关卡的彩蛋太不容易找了，就比如那个寂静坡，到现在还没找到最后一个彩蛋

### 2/5 — Looks good, but horrible controls

*2019-05-09*

I liked the artwork of this game and am a huge fan of TD games in general, so I gave it a try.  I couldn’t play long because the hero controls are horrible.  Many times, I would try to select or place a tower only to have the hero walk where I tapped instead!  This needs to be fixed in order to make the game playable.  Very frustrating.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, we have noticed the issue about control. We will make a great update of game operation so that you wouldn't have this issue again. We also add two new systems and two modes. If you have any other suggestion, please contact with us❤️

### 4/5 — 游戏确实还可以。但是…

*2019-05-04*

男女主的形象真的是…
男主这个美国男孩的画风让我觉得极其不爽？？反正油头大脑的很欠揍？不知道哪里感觉很受不了？总一股傻子自信咧开大牙？
然后游戏上限并不高，虽然在同类中还不错

**Developer response:** 我已经帮您把美术给揍了一顿了
我们近期会对游戏进行一个更新，增加了新的玩法和关卡，敬请期待，您的支持是我们最大的动力

### 2/5 — Just 10 levels?

*2019-03-29*

Disappointed that there are just 10 levels on the paid version. Still to be continued?

**Developer response:** Hey dear player, thanks for your review~ We will add more levels with a great update at about May 30

### 3/5 — Fun but overly difficult

*2019-03-08*

Great gameplay and concept. I really enjoyed this game. Unfortunately it is overly difficult after the first few levels to the point that it no longer becomes fun to play. On to another game now...

### 2/5 — Where is upgrade?

*2019-03-05, version 1.9.3936*

Fun game but I felt like I’m not playing the same game as everybody else. How do I upgrade? I’m in stage8

### 3/5 — Good TD

*2019-03-04*

Really good game except one thing on normal levels when you try to level up a towers unless you hit dead center on tower the guy takes off running right into pack of ghosts but on the survival levels it’s very hard to make guy move so it’s very easy to die when playing for the third star.

### 3/5 — Good game just a recent suggestion

*2019-03-03*

It’s a really great game but it’s kinda lonely playing by yourself.... i saw someone say that they wanted a coop update. I want it to but take time to update it. It’s a good game...

**Developer response:** Dear player, thank you for playing our game. As you said, that update would cost some time, we will plan it in future.

### 2/5 — Very glitchy controls; frame focus issues

*2019-03-02*

The concept and graphics are great but glitchy controls make this a mediocre experience. Additionally, the game auto-focuses the frame and does not stay where your character or current building action is, which makes it very difficult to construct new towers. I will not be playing any more until an update addresses these issues. If the player needs to shift the frame to build, upgrade, or use skills, then the frame should not auto-shift back.

**Developer response:** Dear player, thanks for your suggestions very much. First, we are considering to change the control mode in game, maybe virtual joystick is a good solution? As for the auto-shift, actually you can set this function On/Off by yourself in game, you can do it like this: pause the game by pressing the pause button, unselect the last option of the first line.

### 1/5 — Ошибка

*2023-07-05*

При перезапуске игра больше не загружается

### 1/5 — Ugly art

*2019-08-01, version 2.3.3958*

Main character and design is hideous

### 1/5 — REVERT THE CONTROLS BACK

*2019-07-16*

The controls were fine before when it was tap the screen to move and now you have to use the janky useless joystick in the corner of the screen. Change the controls back or at least give us the option to switch between them. The game is unplayable for me now

### 1/5 — Terrible controls

*2019-03-12*

I try to place a tower and it ends up moving my guy to the point tapped. I try to move the map it moves my guy instead. I try to place a turret it moves my guy instead. I try to select a turret that is built and my guy moves to that spot instead. Unplayable.

**Developer response:** dear player, thanks for your feedback.  you can set this function On/Off by yourself in game, you can do it like this: pause the game by pressing the pause button, unselect the last option of the first line.

### 1/5 — They track you through the phone

*2019-03-11*

I would give this a -100 if I could. Without permission they track you through the phone.  Go to your settings on your iPhone/ privacy and then location services. You will see this app in there and it will be turned on.  There’s absolutely no reason why this app should have your location. But they do it without your knowledge. Apps like these disgust me. Who knows what else they’re doing without or knowledge and consent.

