### 5/5 — Вопрос разрадотчикам

*2026-02-21*

Добрый день, играл в эту игру на андроиде, купил там все пакеты, сейчас скачал эту игру на айфон, пакетов нет, можно как то их восстановить?

### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Games Ever

*2026-01-12, version 2.4.3*

I have loved this game for years and download it on all my devices. One thing I would recommend is the option to delete all progress and start from the beginning, purchased packs intact of course. Otherwise the game is perfect to me.

### 5/5 — GOAT TD

*2025-11-05, version 2.4.3*

Quite simply the goat TD for mobile.

### 5/5 — We had it all.

*2025-05-18, version 2.4.3*

This game is worth it. I first downloaded this game in 2012. It’s just a great strategy game that’s fun all around with amazing graphics. The best part about it is there’s no dumb side missions that have nothing to do with the game like the current games in the market that are misleading. You will not regret downloading this game!

### 4/5 — Difficult but not impossible

*2025-03-17, version 2.4.3*

You just have to be… clever. 
Great little game, I remember playing a long time ago (probably 10+ years!) and suddenly remembered the game but not what it was called. I found it after some searching and it’s still great! Lots of fun, very tricky, great music! And for me, really nostalgic 🥰

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2025-01-08, version 2.4.3*

I’ve never played this before, but it reminds me of phone games from the 00’s (subway surfers, temple run, fruit ninja, etc) It’s very nastalgic, a good time saver and honestly simple fun with a good amount of challenge. love playing while💨🍃

### 5/5 — Очень крутая игра

### 5/5 — Крутая игруля

*2024-10-25*

Игра просто офигеть какая крутая не слишком сложная и не слишком лёгкая ,была у нас на телевизоре и теперь себе на телефон скачал. Если вы будете играть то не пожалеете что установили👍👍👍

### 5/5 — 以前有个版本是中文现在为什么没中文了呢，很好的游戏

*2024-09-16, version 2.4.3*

以前有个版本是中文现在为什么没中文了呢，很好的游戏

### 5/5 — Игра классная, но без доната очень сложно играть

*2024-08-03*

Графика 9/10, музыка 8/10, гемплей 9/10, полезность для мозга 9/10, сложность без доната 10/10, с донатом 8/10. Плюсы что нет надоедливой рекламы, минусы что мало оружия в стоке
