### 5/5 — Great game, has room for improvement

*2022-10-16*

The games is loads of fun but 2 things seems a bit much, the daily cap on arena and the outrageous prices for passes. Other then that perfect game!!!

### 3/5 — Kinda addicting and totally monotonous

*2022-09-21*

It’s a nice little diversion. Don’t expect any real type of strategizing or anything on your part. It’s just a disguised shump with blocks. And of course you will have to merge you guns to make ‘em stronger.  After getting to 97% in relation to other players, I have decided to delete it.

### 1/5 — Forced Ads

*2022-09-05*

Don't bother, forced ads after beating certain levels with no option to purchase an option to remove them. Got two in the first 11 levels (10 minutes of play). Game would be fun otherwise.

### 1/5 — New update is bad.

*2022-08-23*

Hate the new turret designs.

### 5/5 — Fun little distraction!

*2022-08-20*

This is such a fun and addictive little game. I’m honestly impressed at how much of the game is playable and fun without paying or ads, and the purchases seem reasonable. I haven’t bought any yet, but I’m tempted to just to support the devs. I really enjoy the arena, and if I would change anything I’d love the arena matches to charge throughout the day instead of all at once. I can’t help myself but do them all first thing in the morning and I’m bummed I can’t do more!

### 2/5 — Endless tower won’t load

*2022-08-19*

Fun game. Have issues loading the first stage of endless tower, it just freezes…

### 5/5 — It gets better with every update

*2022-07-26*

Amazing improvements to an already very fun game

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting the bug, we'll fix it in next update!

### 5/5 — ADDICTIVE

*2022-07-19*

I love this game I’m addicted i really recommend playing

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-07-18*

The game is full of bugs. Watch an add to double coins and you don’t get the merge stone. Drag from bag to merge on table and it doesn’t consume the turret from the bag. High school level dev skills = quick money grab.

### 3/5 — PLEASE READ Amazing game with so much potential

*2022-07-16*

The game is addicting and at its core is fun , but here are some things that will make the game much more enjoyable. -add the ability to buy merge stones in shop -Add waves game mode (start wave 1 until you lose) - Add co-op - Add another version of pvp where you get infinite tiles and you see the player next to you real time. whoever gets farthest wins -Add the ability to ask for player names so you see who’s in ranked -Add player icons -Add ranked rewards -Don’t do a limit to ranked . (20 matches a day limits if you can finish the battle pass or not) - ADD MORE RARITIES( legendary then maybe mythical) - PLEASE REWORK THE GEM MINES (i like how you have to think about spaces but 3 gems is useless when you passively gain, make it something else) - Add more special effects for some weapons(ex: legendary items have a fire animation or a red glow, blue glow , add some cool animation to the weapon square)
-fix various spelling and grammar issues
-i assure you if you fix all these things this 
-once you get stuck in story there’s not much to do add the ability to keep doing the same level over and over
-Add quests not only daily quests
-when you merge weapons show what it will increase by , the stats don’t show and you have to guess if it’s worth it or not .

Thus game will be top leaderboards and attract many more players . PLEASE add my suggestions