### 1/5 — Unbalanced and TOO difficult

*2019-03-10, version 1.9.3936*

The title says it all. Don’t buy this IAP game

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-03-02, version 1.9.3936*

Don’t play clickbait crap the worst game I’ve ever played.

### 1/5 — Fun at first and then go down hill quickly!!

*2019-01-09*

At first you find this is nice a nice game with nice game play and easy to control but those go down hill quickly!! The game goes unbalance quickly just when u try normal gameplay, and poor tower which is u couldn’t upgrade or level up higher as the gosh does!! U couldn’t earn money to keep upgrades your tower!! Totally waste of money to pay$2.99 to play full version which is 05 stages!!

**Developer response:** Dear player, perhaps u can try to upgrade to our latest version and try again, and you don't have to pay to unlock, you can also unlock levels with stars/coins. As for the balance, we admit that the challenge modes (cost 3 stars) are indeed very difficult, that is why we call them "challenge",  but "challenge" doesn't mean impossible, we ensure that it is possible for players to pass all challenge modes without using any props/items if the player has enough operational skills and strategies. Thank you for your feedback.

### 1/5 — Not a free game but a demo

*2019-01-07*

Dont be fooled u can play the first 3 lvls free but then u gotta pay to keep playing very misleading should say trial or least not say free game as it is not a full game for free theres no way to keep playing for free.

**Developer response:** Dear players, you should update to our latest version 1.7.3932. There are a variety of free ways for unlocking level with stars/coins.

### 5/5 — Connection

*2025-05-06*

Please fix the connection. When will you answer?

### 5/5 — 这么好的游戏很多人不知道

*2022-01-16*

看到我评论的赶紧下载吧 否则错过几个亿

### 5/5 — 不知道为什么要说？

*2021-04-18*

你要是能出多人模式就好了希望把画风更好一点。

### 5/5 — Try the game again if you haven’t in a while!!

*2020-06-30*

So I downloaded this when it first came out and was named something different. I just could not get into it. I recently re downloaded it and it is now one of my favorites!! Not sure what the devs did but the did something! I am not sure the original had a virtual joystick for the hero but I love it now. The rune upgrades are neat and I like how you can get stronger and beat past levels easier. I find myself playing levels over and over just for the fun of it and to find hidden chests and achievements.

If you played this before and didn’t like it, try it again!!!!!

### 5/5 — 很好玩，但需要改进bug

*2020-01-06*

容易上手也很好玩的一款游戏，但是希望优化下bug，切出游戏或者偶尔误触拖动屏幕就会出现点不了防御塔建造和升级的bug特别影响游戏体验，无尽模式建议增加存档选项，毕竟幸幸苦苦玩这么久不是游戏结束了，而是手机没电了就会很尴尬…最后期待新地图的开放

### 5/5 — 什么时候更新 只有二十关吗？这么好的游戏

*2019-10-13*

非常棒

### 5/5 — 画风可爱的塔防。

*2019-01-31*

打通了三关，没有难度。第三关有趣一些，玩法比较多。为了完成任务，主人公有点忙，跑前跑后，炸掉瓦房来阻断幽灵前行的陷阱，还要开车出击伤害……出现幽灵狗🐶萌宠类。看视频后面的关卡画风还可以。游戏内全程无广告，自由度非常重视。

### 5/5 — 反应的问题一直在改善，感觉到你们的用心手动点赞留下5星

*2019-01-12*

### 5/5 — Wonderful game!

*2019-01-10*

Awesome graphics, awesome new concept for a defense game. Well done guys.

**Developer response:** hello there！thanks for your support！

### 5/5 — 最吸引我的一款塔防手游

*2019-01-10*

我手机下载后付款解锁了所有关卡，想着ipad玩儿会更爽，没想到ipad的还需要再付款，希望能改进私人登录和进度存储的功能。

**Developer response:** 亲爱的小伙伴，你来晚啦！最新版本已经完美解决了同一账号自动恢复购买的问题了呀~您更新一下游戏，再试一次。再次感谢你对幽灵塔防的 喜爱和支持💗O(∩_∩)O，欢迎进官方群零距离互动：644468577
