### 1/5 — Copy cat

*2021-07-07*

Legit copy of the real game

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2020-12-09*

Gave it a go and it’s ver unresponsive to movements trying to drag it 1 square over and it always goes 2 ... the game is very basic but if it was more fluid I’d probably be happy playing it

### 1/5 — 広告を見てるのかゲームをしてるのか

*2020-05-14*

わからないほど広告が多すぎて消した。

### 1/5 — Read this first

*2020-05-13*

The fact that I felt the need to write a review is all that you need to know as a potential downloader of this app. The game itself is a blast, but the amount of ads in this game make it genuinely unplayable and quite frankly are frustrating as hell.

### 3/5 — Can be improved.

*2020-03-30*

Great game, but when a turret randomly stops functioning for no apparent reason it can get rather frustrating. More content would also be much appreciated, I can ‘win’ in under 30 minutes.

### 2/5 — Good game ruined by ads every ten moves

*2020-02-16*

I played this game for almost a year and have found myself coming back when I’ve got a few minutes of downtime to spare. I always enjoyed coming back to it until now. Lo and behold the devs have decided to spam ads, and not just between rounds, but mid game. I can live with ads, I understand that a developer needs a source of income, but when I get an ad every ten moves, the game isn’t worth my time. I’ll be coming back to this game in a few months and checking to see if you’ve left this terrible ad frequency in place. A five star game, but the recent ad policy forces me to rate it harshly.

### 5/5 — Max level

*2020-01-18*

Does the game go beyond level 20 towers? I am currently sitting with two rows of max level 20 towers. Does it just continue like this forever? Had fun playing the game regardless. Combines math and strategy so I feel a little more productive when I play.

### 1/5 — Trash and boring

*2020-01-16*

No way you would play this game it’s just stupid and will waste time and not in the good way

### 5/5 — Убийца времени

*2020-01-03*

Хорошая игра, лично я люблю подобный жанр, но без рекламных бонусов не пройти (как мне кажется), я рекламу смотрел - прошёл😄 дошёл до всех пушек 20-го уровня, дальше они не соединяются, жду обновлений) (может новых режимов или больше уровня пушек)

### 1/5 — Можете даже не скачивать

*2019-12-26*

Если хотите посмотреть рекламы, то удачи
