### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-10, version 1.21*

Nice to finally play another game where I don’t feel bombarded with ads or required to buy a $25+ a month battle pass. Just a fun, rewarding time waster. Keep up the good work, devs!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-05-06, version 1.21*

Awesome game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-03-05, version 1.21*

Great game

### 3/5 — Monetization is ridiculous

*2024-10-18, version 1.21*

I have and do spend money on in app purchases, but this one is so far off the mark in terms of how they monetized the app and broke things into such high prices.  I could buy 5 AAA games for the price just to unlock the speed and damage boosts.

Look at games like Egg, Inc. and go for volume over individual purchases.  This game will never get a cent from me because they don't know how to properly price mobile games.

Game itself is fine, could use some polishing... certainly no BloonsTD.  Doing pvp tournaments and being smart about how you play, you can certainly get everything without paying... but it'll take ages.  Lack of maps is disappointing, lack of choosing where I put my towers is disappointing (you have pre selected slots).  Lack of targeting options is disappointing.

### 4/5 — Ok game

*2023-12-11, version 1.21*

Mainly ok but the rewards for watching Ads has stopped working again.
