Saved the dog a few times then it switched to a tower defence gam. Deleted it **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

DONT PLAY THIS GAME ### 2/5 — Game is a lie *2025-11-10* Read the other reviews, this game shows gameplay in ads that doesn’t exist in the game. People are saying they’ve seen the drawing lines to stop bees game, I saw a hex based puzzle game, it isn’t here. This is a terrible microtransaction tower defense gacha and the devs reply to every 1 star review with an apology for accidentally misleading but it’s obviously on purpose as they have no ads showing the actual gameplay. Putting this on 2 stars so more people will see it **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

Screw you and your dirty advertising techniques **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

They just steal your data. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-11-09, version 1.2.79.136* We thought this video that we were interested to play. But no… just the wrong game. Deleted ### 1/5 — Ads and previews show completely different game *2025-11-08, version 1.2.79.136* Title says it ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-11-08, version 1.2.79.136* Not the game advertised. ### 1/5 — Fake game *2025-11-08, version 1.2.79.136* Fake game ### 3/5 — Bait & Switch, but not a fleece? How odd. *2025-11-08* Uhhh this bait and switch: why? I can see someone who hates the minigame but liked the coregame; and vice versa, I played for what you advertised in ads, a puzzle game - I have no interest in Tower Defence. Is this some clash of genres or a semi-transparent attempt at hitting as many tags for as wide of an audience-impression as possible? Very odd, semi respectable, but not a great image for a company in entertainment. Is what it is—all the best. **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

Requested a refund that was declined. That’s pretty messed up! ### 1/5 — Filth. Trash. Garbage. Lies. Doodoo. Trash (again) *2025-11-19* Would have been ZERO STARS if allowed. Downloaded from an ad and it looked like it could’ve been a fun puzzle style game. Played about 15-20 minutes and didn’t see anything resembling the ad I downloaded the game from. This company should probably be removed from the Apple App Store. It’s just a lie to get clicks and downloads to sell other ad space. The devs should be ashamed. The marketing team should be ashamed. And Apple should probably be ashamed too. There is far too much of this fraudulent advertising all over the App Store nowadays. Hey Tim Cook, put an end to this. Bring back the days when the App Store showed you what was actually going to be in the games. **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

If you forget about the minigame, it’s actually really addictive. I think you guys should focus more on advertising the game itself instead of trying to pull people in with the unrelated minigame. It has a lot of features and gameplay loops related to levelling up your castle and your heroes, gear etc. there is always something to be doing. The character designs are great, the ‘big head’ character style you use in your thumbnails are a lot less appealing than the actual characters. Overall, good game, underrated. **Developer response:** Hi! We're so glad you enjoy our game! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others.

However if you keep playing the tower defense is pretty fun and you can keep playing more of the bee defense to collect items. **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.

You have to castle, heroes, a dragon you can upgrade and utilize troops of up to 4 heroes and their garrisoned foot soldiers, go out into the world and smack monsters for upgrades. The dog protection from bees is nice to gather some materials. You have to do a gauntlet of protect your dragon with your heroes to unlock more levels which that in itself can be fun. However, I have never seen this scythe slashing mini game anywhere on here so I don’t know why it’s advertised as such. It’s non existent on here. Honestly if they just stick to what it is the game does and how you interact with it, I think they’d get a larger player base interested. 🤷‍♀️ **Developer response:** We are genuinely sorry for the misunderstanding.
