End note: great game, super fun, great graphics and great enemy design, just wish they kept the OG soundtrack. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2022-03-13, version 1.6.0* Nice tower game, with a classic style, it also has a continuation, very cool. ### 5/5 — This game is great *2022-03-12, version 1.6.0* I like the game and can you add that you can play as a airship as well as the sword carrier pls ok ### 1/5 — I lost 3 dollars *2020-05-01, version 1.6.0* I love this game and all of the turrets and challenging levels. Although I have attempted to buy one thing for a dollar and another for two dollars. Each time I had done so, my game crashed, my Apple ID said I lost that amount of money, but I hadn’t gotten any tower points. So don’t spend money on this if your planning to. ### 5/5 — Great game must play *2019-04-12, version 1.6.0* I downloaded this game on my last device which was broke but I completed the game I was sitting here 12:42 AM and I was just like steampunk tower was a good game and got it back but please add a endless mode and the unit idea is great to please add these features because over all the games great but I would love more content ### 5/5 — Amazing game keep it up *2018-04-22, version 1.6.0* Keep it up and love it so much please update and add more content please and amazing game well done I like the new idea of the game and really like how it’s done ### 5/5 — Ideas *2017-12-17, version 1.6.0* I love this game but I think you guys could add a endless mode that would make me love it even more me and my friend compete with each other who can win level 20 with the least amount of bots but if you add endless mode it will give us a chance to really compete and for others to have fun ### 5/5 — Good but *2017-07-13, version 1.6.0* Good but can you add units to send from the steampunk tower you can pick a unit to send out to fight the enemy. Make them the units that the enemy has ### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful Game! *2017-05-28, version 1.6.0* The graphics are stunning, gameplay is addicting and delivered extremely well. I absolutely adore this game 5/5 A+ ### 5/5 — Unique game *2017-01-21, version 1.4.0* This game is unique unlike other games on the AppStore which copy each other (not all of them, but some of them).There is a good amount of enemy type.I have played it for 1 year now and I still enjoy it. ## Frequently asked questions about Steampunk Tower ### What is Steampunk Tower about?
