10/10 if you like roguelikes & td

I never leave reviews but I put in so much time on this game

Great game idea but the mechanism needs work

It’s a very fun casual game and I have completed all campaign levels. But when I’m trying to complete all challenge levels, the mechanism made it impossible to do so. I don’t know if the developer has passed all of them yet but like others've said it’s too random. I think at the least of the overall number of towers should have a minimum, sometimes it seems like the game is straight out doesn’t want you to win.

Too buggy

Sometimes buttons don’t work. I’ve only used this app for like 20 min and, so far, the buttons not working has caused me to forfeit an in-progress game and I was unable to start a new one. For an app that I had to pay for, this is unacceptable. Now add to the fact that it was ~$6 and you can see my frustration. I hope this gets fixed, cuz the game itself is fun.

Great Game + Enjoyable Brain Workout

This game is fantastic. I don’t play mobile games, mostly because I game on desktop or console, but this one totally makes the cut. What I enjoy most is the strategy of the game. Great for long flights; time flies when you play. Worth the money.

Requests to the developer: enable landscape mode for iPhone and iPad, and save progress between the two.

Incredible

I’ve just gotten to 100% on both Campaign and Gauntlet and I can safely say that this is by far and away my most played iPhone game. I’ve stuck with it for years. It’s a smart take on the tower defense genre and I’d just like to share my appreciation to the developer for putting in so much craft and care into this.
