### 3/5 — potential

*2026-03-04, version 1.49*

out of the gate, this game is fun, the problem for my experience was a few minutes (less than) basically after buying the 3rd gun...the game crashes.  If you replay you must start over, get to the same exact spot, crash.  Unfortunate.  seems like it would've been really fun

### 3/5 — 面白いが

*2025-09-28, version 1.49*

金の効率が悪いせいでパーマダメージとか全然あげれないので、エンドレスモードとかの金収集率を上げてほしい

### 5/5 — Tower Ball

*2025-08-29, version 1.49*

I play on android but wanted to try on iPhone.

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2025-05-07, version 1.45*

I heard good things about this game and wanted to try it but it just crashes before the title screen.

### 1/5 — It’s No Tower Defense To Me!

*2025-02-01, version 1.42*

Perspectively, it’s not!

### 1/5 — Ad watched -> can’t open app anymore

*2024-12-24, version 1.40*

I have watched one ad. Now the game instantly freezes and then crashes when I try to open it.

### 5/5 — Super Game

*2024-07-12, version 1.37*

No ads no ptw a relaxed idle game thanks

### 3/5 — Having an Error

*2024-05-08, version 1.37*

Okay. So right away I like this game a lot. Have played games with a similar overall theme but this game is very unique in many ways. Great job with making this pretty original. However I have an error very soon after playing. The point I am supposed to be obtaining every so many enemies (or possibly enmity hit points) are not. Wind added to the total. It clearly shows the countdown to get the next 3 or 4 or 5 or however many “points” and when they are supposed to be issued no points are added. Please fix this as I would like be to love this game.

### 1/5 — Fix it pls

*2024-04-14, version 1.37*

Closes the game as soon as I open it

### 1/5 — Cannot play game whatsoever

*2024-04-05, version 1.37*

Every time I try to open this game it immediately crashes. I can’t even attempt to play it. Very sad since I’d love to give it a try.
