### 5/5 — Good game, but it needs more bugs and soldiers

*2026-06-06, version 1.0*

I really want more bug variants I don’t like that there’s only three kinds of bugs I want there to be more. I really don’t like that. There’s only spider bugs, acid bugs, and warrior bugs. I really love the giant red bugs. Those guys are challenging but fun.😊 I also want more troops. I don’t really like that. There’s only vanguards snipers and the classic troopers. I really want more troops but other than those two things it’s very fun. also, is it a new game? There’s a few glitches 
in it. also, can you please add an update where you can delete stuff I really don’t like that. You can’t delete anything.

### 5/5 — W game

### 4/5 — Bug

*2024-04-06, version 1.0*

The game is really fun to play and I love the feeling of power as you move through the waves of enemies but it seems every time I get to wave 10 no enemies spawn and it’s just stuck like that

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2022-12-03, version 1.0*

I don’t usually write bad reviews but this game deserved one. There are just too many add and bugs. I’ll try to place down anything and everything will just disappear and the adds are just horrible every game dude. Then after I buy thing and try to build walls they are one shot and this is for the s tier.
I would not wast your time on this game
