### 5/5 — No ads

*2026-04-19, version 1.6*

Good TD game, no ads which is always nice. I find that the difficulty is the same no matter what you put it on, but that’s the only issue, cool game!

### 5/5 — The good days

*2025-09-10, version 1.6*

The memories 😭😭

### 5/5 — It’s not a bad game you’re just bad

*2024-05-03, version 1.6*

At first it was frustrating but it’s more strategical than anything because you don’t have a lot of coins you can legit lose your run because you didn’t waste your coins or place things in the right place, and that’s why I like the game so much.

### 5/5 — Hannah

*2024-01-09, version 1.6*

I love this game as much as minecraft but I like minecraft a little bit more,Hannah

### 5/5 — Best game ever could do with some extra modes though

*2023-02-02, version 1.6*

A+++++ amazing game

### 5/5 — Best Defense Game

*2021-12-26, version 1.6*

Far superior to the majority of defense games because you create the path. Seems impossible to win on difficult level, but it’s definitely possible once you figure out the essential path design components and how to conserve tools. Challenging and enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Garden Defence

*2021-08-01, version 1.6*

Tough game.  Addictive 😊

### 5/5 — This is still better than the earlier version!

*2021-06-18, version 1.6*

I love how you have to create your path on your own. This gives me to think more compare to the earlier version which I find it a little too predictable, i mean you can already see the path where they are going. This one is for definitely for the win. If you love puzzles that really makes you think. This is for you.

### 3/5 — Impossible to win

*2020-12-25, version 1.6*

Cant afford plants enough to kill insects. 
A redesign would be nice.

### 4/5 — Hard

*2020-09-09, version 1.6*

Seems very hard to complete, but totally addictive and fun
