### 5/5 — Fun but difficult

*2022-06-07, version 1.1.5*

Great game but it quickly gets difficult, wish I could place more turrets between waves, maybe add a difficulty option that just allows you to add more turrets or something. Cool game though.

**Developer response:** The key to make it easier is to switch weapons in accordance to the current situation on the battlefield. The experience is meant to be hardcore, not frustrating, so with this advice it can be this way. Thank you for the review and 5 star rating! :)

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!!

*2022-04-29, version 1.1.5*

But needs game balancing and updating. Review update, I absolutely do love the game!! 100% 🔥!! But level 20 is near impossible. Or is impossible. No matter what I do.

### 5/5 — Fantastic time killer!

*2021-01-05, version 1.1.5*

I found this game favourably reviewed as one that does NOT have In-app purchases which I oh so despise. Turns out this game is dope!  Be sure to use the 2x zoom making it easier to see and so far the game is a bit challenging at times and just fun blowing up cavalcades with a BIG cannon. Can’t wait to get another weapon. Little repetitious but what mobile game isn’t. This one is highly fun and way worth the new reduced price and dare I say it’s even worth 3.99

**Developer response:** What an amazing review, thank you! We're honoured and excited that you feel that way about our first game. Enjoy the rest of it!

### 5/5 — Very cool!

*2020-10-10, version 1.1.5*

I just realized that I’ve been playing this game since released but haven’t given it review. And this game definitely deserves one! 
I was pleasantly surprised to find this game for about $2 and soon it was obvious that the game is clearly worth it’s price. The 1st person aspect harkens to the gunner games of yore like Beach Head. As a matter of fact, it would be my only creative contribution to recommend adding Beach Head-like environments....in the sequel, maybe? I think natural environments/battlegrounds would definitely enhance the quality of your already awesome game. Thanks! Hope to see you again! Also, sorry for taking so long for this well-deserved review. You deserve more!

**Developer response:** That's great to hear that you liked it! Beach Head does look similar to Type II, thank you for the tip. Also, you probably know this, but as you progress through the game, you will unlock some natural looking levels already. Thank you for this review! And sorry for even more delayed response.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2020-07-19, version 1.1.5*

Great fun, nice mix of FPS and tower defense.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! We really don't have enough reviews yet, so every single one - especially this positive - is just amazing :)
