This isn’t really even a tower defence game in my opinion. I’m not really sure what it is. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2018-11-10, version 5.2* Within 30 seconds of playing I already encountered a major glitch ### 1/5 — Force you to pay AND force you to watch video *2018-10-06, version 5.2* Unskipable 30 sec video and you will hit a wall unless you pay to win ### 1/5 — Good game, lot of problems *2018-01-21* Lumberwhack is one of my favorite games to play to pass time... when it works. There’s a list of problems that need to be attended to. To list a few, 1. The lumber truck occasionally drives through all the trees and ignores the animals early in the game and the game can’t be beaten. Nothing is more irritating than using items and having a good round be ruined by this awful glitch. 2. The lion won’t roar... a main character in the game that provides a lot of structure to the army doesn’t complete his function... 3. Newest and most annoying one since the October 2017 update, I’ve completed all the acorns up to the point where I’m at... in order to pass to the next world, you need a certain amount of acorns, and it says I’m 60 short and another action is to spend 80 acorns, which are already expensive and hard to come across. Cmon. Just lost a 5-star review, please fix these problems :) ### 1/5 — 1 hour of game play before your NEED inapp purchases. *2014-07-04, version 1.4.5* Fun game at first...however after about an hour of game play you NEED to buy in app purchases to get anywhere. You cannot farm to level up and you cannot replay the same levels to get additional items. So it's a good concept except the developers made it impossible to play without spending a lot more $$$. I would not recommend this to anyone. ### 2/5 — Original and fun *2025-01-24, version 6.6.0* Well balanced. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-01, version 7.0.0* Fun ### 5/5 — The best monkey game *2026-04-18, version 7.0.0* I love the story ### 5/5 — Lumber whack defence for wild *2026-04-06, version 7.0.0* Just like in the ad ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-03-29, version 7.0.0* Amazing and so good ### 5/5 — This has no title *2026-03-28, version 7.0.0* This game is so fun. It gets all my anger out. I recommend using when you want to get some anger out, but you don’t want to get it out in real life. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-03-22, version 7.0.0* Played it a while ago and just spent a while looking for it ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-03-21, version 7.0.0* Purely wonderful can’t stop playing! ### 5/5 — W *2026-03-15, version 7.0.0* Beck ro played this and now I know the reason why ### 5/5 — GGGREAT!!! *2026-03-11, version 7.0.0* This game is the the best it is old but its still good. ### 5/5 — W *2026-02-25, version 7.0.0* JUST GREAT --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
