Enemies randomly change direction and get so strong it doesn’t matter what elaborate path you set up

### 5/5 — And I Oop

A good game to play

### 5/5 — Better than GD2

*2017-08-19, version 1.6*

Love it. Uninstalled due to a glitch but it's fixed now so I got it back. Love that they didn't change the game itself.

### 5/5 — FUN time waster

*2017-08-16, version 1.6*

The graphics are great.  The game play is smooth.  And it is quite challenging even at the easy level.

### 5/5 — YES

*2017-05-16, version 1.6*

I have been searching for the gam for months and I forgot the name of it so I couldn't find it and I thought they took it off the App Store but YAY IT IS STILL HERE. I think it's a really good app, and one you can use without wifi which is really good. And I like how you have high scores and all the different levels. Keep it up! This app is one of my favorites.

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2017-04-15, version 1.6*

Very addicting, I have not seen it glitch once! The makers of this one need a pat on the back for sure!  Love it.

### 4/5 — I love this game

*2017-03-10, version 1.5*

I have been searching for this game for years- I played it at a weekend at a friends house and loved it. Would LOVE to see it updated to the new IOS systems!

### 5/5 — THE best defense game

*2017-01-07, version 1.5*

Very good game to play.

*2016-09-17, version 1.5*

Very fun and easy to learn but hard to master.

### 1/5 — Fundamental issues

*2020-07-30, version 1.6*

I agree with Protato Apr 24 2018, enemies can sneak through places where towers can't be built, can't block them.  Game broke.

### 1/5 — Fundamental Issues

*2018-04-25, version 1.6*

Game is incredibly frustrating because it is impossible to estimate where the gaps are in your line. You can’t build near the edges, and mobs appear to change path randomly or go around what you’ve built for no apparent reason. That should ONLY happen in a TD game if the player has completely blocked the path. Unplayable like this.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2016-09-17, version 1.5*

It does not provide upgrades or different types of characters. It is too boring.

### 1/5 — Wish It was playable

*2016-01-04, version 1.5*

I really liked this game until it ended up with a glitch! I can't wait for the glitch to be fixed and I can play it again. Please fix it soon!!!!!! Miss the game.

### 1/5 — Dull

*2015-08-29, version 1.5*

......uninstall

### 1/5 — Badddd👎🏻

*2015-05-23, version 1.5*

Update is rubbish and the app keep bugging and freezing. No point in downloading this as you'll end up deleting it straight away because it is so rubbish

### 1/5 — New version unplayable

*2015-05-07, version 1.5*

The new version has a bug with the graphics on the right side which make the game unplayable.

### 1/5 — In app punches

*2015-01-12, version 1.5*

Not very good I bought the child mode so kids can play downloaded it to the iPad and now can't play it can't restore the purchase I've already paid for no option to do that

### 1/5 — Crashed my iphone 5s first game

*2014-08-25, version 1.4*

This app crashed my iphone on my first game. Deleted!!

### 1/5 — Absurd

*2014-08-11, version 1.4*

Even on easy levels, there is no way to play for any length of time without purchasing extra stuff.    No meaningful support anywhere I could find either.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Supringly fun with its simplicity

*2020-08-12, version 1.6*

This game has been around for a while.  There’s a newer version but play this one first.  
What puzzles me is how some scores are so high.  I’m guessing people are buying more “chances”.  
Great game...Enjoy !! 🤗

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-07-30, version 1.6*

Super addictive and fun.  Simple, but great gameplay.  A timeless classic
