### 3/5 — Battery

*2026-07-10*

Fairly fun but kills my 14pro battery faster than any other app I have

### 3/5 — iPhone only. 🙄

*2026-06-21*

iPhone only. 🙄

### 3/5 — Pas de versión!

*2026-06-06*

Jeu super sympas, mais c’est abusé qu’il ne soit pas compatible iPad!

### 1/5 — ボリューム不足

*2026-06-05*

ステージが少ない

### 5/5 — Within a few minutes of play, I knew this game was special.

*2026-04-26*

Addictive gameplay and is absolutely worth your time.

### 4/5 — Great - just too short

*2026-04-20*

Really fun game with good mechanics. But needs more content and levels. I finished it playing here and there over a couple of days.

### 3/5 — プレイ自体は面白い

*2026-04-18*

スキルツリーを広げていってどんどんタワーを強くしていくのは楽しい。
ただシナジー要素などが薄く、基本1つのタワーの特性を強くしていくので想像しているビルドっていうほどのものは無いですね。

例えば爆破特性を敵に付与してから火ダメージを与えると爆発して追加爆破ダメージ+100%とかではなく、確率で爆発して周りにダメージを与えるというものだったり。

他タワーの特性を活かして強化していくものが少ないので、進むに連れて物足りなさが目立っていく。

あと通常のアロータワーの方が強くて他タワー使っても金額だけ高いだけな感じがする。

### 5/5 — TD Mastery

*2026-04-13*

Elegant. Engaging. Excellent.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-04-03*

Progress with every level even if failed and free to reset and try different strategies

### 5/5 — Great, but I need MORE

*2026-04-02*

I had a great time playing this game. I loved the different ways that you could make your build, as well as the consistent challenge. However, this great experience lasted no more than 4 days before I’d 100% the game. I’ll admit, I played a good amount each day, but I still think the game would benefit with more levels. Either way, amazing work here
