix it.

### 4/5 — It’s interesting.

*2020-07-17, version 1.2.620*

If you like to zone out 👌🏼
Pretty graphics.
