### 5/5 — 더 많은 래밸이 필요합니다

*2025-10-20*

재밌는데 너무 짧아요

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-04-14, version 3.04*

Best game, should be more popular

### 4/5 — Love it but limited

*2023-01-19*

Frankly such a minimalist strategy game has alot of potential but it needs more levels and more units. I wish they would put some effort into it.

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2023-01-12, version 3.04*

Bitte mehr Level mit größeren Maps und einen Online-Modus, man ist leider viel zu schnell durch.

### 2/5 — Was zur …

*2022-12-25, version 3.04*

Ein recht simples und schön designtes Spiel. Leider macht es mich aggressiv. Für meinen Geschmack ist es zu schwierig zu gewinnen. Die Möglichkeit des Gegenangriffs wird im Spiel sehr spät frei geschaltet das ist  nicht nachvollziehbar und regt mich einfach auf. Warum nicht einfach alle Möglichkeiten im Spiel gleich freischalten? Nervt mich mega und habe das Spiel schnell wieder gelöscht

### 4/5 — Gelungenes Spiel aber zu schnell zu Ende

*2022-12-25, version 3.04*

Macht Spaß, hab aber innerhalb eines Tages alles durchgespielt. Ein Online Modus gegen seine Freunde wäre echt super nice!

### 2/5 — Fun for the first 10 minutes but then…

*2022-12-24*

It becomes insanely difficult and I’m not convinced it is even possible to win some of these levels. I’ve tried a number of different strategies to no avail. 

I wish I could love this game because it is quite fun when it isn’t making you want to smash your phone on the floor.

### 4/5 — Buon gioco RTS

*2022-12-24, version 3.04*

Buon gioco real time strategy, c’è una parte di microgestione delle risorse e pianificazione degli attacchi
È un buon passatempo, anche stimolante all’inizio.. è un po’ breve nel senso che se ci passi un po’ di ore sopra sei in grado di finirlo presto. Dico la mia adesso che ho terminato il gioco tutto con 3 stelline; semplicemente adesso sto cercando di battere il mio highscore per ogni missione. Non c’è più lo stimolo della novità iniziale però è apprezzabile il gioco in sé per cui ogni tanto torno a giocarci nei momenti morti

### 5/5 — Super Fun & Well Maid

*2022-11-12*

Need more levels !!

### 5/5 — good game

*2021-12-05*

I think this is a very interesting game.  Players can challenge different ways of playing.  I am looking forward to a sequel to this game, if there is a sequel.
