## What is Muffin Defense?

ALERT! Muffins are invading our home planet! Your mission is to destroy every muffin you come across by shooting it with the built in laser gun on your spaceship. The lasers in your gun are very special. The lasers fire use new technology to automatically fire and instantly incinerate your opponents. Try to get to the King Muffin to end these attacks. 

Muffin Defense is simple, yet fun, and also in a retro style. There are multiple types of Muffins you may encounter on your journey through space. Some shoot back at you, others are stronger, and some are mostly invisible. Be careful! There are also three bosses you'll come across, each with their own way of trying to end you!

On your journey, be sure to collect stardust bunches to power your spaceship and progress though the game.

You can also upgrade your gun, lasers, or even your total stardust! The more you upgrade the quicker and easier it is to defeat King Muffin and end this war.

*2019-10-04, version 1.1*

Unbelievable game. Way too easy to beat.

### 5/5 — You need to understand something

For those of you saying this app is “simple” and “lame” you need to understand the fact that when he made this app the developer was in middle school

*2018-05-16, version 1.1*

It made me buy something that I did not click on👎🏻

### 4/5 — Hmm....

*2017-03-27, version 1.1*

Ah... good BGM. But there is no sound effect. Moreover, the app is turn off during play. I didn't fit the laser. It's there a separate pro version??

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! There is no pro version, but we are looking into sound effects for the next update.

*2017-03-08, version 1.1*

This is simple shooting game. There are many rooms to improve like spaceships' movement and some glitches. I hope next version will be better.

*2017-01-20, version 1.0*

But, the game is so good—you will ignore the bugs!
