### 1/5 — please label demos

*2026-08-20, version 2.12.21*

what a waist of data

### 5/5 — Very satisfying game

*2026-08-15, version 2.12.21*

I love this game. Beautiful design, many variations and levels to explore.  FANTASTIC value for the price, especially when you consider how so many apps try to bleed you dry with in-app purchases etc.

### 3/5 — Fun game broken by update

*2026-08-14, version 2.12.21*

I loved this game and played obsessively. But the last update has broken it. Now it just flashes on my iPad and doesn’t get past the loading screen.

### 5/5 — Addicting, great graphics, runs super smoothly

*2026-08-08, version 2.12.20*

Had it on my wishlist on steam forever & decided to get the demo on my ipad mini. Bought the game a day later on here. Surprised how well I like it on my ipad. I love the graphics & mechanics.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-08-06, version 2.12.20*

I’d about given up searching for a good defense game. It’s worth the ten bucks.

### 5/5 — Super Geil!

*2026-07-31*

Bis jetzt gefällt es mir sehr, sehr gut und ist jeden Penny wert. Ich spiele es auf einem  iPhone.

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2026-07-28, version 2.12.20*

Is a very good game but not worth the 7 bucks maybe 5.

### 1/5 — i don’t recommend

*2026-07-22, version 2.12.20*

the trial went great and i liked the game. But then i bought the game and it wont let me go into it and just says loading. i’ve left it open for 20 min while it stayed on that same screen. i dont know if this is just for me or others as well, but it took my money and i cant even play it.

### 3/5 — Buggy af

*2026-07-16, version 2.12.19*

Autosave message won’t disappear on Mac M3, restarted, now no sound, then an ad autoplayed on a loop in the background… will give this a miss just now

### 2/5 — Many issues

*2026-07-15*

Could be a great game but many issues :
- no sync across device (iphone <-> ipad) and even no cloud save while activated. On a new install you start from scratch.
- the ‘no restart’ bonus is not activated if you don’t make a run in one go (13 rounds)
- the real no go : you can win easily on 12/13 rounds and the final one (the boss) is impossible to win with your current build. You need to start from scratch just designing your build for that last round. Bad game design
