### 3/5 — Wow ist hier viel Werbung

*2024-05-02, version 2.1.2*

Selten sooo viel Werbung in einem Spiel gesehen….

### 3/5 — Level 10 crash!

*2024-04-06, version 2.1.2*

Love this little game but can’t get past level 10 without crashing every time.

### 4/5 — Fun but buggy

*2024-03-13, version 2.1.2*

Level 5.10 crashes every time near the end of the round. Very disappointing. Other than that it is a fun game so far.

### 2/5 — Problems

Game keeps crashing at end of Level 15.10

### 2/5 — ok

*2023-08-19, version 2.1.2*

game needs updates, it keeps crashing

### 3/5 — Level 5.10

*2023-08-11, version 2.1.2*

There is an issue in level 5.10, in the end of 9th wave the game crush and jump out .

### 3/5 — The bug in level 5.10 still not fixed

*2023-06-05, version 2.1.2*

The problem mentioned by others (game goes to menu screen around 9th wave on level 5.10) is still happening.  Please come up with a patch to get this fixed.  Thanks in advance.  This game would be 5 stars once the issue is resolved.

### 2/5 — Fix the bugs

*2023-03-16, version 2.1.2*

It's very nice game but I am stuck in a level.
When I go to the final wave the game it's shut down

### 4/5 — Fun but unstable

*2022-12-10, version 2.1.2*

Fun game but has a problem crashing, especially level 5.10

### 2/5 — 5.10

*2022-11-11, version 2.1.2*

Вылет после 9 волны. Немедленно исправьте!

### 4/5 — Bel gioco ma con un bug

*2022-10-27, version 2.1.2*

Gioco molto carino sia nella grafica che nella realizzazione. Interessante la possibilità di controllare eroi con delle abilità speciali. Purtroppo un bug nella missione 5.10 fa chiudere l’app poco prima della fine: questo non permette di sbloccare gratuitamente una torre che può essere ottenuta solo pagando. Sembra comunque un problema isolato, non si è verificato con altri oggetti che ho potuto ottenere gratuitamente.

### 2/5 — Когда?

*2022-10-25, version 2.1.2*

Игу до сих пор не пофиксили на уровне 5.10. До сих пор выкидывает…

### 3/5 — Se cuelga en la 5/10

*2022-10-14, version 2.1.2*

Se cuelga en el 5/10
Últimas oleadas!!!

### 4/5 — Darei 5 stelle se smettesse di crashare sul più bello…

*2022-09-17, version 2.1.2*

Il gioco è bellissimo ma su alcuni livelli alla fine , sul più bello quando sto gustando la vittoria va in crash e devo ricaricare il gioco . È un vero peccato , sicuramente saprete metterlo a posto . Siete stati bravissimi , mettete a posto questa pecca…

### 4/5 — Jeu sympa mais des bugs

*2022-07-14, version 2.1.2*

Bug niveau 5.10 (le jeu se ferme à chaque fois) et lors des achats. J’ai reçu autre chose que ce que j’ai acheté et pas de réponse du développeur…pas cool. Dommage car le jeu est sympa pour ceux qui aiment les Tower defense

### 4/5 — Fun, but one major bug

*2022-04-10, version 2.1.2*

Good game, but one bug I’ve noticed: lvl 5.10 keeps crashing towards the end of the level, just shuts the entire game down.

### 1/5 — Still not fixed

*2022-04-01, version 2.1.2*

How have the developers not fixed level 5.10 by now when it has clearly been glitching for years according the reviews? This is laziness. It’s unconscionable to be still taking peoples money in this game without it working properly. It should be removed as an option from the App Store until the developers grace us with some basic competence.

### 1/5 — 2 ой сорт

*2022-03-23, version 2.1.2*

Сотни таких игр, под копирку, смотри рекламу

### 1/5 — Crash continui su ipad8!!!

*2025-12-01, version 2.1.2*

È un vero peccato perché sarebbe anche un bel gioco, tuttavia crasha continuamente! Risolvete !

### 1/5 — Viele Fehler und reine Werbeveranstaltung

*2024-09-22, version 2.1.2*

Macht null Spaß

### 1/5 — Good but buggy and abandoned

*2024-05-29, version 2.1.2*

Fun but cash grab. Crashes on level 5.10, no support from dev. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Have to buy air defence

*2024-05-01, version 2.1.2*

Money scam

### 1/5 — Bugged game

*2023-10-16, version 2.1.2*

Level 5.10 fails about halfway through and shuts down the game completely

### 1/5 — Crush

*2023-08-21, version 2.1.2*

The game is fun…but now after I spent 8 dollars on it…the game keeps crashing again and again and again none stop

### 1/5 — Level 5.10 Bug

*2023-01-12, version 2.1.2*

The game completely SHUTS DOWN at level 5.10 as soon as the last wave is defeated. I’ve tried 5-6 times and it happens every time.  4 stars once this issue is resolved.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2022-07-27, version 2.1.2*

Can’t pass level 5.10 and apparently from previous reviews it is a known glitch that hasn’t been fixed.

### 1/5 — App quits at level 5.10

*2022-04-13, version 2.1.2*

The game just quits at level 5.10 while playing

### 1/5 — It’s not pay to win, it’s stupidly easy.

*2022-04-12, version 2.1.2*

Far too many towers and purchases available that you don’t even need. I completed the whole game easily with just the Tesla tower. Build two and then spam the board with either the flame units or fire mages when you unlock them. You only need to level up the Tesla tower and leave the fire units at base level. I did the whole game like that 3*. A few levels you need the missed units. You can ignore 95% of the rest if the towers. Looks great but is mindless rubbish. Oh and as others have said level 5.10 just crashes the game.

### 5/5 — Game’s awesome but…

*2022-09-22, version 2.1.2*

I’ve played this alot and is very replayable. I’ve progressed far beyond Lvl 5-10, but whenever I play the level, about 3/4 the way through the waves, the game closes. I’ve had this issue for awhile. The game shuts down around wave 7-8 of 10.

### 5/5 — Level 5.10 에서 계속 튕김

*2022-01-13, version 2.1.2*

My game keeps freezing for some reason but good game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-10-25, version 2.1.2*

Only thing is it keeps crashing on level 5.10!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2020-12-15, version 2.1.2*

This game is great! Very entertaining and fun. I’m no problem though. In level 5.10 there is a glitch that will not let you finish the level and closes the game out entirely. Wish that was fixed because it is very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Сделайте Русский язык !!

Needs more content but is fun right now as well.
