### 3/5 — Not bad

*2023-11-17*

It’s ok.  The potential is really there. The computer is a little cheap switching positions endlessly so the battle never ends. A little frustrating. It’s also a little weird how the opponent can summon towers faster than the player. The rewards are a little low and you need to be able to upgrade towers or troops.  Maybe a daily log in bonus or something.  I’ll keep the game for a while to see if you can make some improvements, if not I’ll be deleting.

### 5/5 — Super fun!
