### 4/5 — Très cool mais Mitigé

*2023-10-04*

Un visuel est un gameplay très sympa vraiment simple en thermes de prise en main il est très satisfaisants. Mais c’est une bonne base , le jeux manque finalement en profondeur , il manque des possibilités d’améliorations d’armes, d’autre cartes, améliorations des soldat …. Beaucoup de jeux est de multiples essai pour finalement ne jamais pouvoir dépasser un certain nombre de niveaux

### 2/5 — Pay to win after 30 rounds

*2022-09-30*

The max I’ve been able to go is 31 rounds. Then I think the game wants you to pay to be able to get more coins to buy better weapons. Tough game but really enjoyable challenge.

### 4/5 — Coins

*2022-09-08, version 3.0*

More weapons and more coins for enemiges.

### 4/5 — update it

*2022-08-03*

please it need’s an update it keeps crashing but its sooo fun

### 5/5 — Un jeu qui m’a marqué

*2022-08-01*

En recherchant des applications sur l’app store j’ai trouvé cette pépite.
En jouant au jeu j’ai découvert le plaisir du tower defense.
Rapidement je me suis rendu compte que peu de mes stratégies ont marchés mon record était alors de 21 rounds.
Après j’ai essayé les canons à 1500 ainsi que les freezer qui m’ont permis d’atteindre des records,
mais après la vague 50 le jeu a crash et je l’ai delete dommage.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2022-07-25*

It is a fun game till the bugs stop all progression and your waiting on an enemy that won’t come.

### 4/5 — Some bugs in air enemies

*2022-05-16, version 3.0*

I keep coming back for this game for years! I'm just having some issues with the Candy Island map. Sometimes air perk don't take effect and I need to restart the game.

### 1/5 — Tower défense trop léger

*2022-04-13*

Peu d’ennemie 
Peu d’arme pour se défendre 
Peu de possibilités de stratégie 
Une dynamique de « l’armée » prometteuse mais très peu jouable au final 

Marrant 5min mais on fait très vite le tour dommage .
