Allerdings muss man mit diesen rosa Diamanten neue Turm-Updates freischalten, wo man leider oder absichtlich immer die selben bekommt. Ich habe schon einige Level hinter mir und kann daher sagen, dass es pay to win ist. Ab Level 322 ist es ohnehin vorbei, da dieser Level nicht schaffbar ist ### 4/5 — Любимая игра *2025-07-17, version 1.0.37* Я играла в нее еще когда была беременна, сейчас ребенку уже три года, до сиз пор играю. Прошла больше тысячи уровней. Жаль что игру не развивают ### 4/5 — Fix Those Ads Please *2025-03-08, version 1.0.37* @McDonald’s ads are designed to hijack the browser and unable to close without killing the app. Notify the ad platform and they *should* warn them. ### 4/5 — I love the game but … *2024-02-12, version 1.0.37* This game is so fun and I'm addicted to it, but why do I have to sign-in every time I want to play ? + the game crashes if someone called while I’m playing ! Please fix it I really enjoy playing this game 🥹 ### 4/5 — Level plötzlich schwerer *2023-12-01* Tolles Spiel! Allerdings sind die Level ab ca 380 plötzlich deutlich schwerer und kaum zu schaffen. Sehr schade.... ich hoffe das wird bald behoben... ### 3/5 — cant not login facebook *2023-05-16* Nice game, but I can’t not login to Facebook . It’s been 1 year now, so I lost everything in this game ### 2/5 — :((( помогите *2023-05-15, version 1.0.37* я в недоумении. мне очень нравится игра, я провожу в ней очень много свободных минуток, я очень умелый игрок и вообще фанатка. на данный момент я на 366 уровне и каждый из них пройден на 3/3 звёзд. но я не могу пройти дальше. мне не хватает двух звёздочек в общем счёте, которые я могу получить пройдя экстра-уровни, но на их запуск нужны материалы, которые можно достать только заработав ещё звёзд :) я буквально в тупике, из которого никак не выбраться. игра окончена для меня? ### 4/5 — Не загружается *2023-02-08, version 1.0.37* Перестала загружаться. Заставка висит - сама игра не загружается. ### 2/5 — Will not load *2023-01-22, version 1.0.37* This seemed fun for a start, but now it will not load past 40 percent, already rebooted my ipad. ### 1/5 — Nichts geht mehr *2022-12-11, version 1.0.37* Seit langen ist ein Login nicht möglich, aber niemand kümmert sich drum. Scheint wohl nicht so wichtig zu sein oder wird auch dieses Problem auf eine bestehende Weltlage geschoben??? Echt traurig, und dabei hatte das Spiel sehr guten Kurzweil. Aber dann wird es eben gelöscht. ### 3/5 — Please fix *2022-11-14* This game is so fun, but it has glitched out on me. I have collected every single star on the map, but it still says I need 5 to unlock the next part of the map. I have tried everything to fix it… I guess I will have to stop playing. Probably a good thing, haha. ### 1/5 — Bello *2022-10-29, version 1.0.37* Il gioco mi piace tanto ma da quando mi chiede la connessione a Facebook non riesco ad accedervi quindi non posso più giocare risolvete per favore ### 1/5 — Lost all progress *2022-10-05, version 1.0.37* I really enjoyed this game until they pushed an update that broke the account login page. For years I used Facebook to login, then suddenly there is an error. Reading the comments, this is an issue for everyone. It's been many months and no word from devs. Very sad to see such disregard for their players. ### 2/5 — DO NOT GET THIS GAME out of principle *2022-08-20, version 1.0.37* The pay to win future is already clear: just getting the magnet card, which is required to have any fun in endless mode etc., costs $50.00. And that’s just to unlock one tower! That’s insane for a casual TD game. Period. I’ve even spent real money in this game, so I’m extra ticked off that it feels like I can’t enjoy part of it without spending $50 *more*!!! That is a LOT of money for a casual game. This predatory behavior burns me up. DO NOT GET THIS GAME if only out of principle. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS26 *2025-11-20, version 1.0.37* Please fix crash on iOS26. It is really annoying to get through 2/3 of a level and the game crashes with no way to save your progress. ### 1/5 — Was great *2025-10-21, version 1.0.37* Once you get to a certain level there’s only one way to win. No ingenuity needed. You also won’t be able to raise the level of certain towers without a purchase. