### 5/5 — Bring it back!

*2026-01-22, version 1.51.0*

I still play this game 10 years later and I wish they would put it back on the app store again.

### 3/5 — Potential

*2025-11-24, version 1.51.0*

Too bad they haven’t updated it since 2019 add new towers like you say in the game. It’s fun please I’ll fix my rating

### 4/5 — Woowowowo

*2023-06-30, version 1.51.0*

Wwowoowowowowowoowowowowowow

### 5/5 — Works

*2022-09-12, version 1.51.0*

Still works on the first gen iPad

### 4/5 — Simple entretenido y sin anuncios

*2022-07-04, version 1.51.0*

El juego es bueno para pasar el rato, tiene opciones de niveles (interfaces de torres) y cero publicidad. Eso se agradece. 
Si de alguna forma de Mmmmm se puede mejorar, es agregando nuevos estilos de torres. Tiene los mismos desde que se creó el juego

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2022-02-10, version 1.51.0*

Goodstuff

### 3/5 — Fun!

*2022-01-23, version 1.51.0*

It’s pretty cool but sometimes boring 😀

### 4/5 — Good game, needs a slight change

*2022-01-20, version 1.51.0*

I think the game is very fun and well designed, but it has one issue that I believe should be resolved: it takes a while to advance. I’ve played pretty extensively the past week (multiple hours a day) and it’s getting to the point of being repetitive. The upgrades get very expensive and the size of the upgrades are very, VERY incremental. It gets exhausting trying to make a lot of progress when I’m just mindlessly playing round after round just to get one upgrades that I want.

I suggest either decreasing the cost of upgrades, increasing the size of the upgrades, OR having some way to collect coins idly. Either over of these, or all the combined, would make this game much more pleasant to casually play.

### 4/5 — nn tenho mt opiniao sobre

*2021-11-27, version 1.51.0*

gostei mas poderia adicionar mais levels.. alguma meta sla

### 4/5 — One suggestion and please listen Ketchup

*2021-11-21, version 1.51.0*

You need to have a function to toggle from left handed to right. I’ve spent countless amounts of coins accidentally hitting the undo bottom on the bottom left of the screen……… right where my……. Left thumb……… touches the screen. Or at least move the bottom to the top of the screen. Please and thank you
