Jonas ### 5/5 — This game is really fun *2020-06-23, version 1.1.0* This game is one of the best games i have ever played its so simple but amazing ### 5/5 — Gute (kurze) TD *2020-06-23, version 1.1.0* Man sieht auf jeden Fall viel Potenzial in dem Spiel. Dafür, dass es kostenlos ist, eine super TD, etwas kurz, aber ich musste die Level teilweise häufig wiederholen, um 3 Sterne zu bekommen, dabei war die Schwierigkeit nie zu frustrierend. Einige Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten sind mir allerdings direkt aufgefallen: - der AoE Tower ist in den meisten Leveln so gut wie sinnlos, weil er nur auf einem Feld mehrere Monster angreift (vielleicht AoE erhöhen), ich bin immer besser gefahren den Standardtower stattdessen zu bauen. - der Incometower wird nur selten gebraucht, finde ich aber gut, um Variation in den Weg zum Ziel zu bringen (wäre langweilig, wenn es nur einen richtigen Weg gibt) - auf dem iPhone X und höher nervt das Towerplatzieren, weil man manchmal den Homebutton aktiviert und dann in die Appauswahl kommt. Vielleicht gibt es da einen Workaround. Ein gravierender Bug ist mir noch ins Auge gestochen: Der Lasertower kann mehrfachen killing blow bekommen, dementsprechend kriegt man für jeden 1$, das heißt je mehr Lasertower, desto mehr $ für getöten Gegner. Ich weiß nicht, ob das gewollt ist oder ob es wirklich so ist wie ichs beobachtet habe, aber ich hatte in manchen Leveln bis zu 1000$ über und es wurde lächerlich einfach. Ansonsten echt ein top Spiel! ### 1/5 — DONT PLAY IF YOU HAVE OCD *2020-06-22, version 1.1.0* If you are like me and have ocd... DO NOT PLAY!!! This kills me. It is a terrible game! ### 5/5 — Tower Defense mit super Soundtrack - ausprobieren! *2020-06-12, version 1.0.1* Nicht von der simplen Grafik und Aufmachung täuschen lassen: OverclockeTD ist eine knifflige Tower Defense Variante. Macht Spaß & fordert! Und hat nen super Soundtrack. Und ist echtes free to Play - ohne Werbung! Ich werde den Entwicklern eine Spende machen, in der Hoffnung, dass irgendwann weitere Level dazu kommen. Wer TD mag: klare Empfehlung. Ausprobieren! ## Frequently asked questions about OverclockeTD ### What is OverclockeTD? OverclockeTD is a tower defense game with an 80s synthwave aesthetic.