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Glitches out horribly without Internet *2025-05-03, version 1.0.37* We used to be able to play this game off-line, but the Internet requirement hobbles it significantly. It’s really unfortunate more and more games unnecessarily require Internet just to play a simple game. ### 1/5 — Niveau 1085 et puis… *2025-01-16* On n’avance plus !!! Stratégie ou arnaque des développeurs ? J’ai mon idée… ### 1/5 — Late game / hard mode stupides *2024-01-30* Alors oui le jeu paraît très bien un moment. Cependant, vous vous rendrez vite compte que plus tard, vous n’arriverez jamais à faire vos 3 gold Stars. Les soucis ? - On gagne des pièces à foison qui ne servent à rien. - Le loot des tourelles à améliorer est absent (je suis tout simplement bloqué en hard mode car je n’ai pas réussi à looter la tour Diamant et que le lvl est impossible sans, malgré le full boost. Top !!) - Les lvl du late game sont juste là pour vous faire perdre vos gemmes. Et si vous n’avez pas de gemme (qu’on ne loot quasi pas à moins du mode p2w ; donc impossible à gagner), et bien devinez quoi ? Vous ne pourrez rien faire ! - En late game, tous les joueurs se plaignent et quittent le jeu (cf commentaires), les vidéos sont absentes. Autant vous dire que les devs se payent vraiment votre tronche avec leurs niveaux impossibles. => Pour un joueur f2p qui ne souhaite mettre aucun € dans un jeu portable, perso je ne suis jamais contre les pubs lorsque c’est bien amené. Là, elles ne servent quasi à rien. Seul votre porte monnaie compte (et à quel prix ?? Oo) Bref, j’adorai ce jeu mais grosse déception au final. Je vais sans doute m’arrêter là pour ce jeu. Dommage. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2023-04-11, version 1.0.37* I am so frustrated. I was really high in this game, over 1,000 levels. Now, I can’t play it because of the whole Facebook thing. I had all my progress saved through Facebook. If the developers are aware of the problem, why aren’t you fixing it? ### 1/5 — Guardians *2023-02-27, version 1.0.37* Was end level player then some update kicked me out of Facebook now lost my account that I’ve been playing for four years. ### 1/5 — Le jeu ne se lance plus depuis aujourd’hui *2023-02-08* Le jeu est très bien mais ne se lance plus depuis aujourd’hui… ### 1/5 — Need Help from developers to get back in *2023-01-07, version 1.0.37* I’ve been playing this game for close to 10 years and have spent ALOT of money on it. I’ve been locked out of it for almost a year now and can not get a response from developers on how to get back into my account. ### 1/5 — เข้าเล่นเกมส์ไม่ได้เลย *2023-01-05, version 1.0.37* เด้งออกตลอดให้เชื่อมเฟสก้เชื่อมไม่ได้ ตกลงจะให้เล่นไหมนะ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-18, version 1.0.37* Please fix crash on iOS26. ### 5/5 — Lo adoro *2025-07-08, version 1.0.37* Ci gioco da anni, perfetto e maniacale. Una logica sopraffina. ### 5/5 — Make update pls🙏🏼 *2025-06-13, version 1.0.37* The best game ever, and i hope you’ll make update for this ### 5/5 — More levels please! *2024-03-28* I love tower defence games and by far this is my favorite. The upgrade system is not great but love the game play. Please keep making levels!!! ### 5/5 — Update *2024-02-05, version 1.0.37* Will there be an update for new levels? ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-06-03, version 1.0.37* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Facebook error *2022-08-17* I’d like to say I love this game I was at level 925or more, then something happened and I can no play this game. I login with Facebook and a fatal error comes up saying that my game has been deactivated and that the developer is aware. Okay, it’s been a few months, I tried to email on the site for support but my email was sent back, because it isn’t a real email. Can someone please contact me regarding this issue. ### 5/5 — Nouveaux tableaux!?! *2022-06-07* J’ai 3786/3840 mes tableaux sont tous 3 étoiles, où puis-je avoir celle qui me manque pour pouvoir faire le niveau 1116 et aussi à quand de nouveaux tableaux élites. Merci **Developer response:** Thank for your comment. ### 5/5 — Great game, could use more fun towers *2022-05-22, version 1.0.37* This is a great game, really fun! My favorite tower is the dragon one because it’s an actual character. I recommend creating more towers that are characters and move around. Makes the game a lot more fun!! ### 5/5 — Must try it! *2022-05-21* Amazing game in every way, fun, colorful and no adds! You can play for free all you want without having to spend a dime (I did spend some money though but not because I have too, just for faster upgrades) if you like TD games it is a must try! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
