Great game but too short

This is a common genre of game now but this one definitely does it best for mobile. It’s easy to play with one hand and is quite a brain teaser to figure out the puzzles. My only issue is that there aren’t enough levels. I was hoping for a candy crush type of long haul game, but it seems this is short and sweet. I don’t even want more upgrades or towers, just more challenges and longer encounters to use them in. I want to be able to build up a really large defense system and put it to the test against large amounts of difficult enemies. The game has tons of potential, it just doesn’t have enough content to fully flesh out the systems it introduces.

5/5

Очень интересная стратегия с защитой башни. Прошел на одном дыхании за 2-3 дня.
Единственно, чего не хватает, так это продолжения… Надеюсь в будущем будут обновления✊🏼

Perfect game

This game is wonderfully made. The design is simplistic and yet exquisite. It’s fun to play. A tower defence game with a different gameplay style. Truly wonderful.

Not worth the price

Not as many hours of gameplay as claimed. The levels go very fast if you’re good at these kinds of games.
The towers are unbalanced and the stats aren’t even shown. So you end up relying on the same few towers for every level with only a few tweaks. Not very interesting from a strategy perspective.
