### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-11, version 1.6.0*

This game I still have on my old IPhone 4s, which still works , it was much harder, this new nerfed version plays choppier, and is way too easy. I can only hope the new version gets improved on with updates, otherwise I lost my second investment.

### 3/5 — Wish for infinity level

*2026-06-17, version 1.6.0*

Great game, always loved it, but miss the infinity level

### 4/5 — Love it, but flawed

*2026-05-09, version 1.6.0*

The gameplay is great for short bursts of fun, and repeated playing is very satisfying. However, the levels are not graded appropriately. Easy levels can be almost impossible and hard levels incredibly easy. There was a previous incarnation which was much harder, I seem to remember.

### 4/5 — A welcome albeit flawed revival

*2026-03-16, version 1.6.0*

Good to see this one’s been brought back. Sadly missing a couple of features of the original (eg you can’t tap an enemy to prioritise it for targeting), and some of the “hard” levels are now far too easy.

### 4/5 — Thank you

*2025-12-26, version 1.6.0*

GeoDefense and Monument Valley are my favorite games. So glad this game is working again on newer devices. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Not sure if same as original- maybe so, but maybe not

*2025-12-20, version 1.6.0*

Great game.  Great memories.  That said, it’s as if the entire Hard levels are easier than the easy levels.  I’m not going to say that I recall whether that’s true to the original, or not.   I don’t recall it being that way.  However, I will say that it is disappointing nonetheless and reduces the quality of the game.  

It gets 4 stars from me solely due to nostalgia, since i’m happy to have it back. I’d give it 3 stars otherwise.

### 3/5 — Buggy port of original app

*2025-12-04, version 1.6.0*

Most of it works but several bugs make it a bit disappointing.  Most annoying is that in some levels the difficulty and or increase in attacking waves does not happen.   In one particular level with 40 waves you see the exact same 4 creeps over and over for the last several waves, making it easy to beat, and boring. This was not how the original was.

### 3/5 — Such a good game, but outdated

*2025-10-08, version 1.6.0*

This game is awesome! But it has not been updated since 2 years, I would love to have new worlds and levels/towers.

### 5/5 — Shoulda zagged impossible

*2025-10-04, version 1.6.0*

Thanks for bringing this game back! Shoulda zagged seems impossible now though

### 2/5 — Broken level

*2025-09-02, version 1.6.0*

Easy level 6 - Shoulda zagged is broken. I have yet to find a viable way to complete this one. There are medium levels that are far easier. It seems to start slow, which prevents you from getting upgrades. Then the creeps start pouring in on the third wave. Online walkthroughs seem to show a smaller level where the blaster is able to cover more area, but that’s not how my version of the level looks.

### 4/5 — Super das es wieder da ist, aber.

*2025-08-20, version 1.6.0*

Eins der besten Spiele die ich bislang gespielt hab. Allerdings muss ich sagen das die schweren Level zu einfach sind. Da habe ich in der Original Version oft lange dran gesessen diente lösen, in dieser Version ist das fast schon zu einfach.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-07-30, version 1.6.0*

The most underrated tower defense game on the app store. Truly one of the best. Art.

### 4/5 — Great, for 30 levels

*2025-07-20, version 1.6.0*

The game is beautiful and almost flawless as a TD game. The only thing that kept it from 5 ⭐️’s is there are only 30 levels. If the developer is only going to have such a limited number of levels, include a level builder.

### 5/5 — So fun and addicting

*2025-06-28, version 1.6.0*

One of my fav games of all time. The challenging ones are so fun to try and come up with different strategies

### 5/5 — This made my year

*2025-05-14, version 1.6.0*

Thank you so much for this app! Love this and sharing it with my friends from back in the day

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-03-25, version 1.6.0*

Too hard

### 1/5 — Embarrassing copy

*2026-03-22, version 1.6.0*

Maybe it’s been a while since I played the original, but this one seems sluggish and poorly balanced. Most units are too far apart for splash to do anything, improper target prioritization, missed shots

Can’t restore purchases from previous version? Is this one going to be removed and I have to buy them again when it’s remastered again?

### 1/5 — IOS version not good

*2025-12-26, version 1.6.0*

The IOS version is near impossible to beat even on the easiest levels! This isn’t fun to play. Downloaded it yesterday, paid for the full version and already deleted it off the phone today. Simply unplayable unless you want to grind easy levels over and over only to always fail.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2025-10-27, version 1.6.0*

It’s ridiculous that you have to pay to lock more than just the first few levels.

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2025-07-25, version 1.6.0*

There’s some sort of glitch. Some levels are ridiculously easy… to the point where it’s obviously a mistake.

### 1/5 — Remake misslungen!

*2025-03-02, version 1.6.0*

Damals schon auf dem iPhone 3 gespielt und geliebt. Das hier ist ein misslungener Remake. Die Grafik ist pixelig und das gameplay nicht so ausgewogen wie damals. Man fliegt nur so durch die Levels und hat die 30 Level Ruck zuck durchgespielt. Null Herausforderung. Verstehe die positiven Bewertungen nicht! Schade, war so ein geiles Spiel. Ich bereue die 6€!!

### 1/5 — 업뎃안함??

*2025-02-01, version 1.6.0*

유료어플인데 몇년을 업뎃없이 뭐함?

### 1/5 — Way too easy

*2024-12-31, version 1.6.0*

Love to see this game restored! It was the best tower defense.  Unfortunately the medium and hard levels weren’t hard at all.  Often times I’d win on the first try without much effort.  The original was quite challenging and I don’t think I made it past the medium levels but this one was so easy it wasn’t even fun any more by the end.

### 1/5 — Unbalanced

*2024-12-26, version 1.6.0*

This game started out fun then quickly became either way to easy or way to hard. The game is very unbalanced. Sometimes you are struggling for any money because the kill bonus remains to low for to long other times you have way to much money making the level way to easy. It just needs better growth and difficulty curve and it could be a pretty good game.

### 1/5 — Pale imitation

*2024-09-28, version 1.6.0*

Lacks the charm, sparkle and polish of the original game because it appears to have nothing to do with the original game. This appearance of passing off isn’t helped by the App Store aging a 2+ year old 1.0 release as 9+ year listing. If I’m wrong and there is a roadmap of continual improvement then I’ll be happy to see it and revise my rating, but when the author can’t decide whether the game is called ‘Geodefense’ or ‘Geodefence’ I remain unconvinced.

Brilliant to see this return I had no idea please bring swarm back!

Best classic tower defense.  Been playing it since 2012

### 5/5 — Please make a sequel

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.0*

Love the abstract design, quirky puzzle making, range of strategic problems, and difficulty curve. More please!

### 5/5 — I’m only writing a title because I have to.

*2026-06-14, version 1.6.0*

For a retro game, this is great! I always loved games like this.

### 5/5 — Please come back :’(

*2026-03-01, version 1.6.0*

This was my first ever tower defence game and still remains my favourite. I wish I could play it on modern day iOS devices and iPad os.

### 5/5 — Since ever

*2025-12-17, version 1.6.0*

Great like before!

### 5/5 — Geo defence

*2025-12-16, version 1.6.0*

Great game just like I remember. Needs harder levels, seems easier than before. Plus can we get geo defence swarm!!!

### 5/5 — Most fun game

*2025-11-25, version 1.6.0*

I used to play game on the windows phone and was delighted to see it on the iPhone. Hours of fun!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-23, version 1.6.0*

Great, entertaining game

### 5/5 — Still satisfying!

*2025-10-28, version 1.6.0*

I played this years ago on iPhone 3, I think—so glad to have found it again!  Gaming Zen for me.  Simple, colorful, satisfying.
